Connect Your Cameras With The Best Smart Home Security Deals for June 2025

Home security is top of mind for a lot of people during the summer, as hot temperatures and free time can trigger an uptick in unlawful behavior. That’s why investing in a smart security system is a wise choice. A wide variety of smart cameras feature motion sensing, night vision, object and human detection, and more. Those cameras come in indoor and outdoor models, can be built into doorbells and other devices, and integrate with wireless locks and motion sensors to deliver alerts to your phone or other device and trigger sirens and silent alarms. No matter what your home security needs are, there’s tech that’ll handle them. Here are the best smart security deals from our favorite brands in June.

Many security systems have optional subscription plans that allow you to store and access the videos your cameras record from anywhere for a monthly fee. Others require a separate hub unit to control the cameras and contain local storage. Both types typically allow you to access your video feeds in real time via your phone, computer, or smart display. We also recommend cameras that allow for two-way audio interaction with whoever’s on the other side of the lens, and having a spotlight function for night vision is a nice option as well. The main choice you’ll need to make with your smart doorbell is whether or not you need a wired or wireless option; from there, camera specifications and additional features will vary. 

Security Camera Deals

Right now, Amazon has a deal where you can get a pair of durable and high-quality Arlo cameras for 53% off. The Arlo Essential is an indoor/outdoor security system that we reviewed in 2020, praising its high-quality color night vision thanks to the included LED spotlight, simple installation, easy integration with smart home networks, and ample battery life. With sharp 2K video and a 130 degree field of view, it’s a great pick for lots of different environments. The Arlo Secure app lets you get notifications, manually engage the siren, use two-way audio and more.

While the TP-Link Tapo C100 doesn’t have as many of the high-end features as more expensive options, but it does everything you’ll need it to. Motion detection can send push notifications instantly to your phone, two-way audio and a built-in siren lets you communicate or scare away prowling animals, and it’s compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. In PCMag’s 2022 review, we rated it “Good” and praised its local and cloud storage options.

For a few more bucks, Eufy gives you more features and flexibility for your home security setup. They’re rechargeable, for one, and between the full field of view, infrared night vision, and 1080p resolution, the footage you get is pretty detailed. They also deliver smart notifications like motion alerts that can tell the difference between the neighborhood cat and a delivery driver arriving at your doorstep (and with two-way audio, you can interact with them as well). This package also includes a home hub for months of video storage with no monthly fee.

Amazon’s Ring line makes solid and dirt-cheap networked cameras that are simple to set up and easy to use, making them great for interior coverage when you don’t need fancy features. Right now, there’s a 40% price cut on a two-pack of Ring Indoor Cams, which we reviewed and rated highly, noting that the unobtrusive cylinder improved over the last iteration with the addition of color night vision and a manual privacy shutter. The 1080p camera is bright and clear, and you can view footage from your phone, a connected Alexa device, and more. A Ring subscription is required to store video in the cloud, but it’s quite affordable as well.

Video Doorbell Deals

We gave an Editors’ Choice award to the exceptional Arlo video doorbell, saying that it was a breeze to install and packed all the features you’d expect from a more expensive unit. The internal battery can be charged through a USB-C port or hard-wired into your house’s electrical system, the wide 180-degree viewing angle gives you tons of coverage over your entryway, and 2K video is nice and sharp. It does lack color night vision, but that’s a minor omission, and a 28% discount makes it even more attractive. Read our full review for all the details.

With a pair of cameras, one front-facing for visitors and a second facing downwards for packages, this Philips smart doorbell is a solid pick for lots of different homes. It’s simple to install and stores video footage on an internal drive, meaning that you don’t have to spend extra for a subscription. It does have a ten-second delay from the unit to your phone or smart screen, but that’s plenty of time to catch trespassers. Two-way audio also includes preset audio responses, so you can press a button in the app to communicate with visitors. See where it lands on our list of the best video doorbells.

Finally, here’s a budget model from TP-Link that delivers surprisingly great 2K video in a compact and unobtrusive package. We reviewed the Tapo smart video doorbell and said that it was versatile, wire-free and works with tons of other smart devices, giving it an Editors’ Choice award. With support for both Alexa and Google smart networks as well as IFTTT applets, you can integrate it easily into your home smart network. You can store footage either on a microSD card or in the cloud with a Tapo Care subscription.

Security System Deals

We gave an Editors’ Choice award to SimpliSafe’s robust security offerings in our review, noting that it’s simple to set up on your own but the company also offers paid installation services, with affordable monthly monitoring fees that don’t require you to lock in a long-term contract, and the multiple modules give you lots of flexibility. We’ve been reviewing this system and its updates for over 10 years now, and the latest hardware is its best work yet. Amazon has a 38% discount on a twelve-piece kit that includes a base station, five entry sensors, two motion sensors, an interior 1080p camera, and a code keypad.

For a more budget-minded approach to security, this Eufy system will get the job done, especially for apartments and smaller homes. With a pair of entry sensors to attach to doors or windows, along with a more robust motion sensor, it’s a breeze to set up and the companion app gives you tons of customization and flexibility. You can tune the motion sensor to ignore pets, integrate Eufy cameras, alarms and other hardware, and send alerts to your phone or other device in seconds. See how it compares with our list of the best home security systems.

Smart Lock Deals

The Ultraloq Bolt Fingerprint was our all-around pick in our rundown of the best smart locks, and in our rave review contributing editor John Delaney said that it was “one of the most versatile smart locks we’ve tested,” praising its accurate fingerprint recognition, voice recognition, and numerous physical entry methods. It’s compatible with a wide array of automation platforms, including Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, IFTTT, and even Samsung SmartThings. Installation was a breeze and it performed ably in testing. Amazon has an extra $10 coupon right now.

Amazon offering 41% off makes this an exceptionally solid deal on a good-looking smart lock that will keep you safe. In our review of the Aqara Smart Lock U100, Delaney said that this setup was “a versatile smart lock that allows you to lock and unlock your door in multiple ways, including with a keypad and a traditional keyway and with your fingerprint, voice, or phone.” It’s simple to install and works especially well with Apple’s HomeKit automation system. An optional hub lets you extend it even further.

Eufy makes reliable and high-tech smart security options, and we liked its C220 smart lock quite a bit. In our review, we said it “offers stylish looks, easy installation, and an embedded fingerprint reader,” and praised the addition of a Wi-Fi unit for easier connectivity. It takes eight AA batteries, which last an estimated eight months before needing to be replaced, and the AI-powered fingerprint detection gets more accurate over time. If you’ve got dirty hands, you can also open the lock with a physical key, a numeric code, or the Eufy phone app.
