Ring’s NFL Game Day Cam Cover Gives Your Indoor Camera a $24.99 Team Makeover

Ring is giving its indoor security cameras a little game-day cosplay with the new NFL Game Day Cam Cover, a $24.99 snap-on accessory shaped like a miniature football helmet. Available in designs for all 32 NFL teams, the officially licensed cover is for fans who’d rather not leave their smart-home gear looking quite so anonymous during football season. Preorders open today on Amazon and Ring, just as the 2026-2027 NFL season gets underway. It works with select indoor Ring cameras, installs without tools, and is designed not to interfere with the camera’s everyday functions.

The All-New Ring Battery Doorbell Plus Offers Significant Battery and Field of View Improvements

Eight years ago, I reviewed the Ring Video Doorbell. This was such a new product category at the time that I wrote, “knowing who’s standing at your door when you are or aren’t at home is a pretty handy superpower.” Honestly, I still think that’s true. The all-new Ring Battery Doorbell Plus is the brand’s most significant update to its battery doorbell lineup yet, and one of the features being touted is battery life that can last up to three times longer than that first-gen Ring Video Doorbell I reviewed, but that’s just the start.

Ring Floodlight Cam Delivers Serious DIY Protection

When we replaced our front door over a year ago, I purchased a Ring Doorbell; I love it. I love knowing who is there, being able to “answer” the door while away from the house, and the extra sense of security it gives me.
