Should you buy a security camera on Black Friday 2021?

Black Friday is just around the corner, but unlike previous years, the Black Friday deals have already begun. The Black Friday shopping period started in October as part of an effort to keep crowds to a minimum in the ongoing pandemic, but that's good news for shoppers. Now is a great time to buy a security camera, especially if you plan to do a lot of holiday shopping and want to combat porch piracy.

ADT vs. Vivint: Which home security system is best?
Vivint hub on a stone wall.

Homeowners interested in professionally installed home security systems and monitoring services will find two names mentioned frequently: The long-time security brand ADT, and the smart security company Vivint. There’s a lot to unpack for both these systems, what they cost, and how they’re used: Let’s dive in and explore the most important details to see which adds up to the best choice.
Pricing
We’ll start with pricing, one of the more important factors when comparing similar home security systems like Vivint and ADT. Both have individual device costs for each unit you add to your system, and both highly encourage homeowners to get a quote for more accurate details. Device-to-device cost comparisons appear to be similar, but both companies are opaque when it comes to all the models they offer and their costs: They really want you to rely on a representative coming to your house and discussing your needs first.

ADT offers three base security packages that homeowners can add on to: Secure Home, Smart Home, and Video & Smart Home. However, ADT doesn’t list any specific prices for these packages, but other packages on their site start at $599 and go up to over $1,400. Vivint doesn’t offer packages, but says the average security system costs around $2,400 -- which can be rolled into monthly payments if desired. That’s extremely high compared to a DIY home security system, but it’s designed to take the work and decisions out of the owner’s hands.

SimpliSafe adds outdoor camera with 8x zoom to its DIY lineup
SimpliSafe Wireless Outdoor Security Camera

An outdoor security camera can keep your home safe, but it's sometimes tough to see the details of a figure in the distance. Many people solve this by installing multiple security cameras along their driveways, especially if they live out in the country. But why go to all that trouble when you can just zoom, zoom, zoom in on something of interest? The new SimpliSafe Wireless Outdoor Security Camera comes equipped with an 8x digital zoom that makes it possible to see faraway details from the camera itself.

In addition to this powerful digital zoom, the camera is equipped with a removable, rechargeable battery that will last for three to six months on a single charge depending on usage. You can also purchase additional battery packs to ensure there's no downtime while recharging.
