Best Smart Home Security Deals for April 2025 (2025)

Feeling a little nervous about the future? It's mutual. We're not predicting total societal collapse, but things might get dicey. If you want to protect your property, it might be smart to pick up a smart camera that features motion sensing, night vision, object and human detection, and more to keep an eye on your house and property. Those cameras come in stand-alone models, integrated into doorbells and more, and integrate with wireless locks, motion sensors and more to deliver alerts to your phone or other device. Here are the best home security deals we've spotted for April

Many security systems have optional paid subscription plans that allow you to store and access the videos your cameras record from anywhere. Others require a hub unit to control the cameras and contain local storage. Both types typically allow you to access your video feeds in real time via your phone, computer or other smart display. We also recommend cameras that allow for two-way audio interaction with whoever’s on the other side of the lens, and having a spotlight function is a nice option as well. The main choice you’ll need to make with your smart doorbell is whether or not you need a wired or wireless option; from there, camera specs and additional features will vary.

Security Camera Deals

While the TP-Link Tapo C100 doesn't have as many of the high-end features as more expensive options, but it does everything you'll need it to. Motion detection can send push notifications instantly to your phone, two-way audio and a built-in siren lets you communicate or scare away prowling animals, and it's compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

For a few more bucks, Eufy gives you more features and flexibility for your home security setup. They’re rechargeable, for one, and between the full field of view, infrared night vision, and 1080p resolution, the footage you get is pretty detailed. They also deliver smart notifications like motion alerts that can tell the difference between the neighborhood cat and a delivery driver arriving at your doorstep (and with two-way audio, you can interact with them as well). This package also includes a home hub for months of video storage with no monthly fee.

In our review of the Blink Mini 2, we said it was a fine option at its $39.99 retail price, but a full 50% discount from Best Buy makes it much harder to resist. This compact little unit captures 1080 video day and night, with an integrated spotlight for color night vision if you opt for that. It'll happily send alerts to your phone or connected Alexa or IFTTT device, but to record video and view it later you'll need to pick up a Blink Hub or opt for a subscription. It's IP65 rated for water resistance, so it can be pressed into use outside as well.

Video Doorbell Deals

Amazon's Blink line makes solid mid-range security products, and right now they're offering 50% off the capable Blink Video Doorbell and accompanying Sync Module. In our review of this bundle, we praised its simple installation, versatile options for either direct wiring or battery power, and reliably clear 1080p video. Battery life is massive, with Amazon promising up to two years of use in between charges, and with compatible Alexa devices you can view live video, two-way talk, receive motion and chime alerts, arm and disarm your doorbell and more. A Blink subscription or an additional USB drive is required to store video, however.

Here's an $18 coupon offer for the Eufy battery video doorbell, a very competent front-porch monitor that we gave a solid review to. It's simple to set up and connect to your home Wi-Fi network, and once it's up and running you can stream video and get motion alerts to your phone or other smart device, use two-way audio to communicate with visitors, and more. An optional microSD card can plug right in to the chime unit to store captured video. The built-in battery lasts 120 days between charges, and it integrates seamlessly with Alexa devices and Eufy smart locks.

Finally, here's a budget model from TP-Link that delivers surprisingly great 2K video in a compact and unobtrusive package. We reviewed the Tapo smart video doorbell and said that it was versatile, wire-free and works with tons of other smart devices, giving it an Editors' Choice award. With support for both Alexa and Google smart networks as well as IFTTT applets, you can integrate it easily into your home smart network. You can store footage either on a MicroSD card or in the cloud with a Tapo Care subscription.

Security System Deals

Amazon's Ring line of cameras and security tools are designed for budget shoppers, but offer decent performance and easy integration with other Alexa devices. This is an affordable way to set up both motion and entry sensors for your home for just $200, and you get a free month of Ring Home monitoring. In our review, we noted that it supports multiple wireless protocols for seamless integration to smart home systems, as well as taking Alexa voice commands and working with Alexa Guard to monitor for the sounds of breaking glass and smoke alarms. This package comes with a Base Station, one Keypad, four Contact Sensors, one Motion Detector, and one Range Extender.

We gave an Editors' Choice award to SimpliSafe's security offerings in our review, noting that it's simple to set up on your own but the company also offers paid installation services, their monthly monitoring fees were quite affordable and don't require you to lock in a long-term contract, and the multiple modules give you a ton a flexibility. We've been reviewing this system and its updates for over a decade now, and the latest hardware is their best offering yet. This package is 50% off and includes a base station, keypad, eight entry sensors for windows and doors, two motion sensors, an audio glassbreak sensor, SimpliCam security camera and more.

For a budget way to secure a few locations, you can't beat this minimal but functional kit from X-Sense. The low-profile package includes a pair of entry sensors for your front and back door, a multi-purpose motion sensor, an alarm keypad, and a base station. It all works seamlessly through the X-Sense app, which lets you set schedules, arm and disarm the system, and more. Tool-free installation is a breeze, and it works with Amazon Alexa to create routines and more. Click the 20% coupon for optimal savings.

Smart Lock Deals

The Ultraloq Bolt Fingerprint was our all-around pick in our rundown of the best smart locks, and in our rave review contributing editor John Delaney said that it was "one of the most versatile smart locks we've tested," praising its accurate fingerprint recognition, voice recognition, and numerous physical entry methods. It's compatible with a wide array of automation platforms, including Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, IFTTT, and even Samsung SmartThings. Installation was a breeze and it performed ably in testing.

Amazon offering 38% off makes this an exceptionally solid deal on a good-looking smart lock that will keep you safe. In our review of the Aqara Smart Lock U100, John Delaney said that this setup was "a versatile smart lock that allows you to lock and unlock your door in multiple ways, including with a keypad and a traditional keyway and with your fingerprint, voice, or phone." It's simple to install and works especially well with Apple's HomeKit automation system. An optional hub lets you extend it even further.

Eufy makes reliable and high-tech smart security options, and we liked their C220 smart lock quite a bit. In our review, we said it "offers stylish looks, easy installation, and an embedded fingerprint reader," and praised the addition of a Wi-Fi unit for easier connectivity. It takes 8 AA batteries, which last an estimated eight months before needing to be replaced, and the AI-powered fingerprint detection gets more accurate over time. If you've got dirty hands, you can also open the lock with a physical key, a numeric code, or the eufy phone app.
