The Best Smart Home Security Deals for February 2024

Home security is no longer the exclusive domain of reclusive billionaires with CCTV setups monitoring their estate. With today’s smart homes, it’s cheap and easy to add a camera or two (or more) that reports back to your Amazon, Google or Apple device. Motion-sensing, night vision, AI-powered object and human detection, and more come standard on most of these devices. Right now we’ve got serious price drops on hardware from most of the major manufacturers. Check them out below…

Many modern security systems require a subscription to access the videos your cameras record beyond a certain amount of time, and others require a hub system to control the cameras, but all should allow you to access your video feeds in real time via your phone, computer or other smart display. We also like cameras that allow for two-way audio interaction with whoever’s on the other side of the lens, and having a spotlight function is a nice option as well. The main choice you’ll need to make with your smart doorbell is whether or not you want a wired or wireless option; from there, cameras and detection features will vary. 

Security Camera Deals

Blink Mini Indoor Security Camera (2-Pack)

$49.99 at Amazon
$64.99 Save $15.00

Get Deal

These indoor cameras are inexpensive but reliable, and in our review we called the Blink Mini “a fine choice if you want to monitor the inside of your home without spending a bundle.” Capturing 1080p video with motion detection and uploading the footage to the cloud or to a Sync Module (sold separately), they are unobtrusive enough to place anywhere. Two-way microphone and speaker let you use it as an intercom as well, and since it’s an Amazon product it connects effortlessly to Alexa-enabled smart speakers and displays.

Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera (3-Pack)

2K video with a built-in spotlight to illuminate your dark corners

$347.50 at Amazon
$549.99 Save $202.49

Get Deal

Arlo outdoor cameras give you better connectivity without needing to set up a hub. You also get a wider field of view, better camera quality (2K resolution), and they’re rechargeable (instead of requiring non-rechargeable lithium batteries). These also add a spotlight function so you can illuminate things at night while speaking through the camera’s two-way audio function. You do need to pay for a monthly subscription to access recordings, but for viewing in real-time you can stream the feed through Alexa, Google, Apple HomeKit or Samsung’s SmartThings interfaces. 

EufyCam 1080p Security Camera (2-Pack)

Save $90 on a dual-camera setup that will cover a lot of ground, day or night

$149.99 at Amazon
$239.99 Save $90.00

Get Deal

For a few more bucks than the Blinks on this list, Eufy gives you more features and flexibility for your home security setup. They’re rechargeable, for one, and between the full field of view, infrared night vision, and 1080p resolution, the footage you get is pretty detailed. They also deliver smart notifications like motion alerts that can tell the difference between the neighborhood cat and a delivery driver arriving at your doorstep (and with two-way audio you can interact with them as well). This package also includes a home hub for months of video storage with no monthly fee.

Video Doorbell Deals

Blink Video Doorbell With Sync Module 2

Reliable doorway coverage with some nice added features

$69.99 at Amazon
$94.98 Save $24.99

Get Deal

For houses that have Blink cameras and Echo smart displays set up already, this is a simple way to add a low-priced doorbell camera to your coverage. You can hardwire it to an existing doorbell switch or go wireless, making for an easy addition to a home security system. Users can pay a monthly fee to store and access videos in the cloud, but to record video locally you can plug a USB drive into the Sync Module (included with this purchase). Read our full review to learn even more.

Arlo Essential Wired HD Video Doorbell

Great field of view and no power worries at a captivating price

$49.99 at Amazon
$149.99 Save $100.00

Get Deal

This Arlo camera gives you a huge head-to-toe field of view, HD video, two-way audio and no worries about replacing the battery once you get this hard-wired video doorbell installed. The Arlo Foresight system lets you see what happens in the seconds before an alert is triggered, giving you a full view of what’s going on, and the 1:1 aspect ratio is better tailored for use on your phone instead of a fixed smart display. Read our review to learn more.  A subscription to Arlo Secure adds 30 days of cloud recordings in 4K resolution plus some other nice extras like emergency response and smoke/CO detector alarm connectivity. 

Eufy Security 2K Wi-Fi Video Doorbell With Wireless Chime

A budget option for front door surveillance with some nice quality

$69.92 at Amazon
$99.99 Save $30.07

Get Deal

For the price, this Eufy sits in the sweet spot between the Blink and Arlo hardware. It’s a wired device so there’s a bit of initial setup, but once that’s done users have a camera with 2K resolution and HDR imaging for better images in low-light situations. You also get a 4:3 aspect ratio (not quite the 1:1 of the Arlo, but an improvement over 16:9 when it comes to phone usage). There’s also smart detection zone setup available and pre-set responses can be programmed, but like other Eufy devices, the best part is the lack of a monthly subscription required for full use of the device.
