For those not in the know, Ring Doorbells offer a simple way to keep an eye on the front of your home. The 2nd Gen model features a design that's simple to DIY install. It has a battery so there's no wiring needed and its in-built camera sends live video and alerts straight to your smartphone.

That means you always see who is on your driveway no matter where in the world you are.

A speaker also lets you chat to whoever has just rung the bell and there's even Quick Replies to let you respond with your choice of six preset messages. It's fully water resistant so can survive the British weather, has night vision for when the sun goes down, can record in full 1080p quality and includes features such as customisable motion settings to help preserve power.

If that sounds enticing you can add that Ring device to your shopping basket plus the Echo Pop with Alexa built-in and save a total of £39.99.

One bonus of having this duo of gadgets is that Echo will alert you if someone is at the front door meaning you should never miss a parcel being delivered
