I'm talking about something like this Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam, which is now down to its best price ahead of Prime Day: $40 (was $80). This is an early Prime Day deal, so you'll need a Prime sub to take advantage—but if you aren't a Prime member, all you have to do is start a free 30-day Prime trial. With it, you'll also be able to score Prime Day deals next week!
All you need for this security camera is the Ring app. Once you're connected, you can peek in at any time via the Live View, and you can control the camera's position with 360 degrees of horizontal panning and 169 degrees of vertical tilting. With 1080p video and color night vision, you'll get a clear image at all times of day—and you can even talk to whoever's in the room via Two-Way Talk.
This Ring camera also comes with Alexa support, so you can integrate with other Alexa devices (like smart displays) to pull up and watch footage. Worried about what it records when you're chilling at home? Use the built-in privacy cover to block recording. With a paid Ring Home subscription, you can also unlock extra features like 180 days of event history, person/package/vehicle alerts, and more.
Get the Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam for 50% off before this early Prime Day deal expires! If you'd rather still shop around, be sure to check out our roundup of the

Not only did I save money, but my speeds increased from 400 Mbps to 500 Mbps.
While I can't guarantee the same results everywhere, in general it's a great time to threaten to cancel cable internet service.
For years, Comcast and Charter (which operates the Spectrum brand) have boasted to shareholders that growth in home internet more than offsets the collapse of cable TV, but now they're losing internet customers to vendors offering faster fiber and cheaper 5G wireless alternatives. They are highly motivated to keep potential defectors on board, so you should take full advantage of their collective insecurity.
What competition looks like
Last year, Spectrum and Comcast lost 508,000 and 411,000 home internet customers respectively . The year before, Comcast lost 66,000, while Spectrum lost 61,000. Stock prices for both companies are already below what they were two y
