The 20 best Prime Day home security deals: Ring, Blink, Arlo, and more

Upgrading your home’s security can be expensive. But these indoor and outdoor home security Amazon Prime Day sales can help you save big while adding new smarts to your home security entry, surveillance, and lighting setup.

For example, Amazon has deep discounts — up to 50% or more off — across its lineup of Ring and Blink products. While Blink targets simplicity with its battery-operated, wire-free products, Ring’s line of doorbells and cameras emphasizes cloud connectivity and now includes models that integrate Amazon’s eero mesh Wi-Fi system. 

Not to be left out, popular competitor Arlo — maker of one of our picks for best outdoor security cameras — also has a wide range of home security products on sale. A check of the company’s Amazon listings currently shows discounts (without mention of Prime Day), and the Arlo’s own site touts its annual security event, with savings up to 57% off select products. Eufy and Wyze are also all-in on Prime Day sales, with both companies slashing prices via Amazon and their own sites

FAQs

When is Amazon Prime Day 2024? 

Amazon Prime Day is always held in the middle of the summer. Officially, Prime Day runs July 16 and 17, but sales drop earlier than that and some discounts continue through the week.  

Are home security systems really cheaper on Prime Day? 

Amazon’s mid-summer sale is an excellent time to get deep discounts on doorbells, lighting, cameras, and more. Amazon’s own home security brands Ring and Blink both feature heavily with Prime Day sales, and competitors like Arlo jump in with their own discounts. 

How did we choose these Prime Day deals?

ZDNET writes about deals we want to buy – whether we’re considering devices and products on our wish lists or that fill a specific need. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal shown actually represents a good sale. 

We looked at products on our own best lists as well as surveyed customer reviews to see what matters to real people already using the products we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing – in addition to extensive research, experience and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter. 

Are there different security system deals on Prime Day 2?

It’s hard to say – yes and no. Invite-only Prime deals, also known as Lightning deals, may differ each day. Amazon confirmed last month–> that new deals may surface as often as every five minutes on the site. But, as always, deals only last as long as Amazon decides. Lighting deals offer a countdown to their expiration, and other deals’ longevity depends on how fast products sell out (or don’t). It’s likely that as long as stock remains, many of the deals from Day 1 will remain live for Day 2, including deals on popular Amazon products such as Fire TVs, Kindles, Fire tablets, Echo devices, and more.
