Step aside, Ring: Arlo Video Doorbell is $130 at Amazon for Black Friday

Arlo

This year’s Black Friday deals are finally starting, and for those who are planning to invest in smart home devices such as video doorbells, there are many Black Friday smart home deals that are already available. If you want to look at alternatives to Black Friday Ring Video Doorbell deals, browsing through Amazon Black Friday deals is a good place to start, particularly with the retailer’s $20 discount for the Arlo Video Doorbell, bringing the device’s price down to $130 from its original price of $150.

One of the main features of the Arlo Video Doorbell is its HD camera with a wide 180-degree viewing angle and 1:1 aspect ratio, allowing you to see more of what’s outside your door without distortions to the video. The device also comes with two-way audio so you can communicate with people outside your door, night vision so it is easy to see what’s going on when it’s dark, and a weather-resistant design so it won’t be affected by the heat or rain.

The Arlo Video Doorbell is easy to install if your home already has a doorbell and chime box. The Arlo app can even walk you through the process so you can get the video doorbell up and running quickly, with videos to help you set it up.

Arlo’s artificial intelligence is capable of determining whether there is a person, package, or animal on your front step, and the app may be set up to send you alerts when the video doorbell detects them. Additionally, you can set up the app so that you can see the footage from the video doorbell on your phone’s lock screen, so you can react quickly if there’s an emergency. The Arlo Video Doorbell even comes with a built-in siren that you can trigger manually or automatically in response to an event.

As a Ring alternative, the Arlo Video Doorbell comes with various advantages that may make it your preferred option. It’s a versatile video doorbell that’s good value for its original price of $150, but an early Black Friday deal from Amazon offers a $20 discount to bring its price down to $130. It’s unclear how long stocks will last, and you might want to avoid the congested shipping channels that Black Friday will bring, so you should click on the Buy Now button as soon as you can.

If you're the sort of person who worries about the physical safety of their home or live in a rough area, then having home security cameras can help give you much more peace of mind. The great thing is that in the past decade or so, security cameras have come a long way, and nowadays, you can get things like wireless security cameras that let you access them remotely from wherever you are through an application. Of course, that does mean that there is a huge selection out there, which is why we've collected some of our favorite security camera deals below, although if you're in the Amazon ecosystem, it might be worth checking out these Ring camera deals.
Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage Security Camera -- $27 $50 45% off

While this is ostensibly made for your garage, there's no reason the Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage can't work for other uses as well, especially if you don't need the highest quality of recording. It has an HD camera, which isn't a ton, but it does have an impressive 130-degree field of view. The MyQ also connects through dual-band Wi-Fi for a better connection, and it even has two-way communication, which is impressive for something at this price bracket.

I tried the RayNeo Air 2s glasses and they’re on sale for Black Friday
RayNeo Air 2s on custom Steam Deck - Briley Kenney Digital Trends_edited

With the holidays coming, I've been trying a spat of unique VR and AR devices. One pair I got my hands on, called the RayNeo Air 2s, basically gives you a portable 201-inch display that you can put on and use anytime, anywhere. They work with Android, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PS5, and -- my favorite -- Steam Deck. Our team has used the RayNeo Air 2 previously and also gave them high marks. Fun Fact I learned from reading that, RayNeo is actually a TCL brand. As for what I think of them, we'll get to that. For now, I want to talk about the crazy RayNeo Black Friday deals that have just dropped.
