Ring Video Doorbell 2 costs $199 right now on Ring's site and Amazon, while the Chime costs $29.99 on Ring's site and Amazon. And if you look at Ring's various Protect plans, which offer cloud-based video recording, those start at $30.

So, based on their regular prices, you're looking at a bundle valued around $230 to $260. But you can get it from Costco for just $150. The only catch is the deal is a members-only sale, and becoming a Costco member starts at $60 (go here for more details).
Those of you without a Costco membership can also buy Ring Video Doorbell 2 (just the doorbell, and it's refurbished) for $149.99 on deal site UntilGone. Although it's not as sweet of a deal as the discounted bundle at Costco, you'll still save 25 percent on the doorbell alone.
