Ring’s flexible Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam is on sale for the first time today

1 month ago

Many of today’s indoor security cameras are great, but unless you have multiple cameras positioned throughout your home at different angles, it can be tough to keep an eye on your pet, porch, and other happenings while you’re away. Enter Ring’s new Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam, which is now available in either black or white at Amazon, Best Buy, and Ring’s online storefront for a new low of $59.99 ($20 off).

In most respects, Ring’s first integrated pan and tilt camera is an iterative update of Ring’s second-gen Indoor Cam, which remains a cheap solution for monitoring the interior of your home. The wired camera offers 1080p HD video and color night vision, as well as two-way talk, a built-in siren, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connectivity, and a physical privacy cover that lets you block the camera and microphone. The big update, though, is the camera’s motorized base, which allows you to point it up or down and rotate it a full 360 degrees using Ring’s accompanying mobile app. It also comes with a 10-foot USB-C cable and two separate mounts — a ceiling mount and a wall mount — making it a bit easier to eliminate unwanted blind spots in your home.

The biggest downside, as is the case with all Ring cameras, is that you’ll need to sign up for a Ring Protect plan (from $4.99 a month) for person detection, rich notifications, and recorded video. Otherwise, you’ll only be able to take advantage of motion alerts and a live video feed.

The Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam is the company’s first indoor camera that can rotate 360 degrees to give you a full view of your home. While it’s a big upgrade to the company’s smallest camera, it lacks automatic motion tracking.

Some additional ways to save

Despite once flagging it as a limited-time deal, Walmart is still selling the Animal Crossing-themed Switch Lite — which includes a digital copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons — for an all-time low of $159 ($41 off). Yes, it’s somewhat of an odd time to pick up Nintendo’s aging handheld given that the Switch 2 will reportedly arrive next year; however, upcoming games like Mario & Luigi: Brothership, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and Super Mario Party Jamboree might make for the perfect swan song for the Switch when they launch in the fall.

REI has officially kicked off its Labor Day sale and clearance event, which will end on September 2nd. It’s somewhat slim pickings on the tech front, though Coleman’s Cascade Classic Camp Stove is nearly matching its lowest price to date at $74.99 ($25 off). The relatively compact two-burner stove is pretty basic, as the name implies, but it’s long been my go-to for picnics and car camping, as it offers adjustable windscreens, a matchless igniter, and enough cooking power for most meals (if you’re willing to wait).
Although a gimbal-less sequel to the Insta360 Link is rumored to be in the works, you can still grab the first-gen model from Amazon, B&H Photo, and Insta360 for $199.99 (100 off), which matches its best price to date. The fun, 4K-ready webcam offers great software customization and an array of shooting modes, all of which rely on a capable 0.5-inch sensor and a motorized, three-axis arm that’s designed to keep you centered in the frame while on video calls or livestreams.
