This story is part of Holiday Gift Guide 2021, our list of ideas, by topic, by recipient and by price, to help you discover the perfect gift.
The holiday season is the perfect time to upgrade your home security — especially since porch pirates can derail your delivery-dependent schedules. And if your house is already secure, a security camera or smart lock can make a solid holiday gift. Good news: Now’s also the best time to find great sales on many of the most popular home security devices and systems.
If you’re in the market for connected home security gadgets, like ones that work with your Alexa- or Google Assistant-compatible smart speakers or displays, there are also loads of options. Plus, there will only be more sales as we get closer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday proper. Check out Best Buy’s new early Black Friday sale, some early favorites at Target and Walmart’s early Black Friday sales for more.
Here are the best home security deals we’ve found so far.

Google’s 2nd gen Nest Hub normally costs $100, but at Wyze you can get it bundled with a Wyze Cam V3, one of our favorite home security cameras, for $70 — a pretty great deal for anyone hoping to get started with a camera-and-monitor setup in their home.

Molly Price/CNET
Level is a smaller home security developer, but it’s launched a compelling line of smart locks that hide inside your existing door. They’re easy to install, low profile and now cheaper than usual. You can buy the deadbolt that replaces the inner workings of your existing lock for $149 right now, or you can opt for the also-discounted $187 Level Keyless Lock or $233 Level Lock Touch Edition.

Abode Cam 2: $25
Save $10
Abode
Abode’s home security system is a great product, if pricey. But its cameras, which can be used with or without the larger system, are much more affordable. The Abode Cam 2, which can be used indoors or out, is on sale now for a super cheap $25, putting it in range of competitors such as Wyze and Blink. What’s more, the Abode home security systems are also on sale for as much as $80 off.

Ring Video Doorbell Wired: $42
Save $18
David Priest/CNET
Ring’s Video Doorbell Wired is already a pretty solid deal at $60, but right now it’s down to a mere $42, making it one of the most affordable video doorbells on the market. Sure, it doesn’t have all the smarts of those $250 smart buzzers (such as radar and the like), but you’ll get reliable performance, 1080p resolution, two-way talk and all the other basics you’d expect from a video doorbell in 2021.

Blink Mini security camera: $20

CNET
Blink’s super-affordable line of home security gadgets are always pretty wallet-friendly, but the Blink Mini is almost half off right now, at only $20. Sure it doesn’t have all the extra goodies of more luxurious smart cams, but if you’re looking for a solid performer at an unbeatable price, this is your pick.

It may not seem like the most obvious home security gadget, but a smart speaker like the Amazon Echo Dot can actually buff up your home security. Alexa Guard allows your smart speaker to listen for telltale signs of security problems, like breaking glass. And if you upgrade to Alexa Guard Plus, which costs $5 per month, it adds plenty of other skills, like playing the sounds of dogs barking as a deterrent to would-be burglars.
