Ring, Amazon.com Inc.’s smart home security division, on Wednesday launched a $60 home doorbell, its cheapest model to date.
The gadget, which lets homeowners talk to visitors via audio and video, is called the Ring Video Doorbell Wired because it’s connected to a residence’s electrical circuits rather than running on a rechargeable battery like other Ring products.
