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

Run, don't walk: This $399 Philips air fryer is now just $198 in a rare Amazon Australia deal
If there's one kitchen gadget Aussies swear by these days, it's the trusty air fryer, and Philips has just dropped one of its best-sellers to an all-time low price. The Philips Dual Basket Air Fryer, which usually retails for $399, is now available on Amazon Australia for just $198, a massive 50 per cent off. This isn't just any air fryer. It's sleek, modern and seriously clever. Designed with RapidAir Plus technology, it delivers crispy results with up to 90 per cent less fat, so you can enjoy your favourite fried food without the guilt. Think hot chips, golden chicken nuggets, crispy fish, fluffy roasted veg or even cakes, all done with virtually no oil. What really sets it apart, though, is the two-drawer design. Each drawer operates independently with its own temperature and timing, but they can also sync up to ensure your whole meal finishes cooking at exactly the same time. So, no more soggy sides waiting around while your chicken catches up. One drawer is slightly smaller than the other, which means you can use less power for those quick weekday meals or heat-ups. But when it's time to feed the whole family, the full 9-litre capacity comes in handy. And thanks to the Sync and Copy functions, cooking a full dinner is as simple as tapping a button. The intuitive touchscreen makes it easy to select from eight preset cooking modes, including fresh and frozen fries, chicken, fish, meat, cake and vegetables. No guessing, no fiddling with temps, just touch and go. Plus, the beeping reminder tells you when it's time to toss your food for perfect results every time. Cleanup is easy too; the PTFE non-stick coated baskets slide out and go straight into the dishwasher. No soaking, scrubbing or swearing needed. And if you're stuck for dinner ideas, the Philips HomeID app has step-by-step recipes that are tailored specifically for the dual-basket model, so you can get the most out of your new kitchen toy. One shopper shared their experience, and it might just convince you: 'If you've owned a single drawer air fryer before, you'll know it can be frustrating trying to cook two different types of food that need different settings. This air fryer sorts that out. Put chips in one drawer, chicken nuggets in the other, hit the magic button, they finish at the same time, no checking needed.' 'It looks great on the bench top, too. The smaller drawer is perfect for small meals, and it uses less power. It's the perfect air fryer.' Considering the huge discount, sleek design and unbeatable functionality, this is a deal that won't last long.

Urgent warning: Major brands caught in power bank fire risk crisis
Don't miss out on the headlines from Breaking News. Followed categories will be added to My News. Aussies are being warned to urgently check their wireless power banks following a surge in recalls linked to overheating, fires, serious burns and property damage. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has sounded the alarm over more than 34,000 faulty power banks still in circulation, many of which pose a significant fire hazard due to lithium-ion battery malfunctions. ACCC deputy chair Catriona Lowe said some consumers had suffered serious burns and others had experienced property damage after faulty power banks overheated and caught fire. 'Most incidents have occurred when the power bank is charging a phone or other device, which makes it more likely that they will be close to the user when they fail, increasing the likelihood of injuries,' Ms Lowe said. The Quad lock MAG battery pack battery pack can overheat and catch fire, with confirmed incidents causing property damage. Since 2020, the watchdog has listed 17 separate power bank recalls, including nine in the past 16 months, raising concerns about a growing trend. The affected devices were sold by major tech brands including Anker, Baseus, Belkin, Cygnett, Quad Lock and SnapWireless. Some of the most serious incidents have involved power banks bursting into flames during use, causing severe burn injuries, house fires, and thousands of dollars in property damage. The ACCC is urging consumers to immediately stop using recalled models and check the ACCC Product Safety website to see if their device is affected. There have been 76 incident reports for the Baseus 65W 30000mAh power bank, including four fires and multiple cases of property damage. Picture: Shenzhen Baseus Technology Co. 'Consumers who own a recalled power bank shouldn't be concerned about being left out of pocket,' Ms Lowe said. 'Suppliers are offering a full refund or free replacement under these recalls.' She also reminded users to take care with any lithium-ion battery device, including never charging them on flammable surfaces like beds or sofas, avoiding damaged, swollen or leaking devices, using the correct charger and storing devices in a cool, dry place, and setting reminders to unplug once charging is complete. Lithium-ion batteries, commonly used in phones, laptops, e-bikes and scooters, are known to be volatile if damaged or improperly charged.
