Surveillance cameras bring with them a certain peace of mind — they make it easy keep an eye on what’s happening at your house while you’re on vacation, or ensure your child is doing okay with the new baby sitter. Unfortunately, many are still under the impression that you have to have a full-on “smart home” to enjoy those benefits, but that’s no longer the case. There are now dozens of home surveillance cameras that you can set up independently, including this one from Stem Innovations called Izon.

We first took a look at the Izon back in 2011, but the home camera has evolved a lot since then. The company has two new home surveillance cameras, both of which support iOS and Android devices. The Izon View is the more expensive of the two, but it costs only $100. The View has night vision, thanks to IR LEDs on the front of the device, and can tilt and swivel to look into every corner of the room. You can mount it on almost any flat surface, including the ceiling. All you need is a Wi-Fi network and the companion app.

For those of you who want a less fancy, but still effective home surveillance camera, Izon offers the Izon 2.0 for just $80. It doesn’t have night vision, but it has most of the same features and syncs with the app.

Izon says the Android app will hit the Google Play Store just in time for Black Friday. To promote its new cameras and Android app, Izon will offer a Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal that lets Android users buy one Izon camera and get a second one free. That way, you can monitor multiple rooms at the same time. Both cameras are available on the company’s website.

Should you buy a security camera on Black Friday 2021?

Black Friday is just around the corner, but unlike previous years, the Black Friday deals have already begun. The Black Friday shopping period started in October as part of an effort to keep crowds to a minimum in the ongoing pandemic, but that's good news for shoppers. Now is a great time to buy a security camera, especially if you plan to do a lot of holiday shopping and want to combat porch piracy.

Lorex has the Black Friday smart home security deals you need

When it comes to smart home tech, it's best to buy from a single provider, or as much as you can. That reduces how many different apps you'll have to access and deal with, especially if you're planning to outfit your entire home. Unfortunately, that's not always possible, as some offer smart lighting solutions, others smart security, and still, others various smart home products. It's very easy to end up with a piecemeal configuration, loads of apps and services to deal with, and plenty of hassle. When it comes to smart home security, Lorex offers an excellent and varied selection of products from video doorbells to complete analog IP camera systems. Even better, they're offering some amazing pre-Black Friday deals, so you can get everything you need at fantastically-low prices.

From now until November 21st, you'll get 35% off sitewide when you use coupon code PREBF2021 at Lorex. We'll dive into some of the best deals available below, but just to provide an example, Lorex's wired 2K Wi-Fi Video Doorbell with Person Detection
is $150 thanks to that offer, normally $180. Alternatively, the Lorex 2K Wire-Free Battery-Operated Security System
-- which includes 2 cameras -- is $250, normally $300. Indeed, those are awesome deals! You can check those out below, or keep reading for some more info!
