Summary

  • $350 marks the first recorded discount for Amazon's Ring Wired Doorbell Elite, a $150 drop from its usual $500 price.
  • The cut narrows the gap with the Ring Doorbell Pro to $100, while the Elite adds Ethernet power and connectivity for a more stable video feed than Wi-Fi-only setups.
  • Ring positions the Elite as its newest and priciest doorbell, with 4K video, 10x zoom, intercom-style gate access and Echo alerts.
  • The deal stands out as consumer tech prices broadly rise, giving Prime members a rare markdown on Ring's top-end wired model.
