Need some smart tech to protect your home or your property? Amazon has released a new Alexa-enabled Ring doorbell that's the ideal security measure for protecting your home.
The newer edition is in a sleeker, more compact case than the older model, and the doorbell is great for keeping track of who is knocking on your door or going near your house – meaning more time spent relaxing and less time worrying.
The camera broadcasts and records in 1080p HD quality, so you can clearly see who is at your front door.

With a built-in motion sense technology, you can focus on what you want and protect the areas you need, and you can pick one up from Amazon right now for £179 (without expert installation).
This is how it works: as soon as someone is at your door, you will be sent a notification to your phone or to your Echo device, and then you can use Alexa voice control to communicate with whoever is at the door.
The only other cost is if you want to have video recording on your ring, in which case you will have to sign up to Ring Protect.
