  "account": "Amazon's Ring has upgraded its innovative Peephole Cam with a 2K resolution, now available for pre-order starting at $99. First launched in 2019, the Ring Peephole Cam was later discontinued, disappointing fans who appreciated its distinct design. Unlike other battery-powered smart doorbells and cameras, the Peephole Cam's unique feature replaces the physical peephole, making it renter-friendly without needing any additional drilling.\n\nThe upgraded Ring Peephole Cam 2K offers enhanced resolution and a sleeker design, available in three colors – Speckled Gray, Speckled White, and Matte Mocha. The latter two colors come with a $10 extra cost. Battery life is impressive, lasting up to 120 days, and the removable battery pack makes recharging straightforward. The $99 camera is now available for pre-order on the Ring website and Amazon, with shipping beginning on August 19.",
