Security Camera Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals 2024
Editor’s Note: Don’t wait for a big sales event. Take a look at the Best Affordable Home Security Systems of 2024. In addition to high-quality cameras, you’ll gain discounted packages and score free devices from top brands like SimpliSafe.
If you’re looking to add a few cameras to your portfolio of protections, there’s no better time to shop than Black Friday or Cyber Monday. We’re coming up on those two major retail holidays, so now’s the time to start planning your savings.
Here’s a rundown of what we expect to see during this year’s Black Friday deals from the top security camera companies, and if you want to keep an eye on a specific brand, check out these Black Friday deal pages we put together.
Black Friday 2024: Save Big With These Top Security Camera Names
Black Friday deals dropped early this year; we’ve been seeing special offers pop since the first week of November. And we can’t wait to see what’s in store for the full sale. Check how much you can save on your purchases from the top security camera brands based on current sales and what they offered last Black Friday.
FYI: Traditionally, Black Friday is for in-store sales, while Cyber Monday is for online deals. However, that line has been blurred to the point that companies now offer online deals on Black Friday.
Lorex
In the past, we’ve seen Lorex offer three distinct ways to save: Its Black Friday Blowout Sale, its Site Crasher deals, and the Outlet Clearance Sale. We’re not exactly sure what this year’s holidays will bring, but this brand is always looking for ways to save its customers money.
The Black Friday Blowout Sale from last year featured discounts of up to $700 on security camera packages. These were large quantity deals that stayed until Cyber Monday. If you haven’t picked a Lorex system yet, we expect there to be a Black Friday page for a full list of discounted packages like there was last year.
Site Crashers, on the other hand, are limited-quantity deals that usually sell out fast. As such, they’re always changing. Last year, the best Site Crasher deal we found was the $39.99 Lorex 2K indoor camera. It was 20-percent off compared to the regular price.
Lastly, if you don’t mind using open-box items, the Lorex Outlet Clearance Sale offered up to 50-percent off on refurbished items. They are not brand-new, but Lorex vets them thoroughly before selling, and they come with the same one-year warranty as brand-new Lorex products
Ring
Ring, the doorbell camera brand that is now part of Amazon, doesn’t miss a year when it comes to offering Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts.
Last year we saw up to 50 percent off on individual cameras and bundles. The already affordable Ring Indoor Cam — $59.99 retail — was going for just $29.99. There were also some heavily discounted camera multi-packs for sale, especially on Amazon. The Stick Up Cam and Video Doorbell two pack was going for just $99.99, 44 percent less than its regular retail price. They aren’t offering any pre-Black Friday sales so you’ll have to wait and see what they have up their sleeve for this year.

Blink
Much like Ring, Blink is a part of the Amazon brand. Unlike Ring, Blink has a smaller product lineup but cheaper equipment.
Blink sells products almost exclusively through Amazon, and last year Blink marked down most of their cameras by almost half. The cheapest Blink Camera, the Bink Mini was going for just $19.99 — it’s regularly priced at $34.99.
The newest Blink camera, the Blink Outdoor 4, also went on sale. Originally listed as $119.99, it was currently available for $71.99. That’s 40-percent off, if you’re wondering. If it’s any indicator of what we’re in store for this year’s Black Friday, that same Blink Outdoor 4 has a Limited Time Discount bringing its price down to $39.99 right now. We hope for even better come Black Friday.

Arlo
If wireless, battery-powered cameras are your thing, then you’re going to want to look at Arlo, especially since last year’s Black Friday let you shave off up to $500 from the retail price. That much savings came from its six-camera bundle of Arlo Pro 5S, but individual cameras and security camera sets were also heavily discounted from around $50 to $150.
Aside from that, Arlo’s newest product, the Arlo All-in-One Security System, had price cuts up to $50 on starter equipment.
Wyze
Last year Wyze started dropping a few deals per day heading into Thanksgiving week. Those included 35 percent off on some of their most popular cameras, culminating in a big Cyber Monday sale. Will it be the same this year? We can’t say for sure, but it’s very likely that they’ll want to top themselves. We haven’t seen any discounts for Black Friday yet though.
Google Nest Cam
Google’s Black Friday sale started early this year with some discounts beating out last year’s Black Friday sales. For security cameras, they’re offering the same prices on the Nest Cam (battery) and Nest Cam with floodlight as last year although the Nest Cam (indoor, wired) is $10 more than it was during last year’s Black Friday deals. Here’s how much each of these three cameras cost during Google Nest’s pre-Black Friday sale:
- Nest Cam (indoor, wired): $79.99 ($20 off)
- Nest Cam (battery): $119.99 ($60 off)
- Nest Cam with floodlight: $189.99 ($90 off)
In addition, the Nest Doorbell Wired is $30 off (down to $149.99) while the wireless battery-powered version is $80 off (down to $99.99).
Multi-camera bundles are also available, with savings ranging up to $100.

Eufy
Last year, Eufy was running a site-wide sale with discounts up to 55-percent for it’s best-selling products, including cameras, robotic vacuums, and smart weighing scales. Right now, they’re running a pre-Black Friday sale with discounts of up to 50-percent. They’ve also announced that there will be another site-wide sale this year for Black Friday, but they haven’t announced how big those discounts will be.
Over to the security camera department, multi-camera bundles were the highlight of the sale last year. The eufyCam 3C three-camera package with a 1 TB local storage drive, for example, was selling for $449, down from its $729 regular retail price. That’s $280 in savings right off the bat.
Swann
Much like Lorex and eufy, Swann security camera systems were heavily-discounted. The minimum discount was 20-percent, but some were going for up to 75-percent off. They’re also running a pre-Black Friday deal with discounts of up to 50-percent. Not quite as good as last year’s Black Friday deals, so we’re hoping they at least match last year’s discounts for the main sale.
For example, the Enforcer 1080p Dome IP Camera, designed to work with an existing Swann DVR, was only $24.99. That’s $75 (and exactly 75-percent) lower than the $99.99 retail price. We haven’t seen any deals that good during the pre-Black Friday deals so we’ll be back on the hunt come Black Friday.
Reolink
Last year Reolink had an extended Black Friday sale that lasted until December 2, with discounts on big-ticket items like the Reolink Argus PT Plus. The deals changed fast and often, though, so be sure to keep an eye out when this year’s Black Friday sale rolls around to catch the latest offers. There were also flash sales (limited-time discounts) happening every few days, and a big one was slated Black Friday itself.
