How to keep your home security cameras from being hacked
We go over how to tell and prevent it from happening to your cameras
Smart home security cameras are great tools that many of us use daily to keep an eye on the surrounding goings-on in the world. They offer motion detection capabilities and can alert us when a package has been delivered. Their benefits are worth the effort. Many of the best security camera systems have features and a price that should fit the needs of everyone. However, hackers trying to snoop on your private video feeds can exploit those benefits. We show you everything you need to know about this situation.
Arlo Ultra one-camera kit drops to $290 ($110 off) on Amazon
It's an all-time low price for this security camera system
The Arlo Ultra is no longer the newest version out, with the Ultra 2 having debuted last month. That said, the Ultra 2 doesn't add much aside from better Wi-Fi connectivity, which means that you could save a whole lot without sacrificing much at all with the first-gen Ultra. The single-camera Ultra kit is down to just 0 at Amazon, representing a discount of $109.99 from its MSRP.When it launched in 2018, the Ultra was a bit of a mess, but the issues have since been smoothed out. In our review, we noted that the Ultra was a good camera overall, with the biggest letdown being the price. Obviously, the price has been addressed with this deal. The Ultra's pluses include great-looking 4K video, a long-lasting battery, local storage, an integrated spotlight, and a well-designed housing.

When it comes to security cameras, there are three brands I currently look at as leading the pack in terms of raw features and integrations with other smart home equipment: Nest, Arlo, and Logi. Today you can get a great deal on the latter, so if you still haven't picked a camp or you're not happy with your current setup, you should take a look at this Logi Circle 2 bundle.For $300, you can get two Logi Circle 2 wireless (or wire-free if you prefer) security cams and one wired model. This bundle usually retails for $500, making the savings a substantial $200. Though, if we're being honest, we all know these cams have dropped in price frequently. The lowest we've seen is $99 for the wired unit and $119 for the wireless one, however, so the $300 bundle remains cheaper in comparison.
If you're looking to get into the wireless IP home security front, then this deal is a good place to start.

There are plenty of choices when it comes to security cameras, but for the longest time, most of them needed to be tethered to electricity and couldn't be placed outdoors. Now, lots of companies like Nest and Canary are releasing outdoor-friendly cameras, but Arlo has been doing it for a while before them. The wireless Arlo security cam system is comprised of one smart home base connected to power and your router, and one or several small cameras interspersed around your house or business. They're wireless, work off battery power, have night vision, are weather-proof and motion-triggered, stream in HD quality, and come with free 7 days of cloud storage. They're also compatible with Wink, IFTTT, SmartThings, (ie, they should work nicely with Google Home) and have a nice Android app to access them any time.All in all, they're a good proposition if you want to keep an eye on your property without drilling holes and extending wires everywhere. But they're also a bit expensive. One camera kit with a base station and one Arlo wireless cam usually costs $179.99. Ouch. However, if you're interested, Amazon has great deals on them today:
