You can’t always see everything that’s going on at home—or can you? We’ve all watched or at least heard about those videos posted from Ring cameras featuring individuals (some of them not even human) taking part in a variety of not-so-desirable activities on private properties. And while there aren’t a lot of deals on security cameras right now, a video doorbell is the first step in creating a smart home security network, and a few of those are on sale.

With features like two-way audio, smart assistant compatibility, and the ability to set motion-detection zones and sensitivity, you’ll always be abreast of the events that matter.

This Blink Video Doorbell is certified to work like a new product by the experts at Amazon and carries the same warranty as a new device. It can be mounted using the existing doorbell wiring for the convenience of not having to recharge the battery, or you can set it up wirelessly. Just note that the latter option will require a separate Sync Module.The Blink Video Doorbell gives you two-way audio, motion-detection alerts, and works with other Amazon products like the Echo Show to give you a glimpse of who’s at your door.
Blink products work without a service plan, but you'll need one if you want anything other than live streaming. The Blink Basic Plan activates video recording for a single device for $30 per year, while the Blink Plus Plan costs $100 but applies to all devices in your Blink network.

Another neat feature of this video doorbell is the Delivery Guard, which not only notifies you when you’ve received a package, but alerts you when someone approaches that package. The Eufy Video Doorbell has built-in storage that saves up to 90 days of footage (depending on how much traffic your entryway sees). Also included is a Chime, which can be plugged in inside your home so you can hear the doorbell in rooms further from your front door.

It must be wired and compatibility with both Alexa and Google assistants means you can view your security footage on a larger screen.
The optional Kasa Care is a cloud-based subscription service that enables you to view and download recordings from your camera. Otherwise, this camera is compatible with microSD cards up to 256GB and will record continuously, writing over older footage once the card is full.
