Amazon's Prime Day is bringing down the prices of some of the best security cameras and video doorbells we've tested, and since Amazon owns Blink and Ring, models from both brands are seeing some of the deepest discounts These easy-to-use cameras add video monitoring and two-way intercom to the entire property Even better, these cameras are integrated with the Alexa smart home platform, so they can pull live video footage between devices like Echo Shows and Fire TVs

Keep in mind that both brands require a subscription to record video and store it in the cloud Without a subscription, one can receive notifications and view live feeds, but cannot record suspicious activity and view it later However, Blink has a Blink Sync Module (sold separately), which is excellent for recording video locally to a USB drive
