Although Prime Day has not yet officially arrived, some early Prime Day deals have already begun to roll in. The event officially starts on October 13, but if you’re in the market for something and see a great deal, go ahead and snag it. Products are likely to sell out quickly, especially on the really great Prime Day smart home deals.

Amazon has dropped the price of the Arlo Pro 3 home security camera system down to $400 for a total savings of $100. This package includes two wireless security cameras that can be mounted nearly anywhere inside or outside of your home.

The Arlo Pro 3 packs some impressive specs inside a small package. The camera has 2K HDR video, which means you can make out details even in areas of high contrast. Digital zoom makes it possible to zoom in and get a closer look at anything within the frame, and the high resolutions means you can examine things without losing clarity.

If your Arlo Pro 3 picks something up at night, the camera’s color night vision will give you a clear picture of whatever is moving around — and the integrated spotlight lets you illuminate an area and draw attention to any unwanted activity.

With a 160-degree field of view, the Arlo Pro 3 can be easily positioned to cover the widest possible angle.

The cameras are mounted through an easy-to-install magnetic mount. If you decide the camera could perform better in a different location, taking it down and adjusting its position takes only a few minutes of your time.

The cameras are wireless and run off of batteries. A single charge will last between three and six months and it only takes 3.5 hours to fully charge.

You’ll receive alerts of movement and activity through push notifications via which you can sound the alarm, turn on the spotlight, and more. The Arlo Pro 3 even includes features like package detection and up to 30 days of cloud storage.

If you have had your eye on a security camera for your home for a while, now is a great time to buy. The $400 price point nets you two cameras that will help keep your home safer. It’s one of the best Prime Day home security camera deals so far.

Every family will feel safer if their home is protected by security cameras, so if you haven't gotten around to installing some, you may want to take advantage of Best Buy's offer for the Arlo Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera bundle. From the package's original price of $500, it's down to a more affordable $250, but we're not sure for how long. If you want to pocket the savings of $250, you're going to have to hurry with your purchase, especially since security camera deals almost always sell out quickly.

Why you should buy the Arlo Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera bundle
The Arlo Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera bundle comes with three units of the Arlo Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera, which is made by one of the most trusted makers of home security cameras. The wire-free setup and all-weather protection makes it an excellent outdoor security camera, while the 2K resolution, color night vision, and integrated spotlight enable crystal clear footage when you look through them through the Arlo app. You'll get even more out of the Arlo Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera if you sign up for Arlo Secure, which offers various benefits such as 30-day video history saved to the cloud and smart activity zones. The latest update to the subscription, Arlo Secure 5, also recently added AI features that can identify specific people and vehicles.
