Turning your home into a smart home doesn't have to cost a lot. Whether you want a whole-home security system or you want to start with something smaller, there are plenty of Ring products that will suit your requirements.

From indoor cameras to smart light bulbs, Ring products can be connected via the Ring app, allowing you to control and customize your smart home, as well as set schedules, lighting groups, and motion detection zones.

Here are the best Ring products available today.

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 features upgraded video from the previous version, offering 1536p, versus 1080p in the model before. While you'll have to hardwire it to your existing doorbell wiring, this video doorbell boasts 3D motion detection allowing you to customize motion zones so you can identify who's at or near your door.

Alongside this, the two-way talk allows you to hear and respond to anyone that's in range of the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2, as well as built-in Alexa greetings when you aren't at home. You can connect all of your Ring products to the Ring app and view real-time notifications and a live view of what's happening. Although this video doorbell doesn't necessarily act as a security device, it does add a layer of protection to your home if you don't have a security camera.

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 uses dual-band Wi-Fi to connect via the Ring app. As with all Ring products, you don't have to sign up for a Ring plan to enjoy many of the benefits, however, if you want to save or share any of your doorbell recordings, it might be worth considering the subscription.

The Ring Stick Up Cam is an affordable way to add security to your home. There are two versions; battery-powered and wired, both as easy to install as the other. Once installed, you can adjust the tilt manually to get the perfect angle which you can confirm via the Ring app to get a live view of what your camera sees. From the app, you can define motion zones and set schedules, so you can save on battery when it's not needed.

Once a zone has been set up, the Ring app will alert you to any motion that's detected. Videos are recorded in 1080p, allowing you to view what's been happening while you're not at home. It's a great solution for indoor and outdoor security, especially if you live in a smaller home and would prefer to use several Ring Stick Up Cams than a whole home security system.

If you do opt for a subscription to one of Ring's plans, be mindful that you'll need a high-speed internet connection to upload videos, especially if you have multiple Ring Stick Up Cams set up. The uploading process can use a fair amount of bandwidth, but you can customize what is and isn't captured via the Ring app.
