This is the absolute best Echo deal for Cyber Monday: Echo Show 5 with Wyze Cam

There’s a whole bunch of Echo device deals for Cyber Monday, with the best deals coming from Amazon directly. But a deal we first uncovered on Black Friday continues to be the best Echo device deal available, and the bundle price is only good through Wednesday or while supplies last, so act quickly this Cyber Week.

Amazon paired its Echo Show 5 —

already on sale for $50

during Black Friday weekend — with the

Wyze Cam for just $10 more.

You’d spend $116 if you buy them separately, but through Wednesday you can get this package for just $60, which is about as good as it gets.

The Echo Show 5 is the smallest video-enabled Echo device and replaced the Echo Spot. While the Spot was a good clock, its screen was too small to be useful for much else. Audio quality left much to be desired, too, but both of the Spot’s biggest issues are remedied with the Echo Show 5.

The device sports a 5-inch screen (thus its name) in a design reminiscent of a digital alarm clock. While it runs a bit slower than the larger Echos, for use in a bedroom or other small room it will do just fine. A privacy shutter also allows for privacy when you don’t want video calls.

We love the fact that it’s paired with the Wyze Cam. For those not in the know, Wyze has made a name for itself by producing some outstanding smart home products at prices far below its competitors. The Wyze Cam is no exception, and boasts great picture quality at an unbeatable price, and is by far one of our favorite security cameras on the market now.

Final hours: With everything from 4K TVs to 8K TVs available, these last-minute Cyber Week TV deals are your last chance to shop for this holiday season.

This particular camera is owned by quite a few of us at Digital Trends, and we’re plenty happy with its performance for the price. Perhaps its only negative right now involves occasional delays in receiving motion notifications, but otherwise, it’s a pretty solid product.

All you need to do is enable the Wyze skill to view your cameras right on your Echo Show 5 or any other video-enabled Echo device. While we think once you see just how well these Wyze Cams work, you’ll want more of them, and this package deal is a good place to start.

What is the Amazon Echo Hub?
A person using the Amazon Echo Hub.

Amazon already has a robust lineup of smart displays, but the new Echo Hub is something entirely different. While it looks a bit like an Echo Show, the Echo Hub isn't a smart display -- it's a smart home hub designed to be mounted directly on your wall.

Unlike the Echo and Echo Show products, the Echo Hub isn’t a tabletop device. In fact, you'll need to pay extra for an optional stand just so you can place it on your table or countertop. That's because the Echo Hub is a smart control panel, not a smart speaker or smart display. Amazon bills the Echo Hub as "an Alexa-enabled control panel for your smart home devices." After getting it mounted to your wall, it'll sync up with the rest of your smart home and make it easy to control your various gadgets via its touchscreen.

Amazon has an impressive roster of smart displays, but few are as popular as the Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 10. The Echo Show 8 is now on its third generation, offering an HD display and a small footprint that's great for most homes. The Echo Show 10 is also on its third generation -- though it's much larger than its sibling and comes with a few exclusive features.

But is the bigger smart display better? Both products share much of their spec sheets, and it's not immediately evident that the Echo Show 10 does enough to deserve its hefty price. Here's a look at the Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 10 to help you determine which is best for your needs.

But is the Echo Show 8 better than the Nest Hub? And what exactly is the difference between these two smart displays? Here's a comprehensive look at both to help you decide which one to bring into your smart home.
