Maybe it's because people are becoming more privacy-conscious these days, but everyone seems to be doubling down on surveillance systems for their homes and vehicles. If you haven’t seen that dash cam video of the staged car crash scam, you really should — it's definitely a wake-up call for the need to document everything.
These gadgets also make great gifts for the security-conscious folks in your life. A couple of years ago, I bought my parents a video doorbell, and they love checking to see if someone’s turning around in their drive and the animals scurrying through their yard whenever they’re out of town. (I named their local raccoon Little King Trashmouth, IYKYK.)
Now, Amazon has deals with top brands like Blink, Arlo, Google Nest, and TP-Link Tapo.
Here are a few to keep an eye on:
Best security camera deal overall
Why we like it
If you’re looking for a home security camera that offers great image quality, motion detection, and a budget-friendly price, the Blink Outdoor 4 [Newest Model] is a solid choice.
Right now, you can get this wireless outdoor/indoor home security camera system (it comes with three cameras) for just $99.99 — that’s 62% off the list price and the lowest price we’ve seen on this camera to date.
This home security system lets you see every camera from your phone in 1080p HD live view. It also has night vision and two-way audio to talk to visitors or scare off would-be burglars.
