This 3-camera Alro home security kit is $300 off at Best Buy

By
Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera
John Velasco / Digital Trends

While Amazon’s Ring cameras have been all the rage recently regarding home security, there are many other great options out there, such as the Arlo Pro 4, which actually features on our list of best home security cameras. While buying a whole new security bundle isn’t always cheap, luckily, Best Buy has a great deal discounting a complete kit down to just $300 from $600. That’s 50% off the original pricing for three cameras and parts, a price tag that can easily compete with Amazon’s best Ring bundles.

Why you should buy the Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera Security Bundle

There’s a lot to love about the Arlo Pro 4, but the biggest is probably that it can connect to your router wirelessly rather than needing a hub or an ethernet connection, which is a huge leg up on competitors. The removable battery also helps decrease the number of wires since you can use the included secure mounts without worrying about running a power cable. Even better, this bundle includes four batteries and a dual battery charger, making your life much easier when swapping out batteries. As for battery life, while Arlo claims six months, you’re more likely to get about a month out of it, which isn’t bad.

Of course, one of the most important bits of a security camera is the video quality, and we’re happy to say that the Arlo Pro 4 can record up to 2k with a 4-megapixel ⅓-inch camera sensor and a 160-degree field of view. That said, it’s important to note that recording at 2k requires you to subscribe to the Arlo Secure service and gives you 30 days’ worth of recording. Arlo Secure also includes the ability to do things such as package, animal and person detection, rich and smart notifications, and geofencing; so much functionality is locked behind a paywall. Luckily, it’s not too expensive at $4.99 a month for a single camera ($3.99 if you go annual), but since you have three, it’s worth going for the unlimited plan that costs $12.99 a month (or $10/month annually). You also get three months of subscription out of the box, which we appreciate.

All in all, the Arlo Pro 4 is a great alternative to the Amazon Ring Spotlight Camera, and for just $300 for the whole bundle from Best Buy, it’s an absolute steal. While it’s not likely you’ll find a much better discount, it’s always worth checking out other security camera deals for alternatives.

Best security camera deals: Get a single camera for $30 and more
Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera

Whether you're working at home or still going to an office, having security cameras around your has can offer you peace of mind, but what might not give you as much peace of mind is finding the right one. Luckily, the best security cameras usually have some form of deal on them, and we've collected some of the best here for you to save you the trouble. So, whether you need a whole-house setup or just a single camera, there are deals for every need.
Today's Best Security Camera Deals
While there are a lot of great deals, our favorite is probably the Swann Enforcer bundle, with four 1080p cameras and local storage. That last bit is important if you have choppy internet and can't rely on cloud storage; plus, you don't have to deal with annoying subscription services, which is always a big plus. The downside is that it's a wired system, so you'll have to run cabling, and not everybody is willing to do that. On the other hand, if you want a wireless system, the Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera Security Bundle is a great option since it comes with a charging station and costs $300 for three cameras, so essentially $100 per camera for 2k and a bunch of other functions.

Of course, if you only need one camera, the Arlo Essential Indoor Camera and the eufy Security SoloCam L40 are both great options. Which one you go for depends wholly on whether you feel the need for 2k resolution or not, although if you're doing it for an indoor space that isn't too big, it might not be worth going for 2k, especially if you only need a pet camera.

Usually $150, this pour-over coffee maker can be yours for $40
Someone using the Bella Pro Series 8-Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker.

For a considerable chunk of people, having that first coffee of the day is paramount to starting on the right foot, which is why having a good coffee maker can make a world of difference. If you live with others, there's also the element of having to prepare coffee for several people, which is why larger coffee machines, like the Bella Pro Series, are a great option, and we'll see why in a little bit. Of course, the Bell Pro Series is a bit pricey if you're on a budget, but luckily you can grab one from Best Buy for just $40, rather than the usual $150 it goes for.

Why you should buy the Bella Pro Series 8-Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker
While the Bella Pro Series didn't quite make our list of best coffee makers out there, the 8-carafe Pro Series has a lot of great options whether you're a solo coffee drinker or not. For example, one of our favorite features is the pause-and-serve function, which stops the brew at any point so you can serve yourself a coffee. That way, you can sneak in a cup before others get to it or are ready, and if you're on your own, it lets you get started with your day without having to wait for the full brew time. It also has a simple one-button design that allows you to brew and warm the coffee for up to two hours, which we very much appreciate compared to smart coffee makers, which can sometimes be overcomplicated.
