Ever got home from work only to find a package swiped from underneath your very own front door? You need this gadget.
Shoppers are raving about a video doorbell sold on Amazon that lets you see, hear, and speak to anyone from your phone, tablet, or PC.
The Ring Video Doorbell (currently $140) quickly and easily syncs up with your smartphone or tablet, meaning you can get mobile notifications when anyone presses your doorbell or triggers your built-in motion sensors.

You can also answer the door from wherever you are with Two-Way Talk, or if you’re busy, save time and use Quick Replies to respond with a pre-selected message.
Those who have got their hands on the Ring Video Doorbell have raved about it, where there are more than 130,000 reviews online and one has described it as the “best on the market”.
“Have been wanting one of these video doorbells for ages, and finally bit the bullet and bought the package with the monitor,” one shopper wrote.
“Within a week, it proved its worth, capturing somebody trying to get in my home via the front door. Police were called, video footage viewed by them, and the crook recognised. Needless to say – arrested next day and charged with serious criminal tresspass and attempt to break and enter.”
Another said: “Lots of great features to program sensitivity and viewing area. Battery life is phenomenal. I recharge once a month, mainly because I use features that use more power than the norm.
“On top of that, the monitor doubles as my Spotify speaker in the family room – coupled with a few Dot speakers spread throughout the house.”
While a third added: “Very easy to use with the app and has captured things well”.
The Ring Video Doorbell is powered by the built-in rechargeable battery or connects to existing doorbell wires for constant power.
And, in good news, it’s water-resistant, meaning it can survive the rain and elements outside.
If you’re on holiday, you can review what you missed for up to 180 days – and if you’re an Amazon junkie, you can pair it with select Alexa-enabled devices to enable announcements and two-way talk for convenient in-home monitoring.
