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. You’ll want one of Blink’s Sync modules to go along with the camera (the Sync Module Core, Sync Module 2, or Sync Module XR). The latter two include provisions for local storage of all your Blink cameras’ video recordings (up to 10 cameras are supported). The Sync Module XR also enables longer wireless range for up to four Blink Outdoor 4 cameras.

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.

Reolink’s floodlight cam is unique in that it’s equipped with dual cameras that capture a panoramic view of the scene in front of them. The same camera is also available in a PoE (power-over-ethernet) version for $125.99 (30% off at Amazon) if your home network can take advantage of that feature in which power and data travel over the same ethernet cable.

Ring’s security cameras, including its floodlight cameras, 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 Core. But if you already have a Sync Module Core, a Sync Module 2, or the 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.

AOSU isn’t a top-of-mind brand, but we really like the AOSU Video Doorbell Ultra, which boasts a high-resolution camera, and it comes with a Wi-Fi bridge with 8GB of memory for storing video clips (unfortunately, that storage is not upgradeable, but you can sign up for a storage in the cloud if you’d like).

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.

What brand of security camera should I buy

We’re covering all the major brands here, but your best option is to buy into one brand and stay in that brand’s ecosystem; otherwise, you’ll find yourself juggling with apps and getting notifications from different brands. You also don’t want to end up paying for multiple subscriptions for services such as cloud storage, or buying multiple types of network storage. As product reviewers, we must evaluate everything, and it can be painful to manage our home environments as a result.
