The Arlo Pro 2 security camera system gets a showstopping 58% price cut

Amazon Prime Day is less than a week away, and some of the best deals we’ve seen so far have been on home security systems. Ring Security products have been the star of the show for Amazon so far, but with this recent price drop on the Arlo Pro 2 security system, that may be about to change. We actually wrote about a sale on Arlo security systems last week, highlighting this same 2-camera system for $100 more than it is right now. So if you’re looking to pick up some discounted wireless security camera before Prime Day 2019 arrives, we highly suggest you at least take a look at this one. With a massive $280 price drop, you can pick it up for just under $200 right now.

The smart home battle between Amazon and Google has resulted in continuous discounts, with Walmart dropping the most recent price cuts on Google Nest products earlier today. Arlo falls somewhere in between the two, however. And despite the overwhelming buying power of the retail giants, the Arlo Pro 2 has remained our favorite wireless security camera on the market. We even liked it enough to give it a near-perfect 9 out of 10 in our hands-on review.

There are multiple bundles available for this product, but the most economical version is the 2-camera system we are highlighting now. The Arlo Pro 2 Wireless Home Security Camera System includes an Arlo base station and two Pro 2 weather-resistant 1080p full HD video cameras. The cameras will run for up to six months with included rechargeable batteries and can be hooked up to an optional solar charger in case you don’t want to worry about it. If you use the cameras inside, you can plug them into a standard power outlet with ease. The Arlo 2 camera has infrared sensors for night vision to help identify anything that goes bump in the night.

With the Arlo Pro 2’s two-way audio, you can use your smartphone or smart home voice assistant to talk to visitors via the camera’s integrated speaker and microphone. The Arlo Pro 2 system is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. Other features include customized activity zones for the camera’s motion detection sensors, 3-second video lookback so you can see what triggered an alert, and a 100-decibel siren in the base station.

Normally priced $480, the Arlo Pro 2 Wireless Home Security System is down to just $200 before Prime Day 2019. If you want an easy-to-install wireless security camera set up to monitor two areas, indoors or out, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of this the lowest price we’ve seen on this kit.

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.
