If you're finally jumping on the DIY home security bandwagon, welcome! The best smart home security cameras have evolved from fussy, low-res webcams to full-featured cameras supported by well-established ecosystems. Arlo's security system is among the best platform-agnostic options on the market today, and the Arlo Pro 4 is one of our favorite security cameras, indoor or outdoor. The cameras retail for $200 apiece — well, they're normally on sale for $140 — and for the price of two Arlo Pro 4s, you can get a third camera, four batteries, a charging dock, and anti-theft mounts for each camera. That's a lot of kit for $280.

Between initial hardware costs and monthly subscriptions, smart home security can get pretty pricey. While there’s no shortage of great bang-for-your-buck budget options available, more premium devices often have hardware and software improvements that make them well worth the buy for those of us wanting a more user-friendly experience. With a $200 price tag, the Arlo Pro 4 definitely bills itself as premium, and has the slick styling and powerful hardware to back it up.

There are plenty of video doorbells out there capable of keeping a close eye on your front door, but not many do it quite as well as Arlo's Essential Video Doorbell. It offers a good amount of features for the price, delivering a perfect balance of accessibility and value for the money. However, it can be a bit on the costly side of doorbell cameras at its standard $150 price tag. Thanks to this deal at Amazon, though, you can snag one of the best smart doorbell cameras at its lowest price ever.

A video doorbell is one of the best smart home devices you can invest in. Not only does it allow the convenience of checking on visitors even when you’re not home, but it also doubles as a security camera and provides insightful notifications when it senses motion, people, and even packages left at your door. Most of the doorbells on the market can also integrate with third-party providers to help you create automated routines for added convenience.

If you're only going to install one security camera, the smart move is going with a doorbell cam. We tested the original Arlo Video Doorbell some time ago, back before it picked up Essential branding or there was even a wireless option, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. This new model is a solid value even when it isn't discounted, but we're definitely more motivated to buy it now that it's half-price. The cool part about this one is that you have your choice of using it either by hooking it up to doorbell wiring, or by going with the battery option. Your $100 purchase will also include access to Arlo Secure for 30 days.

Arlo backtracks on decision to kill support for legacy home security cameras

Arlo's security cameras are often ranked among our top picks of home security cameras, and the company's coming out with more all the time. But last month we got some surprising news about its older models, as the company shared its new end-of-life policy. Cameras that are out of production would eventually see certain functionality disabled, including access to free 7-day cloud storage for supported models. Now, Arlo is walking back from that decision, committing to retaining some features, pushing back EOL dates, and extending software support.

Whether waiting for a package delivery or simply want to keep an eye on your front yard, you'll need a reliable outdoor security camera. There are plenty of great options on the market, and both the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro and Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera are among the best. Both ensure high-def footage, plenty of nice security features, and robust subscription plans that round out the cameras, making them even more powerful. However, each camera has a different approach to the process and its own unique set of features, so which one will be the best fit for your home?

Some of the best home security cameras come from Arlo, and its products have proven their mettle by upholding user privacy while brands like Eufy are now synonymous with integrity concerns. Arlo kicked off the new year with an email to customers announcing the discontinuation of older security camera models. Now, the brand is hiking subscription prices associated with its subscription services used to operate the cameras, in some markets including the US.

Arlo makes some of the best home security cameras out there and many of its recent products have proven to be way better than the competition in many key areas. However, it now looks like Arlo’s approach toward its legacy security cameras may not go down well with some longtime users. The company has intimated to its customers that two of its security cameras will hit the end of their service lives within a couple of months — and these cameras aren’t even that old.

Keeping a watchful eye on your front yard requires an outdoor security camera that always stays up and does its job. The battery-powered Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight and the Ring Spotlight Camera are two of the best options, offering a versatile set of features. Both cameras come with plug-and-play installation and offer additional benefits with a monthly subscription. Despite their close price, the Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight and the Ring Spotlight Camera differ on several fronts, ranging from video quality to subscriptions. So, only one of them will fit the bill for your smart home.
