Homeowners who want to keep a slightly closer eye on home security often opt for a smart doorbell, a moderngadget that is easy to set up and puts a camera at the front door to monitor comings and goings.

A popular brand to go for is Ring, but there's a rival doorbell that's on sale right now that could provide better value for money.

The Blink Video Doorbell is currently on sale with a whopping 55 per cent discount at £26.99 instead of £59.99.

It's an offer that's part of Amazon's Early Prime Day Deals selection before the retailer's annual Prime Day sale officially starts next week, running from June 23 to June 26. Shoppers need to be signed up to Amazon Prime to get access to the deals, but the good news is that newcomers can get a 30-day free trial.

Blink is a brand that, just like Ring, is actually owned by Amazon, so if shoppers were hoping to escape that brand, they might prefer something like the Google Nest Doorbell - though at £129 it's much more expensive even when it's on sale.
