The best Prime Day home security camera deals that made me wish I'd waited
Protect your home for the lowest price possible
There are still stacks of the best Prime Day deals to be had, and when I saw the substantial savings on some of the best home security cameras, it made me wish I'd waited to build my home security camera system.
The EufyCam 2C 2-Cam Kit has been discounted from $219.99 to $149.99 – its lowest price ever – and in the UK it's also been reduced from £229.99 to £149.99. If I'd waited until now to grab a home security camera kit, I'd have saved myself $350 / £400 by opting for the EufyCam 2C 2-camera kit over my current Arlo Pro 3 set-up.
Home security cameras are a great way to check in on your property when you're not there. If the camera detects motion in its field of view, it will send a notification to your smartphone. You can log in and view a live real feed from the camera using the app at any time too – a feature I often use if strange noises disturb my sleep so I can drift back off safe in the knowledge intruders aren't trying to access my home.
There are other stand-out deals we've spotted in the Prime Day deals. The Blink Mini – a compact indoor camera – has also been reduced to its lowest ever price of $19.99, while in the UK it's priced at £21.99. You can also pick up the Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight, which combines a home security camera with a powerful 3,000 lumens floodlight - the equivalent to 200w for just $179.99 ($239.99) in the US and £169.49 in UK, down from £259.99.
