Arlo offers up to £550 off its cameras and doorbells for Black Friday
Discounted surveillance? That’s a steal
Arlo’s security cameras make it a cinch to secure your smart home. Connected to your Wi-Fi, they can record comings and goings 24/7, whether watching over your porch or protecting the biscuit barrel. And now Arlo’s security kit is even more affordable: thanks to Amazon UK’s Black Friday deals, you can save up to 61% on its range of cameras, hubs and video doorbells.
Among the biggest steals is the Arlo Pro 3, a 2K camera that’s dropped from £280 to £110, a saving of £170 versus the official retail price. Wire-free and easy to install yourself, the Arlo Pro 3’s magnetic mount means you can easily reposition its watchful eye to ensure its 160-degree field of view covers exactly what you need it to.
Train your own eyes on the Amazon website this week and you won’t require the Pro 3’s spotlight or subject-recognition tricks to know what you’re looking at: a very good deal.
Arlo Pro 3 cameras need an Arlo SmartHub to talk to your wireless network. Luckily, the best Arlo Black Friday deals bundle in a bunch of cameras, plus the base station – so you’ll be all set to protect your home. Handily, the SmartHub can also be configured to store video clips locally, in case you don’t fancy shelling out extra for Arlo’s cloud storage plans (you get three months free).
The most affordable package includes a pair of Pro 3 units, as well as that all-important SmartHub. That camera crew would usually set you back £550, but Amazon has cut the cost by 60%. Until 28 November, you can bag the two-camera kit for £220. Which is the opposite of daylight robbery.
Those who want total security will find the biggest saving of all: opt for the four-cam pack and you’ll pay less than half of the usual ticket price. So instead of £900 for four Arlo Pro 3 security cams and a SmartHub, the Black Friday bundle will cost you just £350. You can’t put a price on peace of mind, but £350 is probably less than you’d expect.
If you want the sharpest eyes around your crib, you can also save on the Arlo Ultra 2, which captures all the action in crystal clear 4K. Kits start at £379 (40% off) for two camera units and a hub, rising to £590 (also 40% off) for the same setup, plus two additional Ultra 2 cameras.
Looking to install a digital bouncer at the door? You can also upgrade your ding dong for less during Black Friday. The Arlo Essential is one of our favourite wireless video doorbells, capturing doorstep action in Full HD across 180 degrees. While it detects motion night and day, we’ve detected this deal: 56% off at Amazon, bringing the price down by £100 to just £80.
As for internal security, the Arlo Essential Indoor is a wired watcher which keeps a 1080p eye on your pad. Besides night vision and two-way audio, it also features pet detection, so you’ll know which pooch left those muddy paw prints across the carpet. Usually £120, Amazon’s reduced it to £70 for Black Friday – a saving of £50.
