Turkey Day may still be a week away, but Black Friday sales are already starting to arrive. And some of the best deals on everything from tech to home goods and appliances are available on amazon right now.
One great deal is the Arlo Essential Video Doorbell, which normally costs $130, but is currently on sale for just $30. At $100 off, you're basically losing money if you don't take advantage of this deal.

Video doorbells have become increasingly popular not only for their convenience, but also for their security features. This one gives you excellent viewing range with a 180-degree view, meaning you can see everything from a package on the ground to someone's face when they're standing. It also has night vision, allowing you to get a clear recording even when it's dark.
This doorbell helps you keep an eye on your home even when you're away, giving you alerts when there's movement at the door, as well as allowing you to receive calls from the doorbell and respond to visitors either via two-way audio or pre-recorded responses. “The video is wonderfully clear, as is the sound,” said one shopper. “I connected Arlo to my smart hub and my smart speakers and displays. Every time the button is pressed, I get a clear message: 'Someone is at the front door.'”

When the camera detects motion, it also automatically records so you can look back and see what caused it later. “The app alerts you of any movement in about 6 to 10 seconds,” said one shopper. “Once in the app, you'll be able to view the video clip. The Arlo app also allows you to customize which zones you want to receive notifications about when something enters that zone.” This feature is great for limiting your notifications and avoiding an alert every time a car passes by.
This doorbell is now on sale for Black Friday, but we can't be sure it will stay in stock or that the price won't go up again, so shop quickly before the sales drop! As a bonus, if you install it before Christmas, you might even catch a glimpse of Santa Claus himself.
