Embarking a weeklong vacation and worried about the safety of your home? Now is the perfect time to

snag this Amazon Cloud Cam Security Camera

from Amazon. You can get this smart home security camera for only $90, which is a sweet $30 drop from its original price of $120.

Ahead of Prime 2019, Amazon has been ramping up great smart home deals. The Amazon Cloud Cam features motion-detection capabilities that will notify you when it senses any activity. Using a Cloud Cam mobile app, checking on your home at any time is a breeze. You can watch live video streams, replay motion alert clips, and download the previous 24 hours of recording for free.

This security cam has ambient light sensors and night vision. Its camera is 60mm in diameter, 42mm in thickness, 104mm in height, and 70mm in base diameter. It also has a field view of 120 degrees for a wider reach. You can even watch footage previews at 1080p in Full HD resolution at up to 30 frames per second.

This cloud cam also boasts a two-way audio function. Its built-in mic can detect specific sounds such as a dog barking, a baby crying, and even the sound of glass breaking. Sounds like these will trigger the camera to notify you that something is happening in your house. The built-in speaker will allow you to say hello to your pets or tell them to stop barking. These features are only available through the Cloud Cam subscription plan.

The Amazon Cloud Cam is also compatible with Alexa. Just ask Alexa if you want to watch the live feed on your Fire Tablet or with your Amazon Echo Show and it will display right away.

Included in the $90 package deal are free access to cloud storage for 24 hours, notifications for general motions that are detected, and unlimited download and sharing of video clips. Although you will need to subscribe to the Cloud Cam plan to unlock its advanced features, like person detection, audio detection, smoke/carbon monoxide alarm, and Intelligent notifications (for customizable notification and filtered alerts).

Additional security is essential for every household, and the Amazon Cloud Cam Security Camera is a great option for this purpose. You better grab this $90 deal from Amazon while it still lasts.

Ring Floodlight Cam is 40% off, and you should totally consider it

If you're looking for the best floodlight cameras for added security, the Ring Floodlight Cam is a great option, especially if you're already in the Amazon ecosystem and can connect your other Amazon devices with the floodlight. If you want to grab one, there's a great Prime Day deal from Amazon that discounts it to $120 from $200, which is pretty substantial and is a great opportunity to grab two or more if you need to cover your whole house.

Why you should buy the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus
The Ring Floodlight Cam Wires Plus is pretty easy to install if you know how to install a light fixture, and it won't take long, assuming you're replacing an existing one. Interestingly enough, the back plate has foam to protect from water intrusion or other elements you'd deal with outside, which is a nice addition and helps avoid having to caulk it yourself. In terms of placement, both lights and Ring Camera can be rotated freely, and you can even place the Ring Camera above rather than below, as is usual. Either way, you're dealing with two 2,000-lumen floodlights, which are pretty intense and should let you see relatively far away at night and are much more powerful than the spotlight version, as you can see in our breakdown between the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro vs. Ring Floodlight Pro.
