Best Prime Day 2025 deals on security cameras and video doorbells

Amazon Prime Day 2025 is underway, and we’ve spotted dozens of fantastic deals on the hottest home security cameras, video doorbells, and floodlight cameras.

You’ll have from now to Friday, July 11 to land one of these deals–assuming inventories hold out. Just remember that you’ll need an Amazon Prime subscription to bag the best deals.

I oversee all of TechHive’s smart home and home security coverage, and I personally review a lot of cameras and doorbells myself, so I’m very knowledgeable about the state of the market and what constitutes a good deal; you can count on me to point you in the right direction.

These deals are arranged into three groups: Indoor cameras, outdoor cameras, and floodlight cameras. Within those groupings, the deals are listed in alphabetical order by manufacturer, with a few key specs and finally the sale price.

Best Prime Day deals on indoor security cameras

Best Prime Day deals on outdoor security cameras

My top picks:

The Blink Outdoor 4 is an exceptionally good outdoor security camera that will run for a year or more on a pair of lithium batteries. And when you bundle it with the Blink Sync XR, you get local storage that largely eliminates the need for a cloud subscription.

The Ring Outdoor Cam (aka the Ring Stick Up Cam) usually costs $80 each, so $150 for a 3-pack of these indoor/outdoor cameras is a fantastic value. You will want a Ring Home subscription if you settle on Ring security cameras, however, because there’s no local storage option (well, it’s optional if you also own a Ring Alarm Pro home security system, but you’d want a sub with that, too). A Ring Home Standard plan will cover all your Ring cameras and offer some other benefits at a cost of $10 per month ($100 per year).

Best Prime Day deals on floodlight cameras

My top picks:

The Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera is a fabulous solution if the spot where you want to mount it lacks the electrical wiring that most other floodlight cameras depend on. This bundle with the Blink Sync Module 2 significantly reduces the need to pay for one of Blink’s subscription plans, which cost $10 per month or $100 per year.

If you have other Arlo cameras and are paying for an Arlo Secure Plan, the Arlo Wired Floodlight Camera is a terrific home security solution that can replace the outdoor fixture next to your entry doors. But Arlo has one of the more expensive subscription plans at $8 per month for a single camera ($18/mo for unlimited cameras), and those are billed annually. Arlo also offers a complete home security system.

Ring’s security cameras, including its floodlight cameras, also work best with a subscription, but the Ring ecosystem includes other smart lighting products in addition to a complete home security system in the Ring Alarm series. The Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus is a fabulous deal at $100.

Best Prime Day deals on video doorbells

My top picks:

We’ve only just received the new 2nd-generation Blink Video Doorbell for review, but we found to previous model to be a great value in the budget category, and you can’t beat this half-price deal that includes the required Blink Sync Module. But if you already have either a Sync Module or the newer Sync Module XR, Amazon is selling the Blink Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) by itself for $29.99.

The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus can operate on either battery power or low-voltage AC, and it delivers a head-to-toe view of your visitors. We don’t know when you’ll find it for almost half price again, but with the tariff situation, we’re guessing it won’t be anytime soon.

While the Tapo D225 Video Doorbell Camera isn’t the most beautiful device you can mount next to your door, we deemed it a terrific value at its full price of $100. So, it’s a no-brainer at 20 percent off, especially when you consider that it can run on wired or battery power, and it has a microSD card slot that can store up to 512GB of video recordings—no subscription needed.

Frequently asked questions about buying security cameras

1.

What type of security camera should I buy?

First, consider where you intend to set up the camera. Indoor cameras are a no-go if they’re going to be exposed to the elements. While you can set an indoor camera on a window sill and aim it into your yard, you’ll run into problems with glare and/or reflections. A floodlight camera will provide both video security and a wide pool of light. Video doorbells are, of course, the perfect solution for keeping an eye out for visitors—and porch pirates!

2.

How much resolution do I need in a security camera?

The higher the camera’s video resolution, the more detail it will capture about things such as faces, license plate numbers, clothing, and other bits that can be used as forensic evidence. Consider 1080p to be the absolute minimum but know that a camera that touts its 2K resolution doesn’t offer twice as much resolution.

A 1080p spec usually means the camera captures 1920 x 1080 pixels. 2K usually means the camera will capture 2560 x 1440 pixels. So, you will see more detail with a 2K camera compared to a 1080p model, but it won’t be that significant–the difference is an increase of only 640 x 360 pixels, after all. On the other hand, a 2K camera might offer lots of desirable features in addition to higher resolution. If you’re shopping for a video doorbell, you’ll also want to consider the camera’s aspect ratio. A video doorbell with a 1:1 aspect ratio can provide head-to-toe views of the visitors on your porch.

3.

Are pan/tilt cameras better than stationary models?

Where stationary cameras focus on a single area of your room or yard, a pan/tilt model can cover more than twice as much real estate. This isn’t an option with video doorbells, but lots of indoor, outdoor, and even floodlight cameras have pan/tilt motors that can move the camera’s lens nearly 360 degrees left and right and up to 180 degrees up and down.

Some models leave this positioning up to you and the camera’s app, but others can track an object or person moving in the camera’s field of view and automatically pan and tilt the lens to keep them in frame.

4.

Should I pay for a subscription for the security camera I choose?

Smart home dwellers have a love/hate relationship with subscriptions. On the one hand, you often can’t unlock all the most powerful features of many cameras without ponying up for a subscription, because those features depend on a connection to the cloud—and not just for storing the camera’s video recordings. On the other hand, you’
