Forget Ring – the best Prime Day video doorbell deals start at £76 and you won’t have to pay monthly

There are tons of deals on doorbells every Prime Day and July 2025 is no different to any other. You can pick up a Blink Video doorbell for a paltry £28, reduced from the non-sale price of £49; the 2024 Ring Battery Video Doorbell is a mere £50, reduced from £100; and the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro is down to £130 from £200.

Those are pretty tempting prices, but before you splash your cash on one of these, I’d urge you to consider a different pair of doorbells, from manufacturers you may not have considered before.

First up, there’s the Tapo D235, a product that currently sits proudly atop our Best Video Doorbells page. The Tapo D235 is only £76 in the Prime Day sale, reduced from its average price of £94. That may not sound like a huge discount, but as it’s such good value in the first place, it’s hard to be too critical and this is the lowest price it has ever been.

Second, there’s the Eufy E340, a doorbell with two cameras: one facing the front to capture visitors on video, the other facing down to show you clearly any parcels that may have been left on your doorstep. The Eufy E240 is now £90, reduced from an average price of £150, although it has been as low as £100 quite frequently during its life span.

There are several reasons why you should opt for either of these doorbells instead of the obvious alternatives from Ring, and the first is that both can be operated without having to pay a monthly subscription. The Tapo D235 lets you store recorded video clips on a microSD card (not included) while the E340 has a whopping 8GB of storage built in.

Ring doorbells, on the other hand, don’t let you do this. Instead, you have to pay a minimum of £5 per month to access any recorded video clips after your initial 30-day free trial has expired.

And that’s not all. Ring doorbells also prevent you from using other core functions unless you pay monthly. You can’t set up motion zones, for instance, to limit how often you receive alerts when someone or something passes in front of your front door. You won’t get smart person, package or vehicle alerts, either.

Both our recommended doorbells, on the other hand, are fully functional, whether you decide to pay for cloud video clip storage or not.

But this isn’t the only reason you might consider one of these alternatives. Here’s a quick list of reasons whey you might consider them:

• The Tapo D235 comes with a chime unit in the box so you don’t have to spend extra
• The Eufy 340 includes night lights that shine up and down and activate as you approach your door, so no fumbling around with doorkeys in the dark
• The rechargeable battery in the Tapo D235 is a massive 10,000mAh and will last a claimed 210 days
• Both doorbells can be powered via the mains or their built-in battery and will ring existing chimes

If you’ve been thinking of buying a video doorbell because, well, everyone else has got one, then do yourself a favour and consider picking up one of our two favourites first. You won’t regret picking up either in the Amazon Prime sale.
