FeaturedRing Guard Response is a new UK subscription that dispatches licensed guards via RSPNDR for £29.99 a month, in Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester and Cardiff. Here are the price, requirements, limits and what it means for Home Assistant users.
FeaturedA dated price check of Black Friday Ring doorbell deals in the UK. On 28 October 2026 Ring's own shop lists a Wired Video Doorbell 2K plus Chime at £79.99 and a Battery 4K Pro with an Indoor Camera Plus at £219.99. It ranks four picks, separates bundle savings from sale prices and says when waiting is worth it.
FeaturedRing announced TAKE (Throw Away the Key Encryption) on 26 August 2026 and is phasing it in as the default for every customer. This explains how the key handling works, how it differs from the optional end-to-end encryption setting, what Ring hasn't said about devices and third-party access, and what it means if you run Ring alongside Home Assistant.
