Brand-new Ring doorbell solves one of the biggest headaches for people in flats, and it costs just £69

For the first time, people who live in a high-rise flat will be treated to the same Ring doorbell experience as those who live at ground level. The Amazon-owned brand has launched a new video intercom system that lets you see and talk to visitors outside from your phone, tablet, or Echo smart home device.

The Ring Intercom Video lets you see and talk with visitors at your building’s entrance directly from your phone — a step up from the company’s earlier audio-only intercom, which allowed you to buzz people in and talk to them, but didn’t provide any video feed.

The device integrates with your existing intercom wiring and connects to the Ring app, so you can check who's at the door, whether you’re upstairs in bed or halfway across the world. Live video streaming combined with two-way talk allows for a proper conversation with anyone visiting.

Since there are no permanent changes to your current intercom, the Ring Intercom Video can be removed and packed-up and taken with you when you move house.

Be one of the first to buy the new Ring video intercom on Amazon, and at a discount. This new device is built specifically for flats, giving renters and apartment dwellers a much easier way to level up home security without any drilling or permanent changes. It connects to your existing intercom system so you can see and hear visitors live via the Ring app. The device normally costs £99, but it’s currently £69 until December 2, 2025. Amazon is also running a trade-in programme where you can get an additional 20% off, even on broken Ring hardware.

You get live video streaming straight to your phone via the Ring app, so you can see visitors in real-time. There's two-way talk built in, meaning you can have a proper conversation with whoever's at the door.

Want to let someone in? You can unlock the building entrance remotely with just a tap. It's especially handy when you're expecting deliveries or guests while you're away from home.

If you've got an Echo Show device, it gets even better. You can monitor your building entrance hands-free and chat with visitors without picking up your phone. Compatible with Amazon's Alexa, all you have to do is say "Hey Alexa" followed by your question to see who's at the door, and you're sorted.

Customise how your smart home devices react when visitors buzz your intercom. Pause movies, blink lights, or set custom alerts - endless possibilities with Alexa routines

To set up the intercom, you won't need any tools or professional help. Ring designed it specifically so you don't have to drill holes or make any permanent changes to your building. And if you're renting, that means there won't be any mess or structural work involved when it comes time to move.

For those who may travel a bunch or are burning the midnight oil at the office, you can handle all your building access from wherever you are, giving you peace of mind about who's coming and going while you're away.

To celebrate its new arrival, the new Ring video intercom is only £69.99 until December 2, 2025 — when it jumps up to £99.99. So if you're thinking about it, now could be the time to grab one at the lower price.

Already got the audio-only Ring Intercom? You're in luck - Amazon offers a trade-in programme that lets you swap your old device for the new video version. The US retailer will give you an extra 20% off your purchase, and they'll even take your broken devices.

• Trade-in your old device for the new Ring video intercom

These are the steps to trade-in a Ring device on Amazon:

1. Select any eligible device(s) linked to your Amazon account, or search for the model if bought elsewhere
2. Answer questions about the condition of your device(s) to receive a trade-in quote
3. Even non-working devices will be eligible
4. Print a shipping label and send your device(s) for free
5. Amazon will verify the condition within 3 days after its engineers take delivery of the device
6. Once your trade-in is complete, you'll receive a limited-time discount towards a new Ring device

Ring hasn't forgotten about those who prefer the simpler option, either.

The original Ring Intercom Audio has actually dropped in price to £79.99. This could be a great choice if you just want the remote unlocking and voice features without the video streaming.
