Our household switched energy companies a few months back, with the promise that a few bucks extra each month would go toward a more eco-friendly energy source … and that we’d get a free home security system.
That home system ended up being a single blurry camera with no night vision that was triggered by passing cars and wind blowing through trees.
Moral of the story: You need to invest in your home security. And based on the deals going around this week, you should be able to score a camera system that offers high-quality video, two-way audio and compatibility with your smart home.
A few current deals:

eufy Security
An Amazon Deal of the Day, this smart, battery-powered system (with a 180-day charge) brings you 2K video, two-way audio, an AI that’ll identify humans and reduce false alerts, and video that’s encrypted and stored on a home server (so you have no monthly fees). Note: The deal only last until the end of day.

Arlo Ultra
If you want more than the basics, the Ultra is a wirelesa, weather-resistant, 4K camera system with color night vision, 180 degree views, a spotlight, a siren and two-way audio. Multiple configurations are available, but the two-camera system is $150 off.

Google Nest
A two-camera, weatherproof system that offers 24/7 live video, a 130 degree wide-angle view and 1080p HD night vision. And the magnetic mounts you can place the cams anywhere pretty easily.

Ring Video Doorbell
The most straight-forward camera system basically lets you know who’s at the door (which you can see on your phone, tablet or computer). Pairs with Alexa and comes with a free Echo Dot.

Ring Spotlight Cam
A more advanced take on the video doorbell, this security system can be set up anywhere around the house and provide HD video, two-way audio and a remote-activated siren. Comes with a free Echo Show.
