Rising above the field is the mighty Arlo Pro 4. Where can we start on why it’s a home security camera you should buy on Prime Day? To begin with, the specs sheet is littered with many notable standouts — like crisp 2K video resolution, color night vision, water-resistant construction, and a spotlight that turns on when motion is detected. What’s notable about this iteration compared to its predecessors is that it no longer requires a separate hub to work. In fact, it’s now truly a wireless camera in the sense that it connects to Wi-Fi and features a rechargeable battery.

Tight budget for Prime Day? Well now, you should keep an eye out for the Wyze Cam V3. Already considered an ultra-affordable camera, it’s still packed with useful features like local storage, 1080p video capture, and motion detection zones. It makes for a reliable indoor camera because it can be fastened onto walls and flat surfaces with its included mounting bracket, but it’s been designed with a water-resistant construction to make it work double duty as an outdoor camera as well.

Logitech Circle View

There have been few Apple HomeKit compatible home security cameras, but the Logitech Circle View is the one you’ll want to keep an eye on for Prime Day. That’s because it takes privacy more seriously than other cams on the market. In particular, HomeKit Secure Video ensures that recorded footage is encrypted to your iCloud account. Even better, you don’t need to download additional apps or set up an account because you simply use Apple’s own Home app to do everything from setting it up to viewing a live stream. There’s also a button on the back of the camera that cuts the audio and video if you’re paranoid that someone could still be watching you from the other side.

Ring has a deep selection of cameras, but the Ring Smart Lighting Solar Floodlight is a worthy consideration. For starters, its versatile and bright floodlight can instantly stop any unwanted guest on your property from proceeding further because it can detect motion. It produces up to 1,200 lumens of white light, which should be plenty to scare away would-be intruders. Besides that, its rechargeable battery can easily be charged using a solar panel, which comes in handy because it negates the need to take the camera down from its perch each time the battery runs out.

Which Amazon Echo should you buy on Prime Day 2022? 
Echo Show 15 with base.

There was a time when it was easy to choose which Amazon Echo device to buy because there wasn’t much of a selection. These days, Amazon has an entire stable of devices ready to respond and carry out your commands. That makes things a bit trickier for those who are looking to pick up their first (or add another) Echo device among Prime Day Amazon Echo deals. You can also review some of the best deals year round.

We’ve tested and tried each Echo device to find the best of the lot. This year, we think it’s the Echo Show 10. With its high-quality 360-degree speaker, a large screen, and the ability to pan around the room to double as a security camera or video conferencing dynamo, it’s a great all-around choice. Even so, depending on how you want to use an Echo Show and how much space you have, there’s certainly a case to be made for other Echo devices.

This South Korean smart home hack is one more reason you should secure your home
Alexa listening indicator.

While most Americans were trying to take advantage of Black Friday sales last weekend, hackers in South Korea pulled off what is perhaps the most damaging hack in smart home history. The as-yet-unidentified hackers recorded photo and video from more than 700 different apartment complexes and held it ransom or sold it outright for Bitcoin.

The entire incident is the stuff of nightmares -- the realization of fears about the smart home industry and what it means to allow cameras and other recording devices into the home without sufficient safeguards in place.
