Blink'slatest Outdoor model keeps everything great about this compact camera while improving features like the resolution and two-way audio. Setup is particularly simple and a Wi-Fi hub is included along with the cam. I really like this model as an all-purpose home security camera with an excellent app: If you can find a place to screw in a small mount, you can use this cam -- and the batteries can last for up to two years before needing a replacement.

Eufy cameras offer strong specs like this model's 2K resolution, night vision, and pan/tilt with motion tracking. It also offers free object detection and an object to enable onboard storage with a microSD card so you don't have to worry about subscription fees. It would makea great nanny cam deal.

We love Arlo'shigh-end cams, but they're too expensive for many buyers. The 2nd-gen Essential 2K cam is a perfect substitute for saving money while getting those excellent Arlo features, and with this deal you can save even more, making it one of our favorite security cam picks of the sale. This model is especially durable for all kinds of outdoor weather and includes a spotlight as well as other smart bells and whistles. Just keep in mind you may need to get an Arlo subscription to unlock everything.

Kasa is an excellent brand for extra cheap security cameras that don't disappoint. This HD model has pan/tilt features and object tracking for a 360-degree look around your home. It also includes important extras like night vision, two-way audio and support for both Alexa and Google Home. If you want to buy a microSD card, you don't even have to worry about paying for video storage.

If an indoor cam is a little too restrictive for you but you long for a cheap, cheap budget model, the Tapo C120 is here with an excellent 2K resolution and indoor/outdoor capabilities. You get two-way audio, color night vision and totally free person/pet/vehicle detection. Also, with the microSD card slot, there's no need to pay a subscription for video storage.

Blink's doorbell frequently makes our recommendations for a great cheap video doorbell, but I don't think I've ever seen it quite this cheap! If you've been wanting a video doorbell but don't have a lot of money to spend on one, this is your best choice. Blink's model includes important features like two-way audio, chime alerts, motion detection, live viewing from the app and Alexa compatibility. You will need to add a subscription for online video storage, but this model comes with a Sync hub for local storage for free.

Ring's updated battery doorbell is an all-around solid pick. It now features a bigger head-to-toe video view, Ring's smart alerts, and Alexa greetings (it may even get Alexa Plus features in the future). Two-way audio and other important doorbell capabilities are also included. I like how Ring switched to a more straightforward charging port directly on the doorbell itself for this mode.

Ring's outdoor cam is ready for action and includes valuable features like color night vision, two-way audio, motion alerts and more. This discounted model is a battery version, too, so you can move it around to get the best angles or bring it inside if necessary. While Alexa is supported, you'll need a subscription for cloud video storage.

For home security on a budget, Blink has a whole bundle with an all-purpose Blink Outdoor 4, Blink Mini 2 and a Blink Video Doorbell. That's a lot of video coverage for the price, all from the very intuitive Blink app. Also, the bundle includes the Sync Module Core to connect everything to Wi-Fi and save on battery life. The doorbell and Outdoor cam run on AA lithium batteries, which are rated for up to two years of use.

This Arlo Essential cam is excellent if you want high-end features for a more affordable price -- now even better with this deal, which offers three cameras for the same price as one pricey camera (like the Google Nest Cam, for example). The 2K resolution, wireless design, outdoor weather resistance and color night vision are all excellent here. You will need a subscription for video storage or Arlo's highly advanced custom objection detection.

Two sensors may not seem like a lot for a security system, but Arlo's kit ranks high on my suggestions for renters and anyone who wants an effective, minimalist system with great app controls. The secret is those sensors house eight different functions, from sensing motion and open/close situations to monitoring temperature, CO levels and even water leaks. Put them wherever you have an issue you want to target. The keypad has multiple disarm options, and you can include a fob that works with Arlo's doorbell, too.

SimpliSafe is one of the most DIY-friendly security systems, and this eight-piece kit is an ideal way to get started with a hub, keypad, four access sensors, a motion detector and more. You can set it up in an afternoon and get reliable security for years on your own terms (although a self-monitoring plan is highly recommended). SimpliSafe's systems work with both Alexa and Google voice assistants.

Ring's system is easy to set up and easy to expand if you ever want to add any more Ring products like a security camera, etc. This Alexa-friendly system includes four contact sensors, a motion detect, a keypad and even a range extender. You can add professional monitoring, but it's not neccesary to use this system.

Yale's Assure lock is rugged and powerful, with Wi-Fi capabilities built in and control via the Yale App or Apple Watch.

Aqara's smart lockhas a huge number of control options, from geofencing to working with Apple Home or Bluetooth proximity (with more features added using an Aqara hub). It's also sturdy, responsive and has great fingerprint capabilities. If you need a smart lock, it's currently one of our favorites and it's now on sale.

August has updated it's retrofit smart lock (that means you don't have to remove the full deadbolt during installation) a number of times, slowly reducing its bulk and making the lock easier to use. The result is this 4th-generation lock that's more compact than ever and won't present any DIY installation problems. August's app is very user friendly, and provides features like digital passes, autolocking, remote control and voice assistant compatibility with Alexa, Google, Siri and more.

This complete lock set lets you reinvent your front door, adding a smart deadbolt and stylish handles inside and out.

The lock is made to fit standard front doors.

Lockly's snappy smart design has an advanced touch keypad and fingerprint sensor with a lever lock design (hey, not everyone has a deadbolt). That makes for a versatile and extra-smart lock that also works with Google and Amazon controls.

This little security kit is ideal for travelers. It has a portable door lock mechanism and a siren-based doorstop to instantly add protection to any room that you're in. At this low price, that's a great addition to your travel kit. This is a Prime exclusive deal.

On its own, this keypad acts a lot like a video doorbell for your garage, and it's compatible with many common garage door brands for code access.

In tandem with Black Friday, Abode is holding one of its many sales with a bigger discount than usual, for up to 70% off various security kits That's an especially good deal considering Abode's base systems can be a little pricey, so seeing something like the starter smart security kit drop from $160 to $80 or the five-piece bundle currently at $180 is very promising. If you add an annual Standard or Pro Plan to your purchase, you will also get a free camera.

Abode excels at third-party smart home support, making it one of the best options for those who have a variety of smart home devices already but want to add security.
