Amazon is getting a head start on its upcoming October Prime Day sale (scheduled for October 7–8) by releasing early deals right now. While I'm usually not impressed with its early offers, I advise waiting for the official sale; Amazon's device deals are very good.

The retailer is offering up to 63% its best-selling devices, with new record-low prices starting at just $17.99. You can find discounts on everything from popular Fire TV Sticks, all-new Blink security cameras, Ring Doorbells, and top-rated 4K and QLED Fire TVs.

As TechRadar's deals editor who's always shopping for the best of the best Amazon smart home gadgets, I've listed Amazon's 17 best device deals that I'd buy with my own money.

My must-have gadgets include the Blink Mini 2 security camera, on sale for a must-have price at just $19.99, and the all-new Blink Video Doorbell on sale for only $34.99.

If you're looking for outdoor security, Amazon has a massive 61% discount on the popular Blink Outdoor Camera, down to $74.99, and the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus, on sale for its lowest price ever of $89.99.

Other deals in my cart include the Fire TV Stick HD for only $17.99 and this Insignia 50-inch 4K Fire TV on sale for an incredible price of $179.99.

Keep in mind that most of today's early Prime Day deals are on sale for the lowest-ever prices, and I can't imagine you'll find bigger discounts at Amazon's official October Prime Day sale.
