There are plenty of excellent smart home devices you can pick up these days, but one of the best options is always going to be a video doorbell. These devices are just plain handy, and they serve as forward-facing security cameras as well, which makes them even better. Plus, they’re cheaper than security cameras, which means they’re a great starting point for your smart home.
If you’re looking to score an amazing deal on a reliable doorbell, now’s the time. Both Amazon and Best Buy are running a one-day sale on the Blink video doorbell, dropping it to just $30 — that’s 57% off and a record-low price. This deal ends today, so grab it while you can.
The Blink Video Doorbell’s latest iteration includes head-to-toe coverage in HD resolution — so you can see everything going on outside your door. The battery runs for up to two years at a time, which is excellent for anyone who forgets to plug in their smart devices.
