The battery-powered model saves clips to micro SD cards to cut ongoing costs.

Overview

  • Newly available in Aldi’s middle aisle, the device is sold in-store only at £16.99.
  • Footage records at 480p and stores locally on micro SD cards up to 32GB, avoiding monthly cloud fees.
  • Core functions include two-way talk, motion detection, night vision, water resistance and a rechargeable battery.
  • Reported comparisons show rivals cost more upfront and require subscriptions, with Ring retaining cloud history for up to 180 days.
