Safety for ding dongs
5 of 15
Doorbells used to just ring, ding, and dong. But thanks to modern technology, doorbells can now double as internet-connected surveillance devices. Ring's $249 Video Doorbell Pro can record HD video of your front steps, even at night. It includes motion sensors and two-way audio, so you can literally yell "get off my lawn" from anywhere.
It's an ideal gift for heavy Amazon Prime users or neighborhood busy bodies. You can use the app to see what's going on in front of your house while you're at work, in the back yard, or on a mountaintop halfway around the world (assuming you have signal).
