Amazon early Prime Day deal slashes $150 off Nest 3-pack security camera

Image used with permission by copyright holder

When it comes to your family’s security, no expenses should be spared (although a good discount doesn’t hurt). Whether you’re concerned about theft or trespassing, want to check in on a family member, or keep an eye on a wayward pet, security cameras help provide peace of mind. There are a lot of options to choose from, but home security cameras do come at a hefty price.

Leading up to the Amazon Prime Day event, there are plenty of smart home deals on home security cameras to be found. Amazon has taken a massive $150 off its 3-pack Nest Security Indoor Camera, bringing the price

from $497 down to an amazing $347

.

With the Nest Cam Indoor, you get 24/7 live streaming of your home through the Nest app – even when you’re out. You can receive alerts whenever the camera detects movement and activity. Coolest of all, the Nest Cam can tell the difference between movement from someone looking into the fridge and a person entering a room. Person alerts and Activity alerts can help make you feel at ease even if you aren’t at home.

The Nest Cam’s picture quality is superb at 1080p HD, and it also features night vision. With the Nest Aware, you can add 24/7 continuous recording using cloud storage for 10 or 30 days. You can also review photos for any activity from the most recent 3 hours using Sightline for free, and speed through days of footage to quickly find key moments.

The Nest Cam Indoor works with Alexa and features two-way audio. You can hear what’s happening and let a stranger know you’re paying attention, or simply tell a dog to remove itself from the couch.

Setting it up is fairly easy. The Nest Cam is compact and has a built­-in magnet that helps it stick to all types of surfaces, including metal. You can also opt to use the removable wall plate to attach Nest Cam to a wall, or you can unscrew the camera from the base and attach it to any standard tripod mount.

With all these incredible features, the Nest Cam does come with one hitch. Amazon users have pointed out that although the camera itself is outstanding, once the 30-day subscription period has expired, you need to pay a monthly fee in order for the camera to continue working. But the 3-pack Nest Security Indoor Camera on Amazon is still quite a deal at $347.

If you’re looking for more affordable home security cameras that are under $100, you might want to check out these deals.

Amazon’s futuristic Astro security robot is 21% off right now
Amazon Astro robot.

If you don't think investing in security camera deals is enough to give you peace of mind, then you may want to consider buying the Amazon Astro. This mobile security robot, originally sold for $2,350, is on sale from Amazon with a $500 discount that lowers its price to $1,850. It's fairly expensive even at 21% off, but if you're willing to pay for it, you'll be getting an all-around solution for the protection of your home or business. You need to act fast for your purchase though, as the bargain may end sooner than you think.

Why you should buy the Amazon Astro mobile security robot
Compared to security cameras that are installed at fixed points, the Amazon Astro can roll through your home or business to cover up to 5,000 square feet with its HD night vision periscope camera. You'll be able to use the Astro app to access the mobile security robot's camera with a live view, control its movements, and communicate with people it bumps into with a two-way talk function. It comes with a 30-day trial of Astro Secure and Ring Protect Pro subscriptions, which will allow you to schedule and customize the Amazon Astro's patrolling routes, and receive alerts when it sees an unknown person or hears sound such as breaking glass. Ring Protect Pro will also get the robot to move to the location of a triggered Ring Alarm, if you have the security system installed.

The holidays, while wonderful, are also a weird time for most people. Either you're traveling, maybe even to a distant relative's home, others are traveling to you, or you're doing holiday-themed things like shopping, sledding, enjoying the cool weather, or any number of winterific activities. If your schedule is full, and we hope it is, you'll be spending a lot of time away from your own home, which means now's a great time to start thinking about security. Crimes tend to increase during the holidays, and between robberies, larcenies, and package theft, there's a lot to consider. Even if you're home, these nefarious events can and do happen.

But one of the better ways to protect yourself, your property, and your family is to install some surveillance and smart home security devices. A key feature is the option to connect remotely and watch or interact with live video feeds, like conversing with a home lawn service rep via two-way audio or asking the package courier to drop your delivery in a specific place. Reolink is your ticket to peace of mind this holiday season, with incredible deals on security devices and some useful tips that can help protect what's yours.

Why you should buy the Anker Solix C1000 portable power station
The Anker SOLIX C1000 portable power station offers a 1,056-watt-hour capacity and 1,800 watts of output. It has 11 ports in total, including AC, DC, and USB. Plus, you can double its capacity to 2,112 watt-hours with an expansion battery or recharge it quickly in just 58 minutes while using the UltraFast Mode in Anker's mobile app. Yes, that also means it offers mobile app connectivity and controls.

But what is it? It can be used as a versatile portable power station, whether to get power on the spot -- like when you're off-grid -- or to use as a backup like a UPS, with a less than 20ms switchover in an outage. It even supports up to 600 watts of solar input, so you can connect solar panels and charge them using the sun's fully available energy. Renewable energy truly gets you off the power grid if that's something you're looking to achieve.
