Turkey day might still be a week away, but the Black Friday sales are already starting to roll in. And some of the best offerings on everything from tech to home goods to appliances are available on Amazon right now.
One great deal is on the Arlo Essential Video Doorbell which normally goes for $130, but is currently on sale for only $30. At $100 off, you’re basically losing money if you don’t take advantage of this deal.
Arlo Essential Video Doorbell, $30 (was $130) at Amazon
Video doorbells have become increasingly popular not only for their convenience, but their security features as well. This one gives you a great sight range with a 180-degree view, which means you can see everything from a package on the ground to someone’s face when standing. It also has night vision, which allows you to get a clear recording even when it’s dark out.
This doorbell helps you keep an eye on your home even when you are away, giving you alerts when there is movement by the door, as well as allowing you to receive calls from the doorbell and respond to visitors either by two-way audio or pre-recorded responses. “The video is wonderfully clear, as is the sound,” said one shopper. “I linked the Arlo to my smart hub and to my smart speakers and displays. I get a clear ‘There’s someone at the front door’ every time the button is pushed.”
When the camera detects movement, it also records automatically so you can look back to see what triggered it later. “The app notifies you of any movement within about 6 to 10 seconds,” said one shopper. “Once on the app you’ll be able to view the video clip. The Arlo app also allows you to customize zones that you want to be notified of when something enters that zone.” This feature is great for narrowing down your notifications, and avoiding an alert every time a car drives by.
This doorbell is on sale now for Black Friday, but we can’t be sure that it will stay in stock or that the price won’t rise again, so shop quickly before the sale drops! As an added bonus, if you install it before Christmas, you might even catch a glimpse of Santa himself.
