Shoppers rush to buy best-selling Ring security camera while its on sale at Amazon Australia

7NEWS28-05-2025

A deal this good on a brand new security device from one of the most trusted names in smart home tech doesn't come around often.
The Ring Outdoor Camera Plus Battery is currently slashed to just $119 on Amazon Australia, down from $179, a rare 34 per cent discount on a just-released model.
Ring has built a loyal fan base for a reason. Known for user-friendly devices that deliver crisp video and clever features, it's become a go-to for Aussies wanting simple, reliable home security.
And this latest launch ticks all the boxes, plus a few extras.
The Outdoor Camera Plus is battery-powered, compact, and packed with upgraded tech.
I've been testing it indoors in my apartment, and the flexibility is a huge win.
Because it runs on a removable Quick Release Battery Pack, I can move it around wherever I need extra coverage.
Sometimes it's by the front door for deliveries, other times it's watching over my living room while I'm away. Setup takes minutes, no tools required.
You'll get 2K wide-angle video, rich in colour and detail, even in low light, thanks to Ring's Low-Light Sight.
It uses nearby street lighting to give you full-colour video at night without needing floodlights. That alone makes it a standout.
The camera also works with Alexa-enabled devices like the Echo Show, so you can say, 'Alexa, show me the back garden,' and check in without lifting a finger.
And with Live View and two-way talk, you can see, hear and speak to anyone on camera, great for deterring strangers or chatting with couriers.
While the included battery works well, those wanting a more permanent setup can upgrade to the solar panel version or the plug-in model.
It's also compatible with the Ring Home Plan (sold separately), which gives you up to 180 days of video history and smart notifications.
Every part of the camera has been carefully engineered, from the anti-reflective glass that performs well in sunlight to Ring's Clarity Engine, which ensures what you see on your phone is sharp and accurate in real time.

Connecting remote Australian communities to the world

We're now on the precipice of the next giant leap in connectivity, as the nbn network prepares for a great acceleration. See all 8 stories. Connecting the furthest corners of the country, the nbn network unlocks access to essential services and new opportunities, which can improve the lives of Australians in remote communities. In a country as vast as Australia, it's critical to ensure that the benefits of access to reliable home internet aren't just available to city dwellers. In many ways, distance means that enhanced connectivity is even more important to those who live in remote communities. Australians who live far from the amenities and infrastructure that others take for granted depend on reliable internet to access critical services and take advantage of a broader range of economic opportunities. Telehealth ensures that all Australians have access to world-class medical services, while high-speed broadband also enables the transfer of large files such as radiology scans. Remote learning allows Australians to study at the nation's best universities without the need to relocate, and as more businesses embrace remote working, employers can tap into a wealth of talent from coast to coast, not just in major cities. Emerging home-entertainment technologies are also more demanding when it comes to bandwidth. Streaming 4K video can require three to four times more data than full high definition, while cloud gaming can consume 14 to 24 times more data than full high-definition video streaming. The evolution of the nbn network for remote connectivity The good news is that Australia's broadband infrastructure is evolving to try and meet these growing needs. When it comes to broadband connectivity, the nbn has significantly expanded the full Fibre To The Premises footprint, offering upgrade options to all premises still connected by Fibre To The Node, while wireless alternatives allow Aussies who live outside major population centres to stay connected to the information superhighway. nbn's Fixed Wireless and Sky Muster satellites are two of the key technologies connecting remote Australians to the internet. These technologies continue to be upgraded to improve performance and keep pace with growing demand.
