This 3-Pack Spotlight Camera Set Is Half Sale During Amazon’s Big Spring Sale
Amazon’s big spring sale is back—and while it’s not Prime Day , it still offers a solid lineup of discounts for anyone looking to score big-ticket items for less. This seven-day sale, running from March 25 to 31, is only in its second year, but already seems like a worthy reason to shop. You don’t have to be a Prime member to get great deals, although Amazon says members get “more and better” prices . If you don’t want to commit, the 30-day free trial may only be worth it for a week. Just set a reminder to cancel if you don’t plan on keeping it .
One of the hottest discounts right now is on the Arlo Pro 5S 2K Flood Camera (3-Pack) , down to $217.78 from $449.99, which is its lowest ever, according to trackers . This three-camera set is designed for people who want decent home security without the complicated installation. Each camera is completely wireless and records video at 2K resolution. This means the footage is sharp enough to see license plates or faces in the distance, and you can digitally zoom in on it without turning everything into blur. They feature built-in floodlights and color night vision that triggers when motion is detected, providing better visibility at night.
However, these cameras don’t come with local storage unless you already have the Arlo Smart Hub ($99 instead of $110), which allows you to record to a USB drive . If you don’t, you’ll need the Arlo Secure plan – $7.99 per month for one camera or $17.99 per month for unlimited. This subscription gives you access to cloud recording, activity zones, advanced object detection, and smart alerts. You can also upgrade to a $24.99 per month plan that adds 24/7 emergency response. On the other hand, the Pro 5S 2K works with Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, SmartThings (and Apple HomeKit combined with a hub )—so it’s flexible if you’re already using smart home devices, according to this PCMag review .
