Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is now live, and smart home tech is getting some serious discounts. If you’ve had your eye on smart home technology and security gear like video doorbells, security cameras or any other connected devices, now’s the time. We’re seeing huge discounts from Blink, Roku, Arlo and more. A lot of this stuff doesn’t go on sale often, so this is your chance to save.
I’ve been digging through the deals and I’ve found the ones that are worth your money, including several products I’ve tested myself and recommend. Fair warning, though: These prices are live as of right now, but they go out of stock pretty quickly, and these discounts won’t last forever. So if something catches your eye, grab it before it runs out or the price increases.
I’ll keep updating this page alongside CNET’s deals team as new offers pop up and prices change, so check back if you’re not ready to buy just yet.
Best Amazon Big Spring Sale security camera deals
Blink’s latest Outdoor model keeps everything great about this compact camera while improving features such as resolution and two-way audio. Setup is particularly simple and a Wi-Fi hub is included along with the cam. I really like this model as an all-purpose home security camera with an excellent app. As long as you have a spot to screw in a small mount, you can use this camera — and the batteries can last up to two years before needing replacement.
In our hunt for the best home security systems, we’ve tested many security cameras. This one from Arlo stands out because of its simple setup and weather-resistant design.
Blink’s doorbell frequently makes our recommendations for a great, cheap video doorbell, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it quite this cheap! If you’ve been wanting a video doorbell but don’t have a lot of money to spend on one, this is your best choice. Blink’s latest model includes important features such as two-way audio, chime alerts, motion detection, live viewing from the app and Alexa compatibility. You will need to add a subscription for online video storage, but this model includes a Sync hub for free local storage.
I’ve tested the MagCam before; it’s a powerful battery model for the outdoors (and I like the snap-on magnetic mounts). This version improves quality even further with 4K resolution, but the real value here is the included solar panel, which helps keep the battery topped off so you don’t need to recharge as often. Also, good news for those looking to save: Tapo supports local storage without a subscription.
We love Arlo’s high-end cams, but they’re too expensive for many buyers. The 2nd-gen Essential 2K cam is a perfect substitute for saving money while getting those excellent Arlo features, and with this deal you can save even more, making it one of our favorite security cam picks of the sale. This model is especially durable for all kinds of outdoor weather and includes a spotlight as well as other smart bells and whistles. Just keep in mind you may need to get an Arlo subscription to unlock everything.
If you’re looking to grab an outdoor camera with its own lighting, this Reolink model is a pretty solid option. Along with 4K ultraclear wide-angle lenses, you’ll get 355-degree pan and 50-degree tilt, which help accurately capture every inch of the action.

Best Amazon Big Spring Sale smart lock deals
Tapo is known for its budget smart devices that still typically deliver solid performance. This doorbell is a good example, with its keypad and fingerprint combination that supports Alexa and Google Home. You can create guest access, set auto-locks, view log histories and manage other important lock features. The only thing I don’t like here is the rechargeable battery, which requires a USB-C charge every so often, but that’s a small price to pay if you want to save money.
Forgetting your keys can be a problem of the past with August Home’s smart lock, one of our favorite smart locks. With this device, you can easily access the door from your phone.

You have four easy ways to unlock it: with your fingerprint, a PIN code, a key or through the app. Just pick the method that works best for you. The built-in Bluetooth lets you conveniently access it with your smartphone (its range is about 8–10 meters).

Two sensors may not seem like a lot for a security system, but Arlo’s kit ranks high on my suggestions for renters and anyone who wants an effective, minimalist system with great app controls. The secret is that those sensors house eight different functions, from sensing motion and open/close situations to monitoring temperature, CO levels and even water leaks. Put them wherever you have an issue you want to target. The keypad has multiple disarm options, and you can include a fob that works with Arlo’s doorbell, too.

When does the Amazon Big Spring Sale happen?
Over the past two years, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale has landed in March. In 2024, it ran from March 20 through March 25. In 2025, it kicked off on March 25 and wrapped up on March 31. This year, the sale will take place from March 25 to 31.
Do you need a Prime membership to shop the sale?
No, a Prime membership isn’t required to participate. That said, Prime members typically get access to exclusive deals and perks like two-day shipping. In previous years, several discounts were reserved specifically for subscribers.
Will other retailers have a spring sale?
Last year, we saw competitors like Best Buy, Target and Walmart offering their own versions of spring sales. A lot of the deals offered at Amazon will be matched at other retailers as well, so you’ll likely be able to pick your preferred retailer and shop there. Keep your eyes peeled for member-exclusive deals at those stores, too, such as discounts for My Best Buy or Walmart Plus subscribers.
When’s the best time to buy home security devices?
When a sale like this one rolls around, it’s usually the best time to check out any smart home device for discounts, including home security. The only tricky part is nabbing a great deal before supplies run out, so if you see a notable deal, it’s time to make a buying decision sooner rather than later.
How we choose the best security device deals
At CNET we have a team of expert shoppers and deal hunters with years of experience. Our goal is to make sure buyers understand which major sales and deals — such as Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events — are legitimately good and which are more routine. We’ve gotten very good at weeding out scams and superficial deals so you see only the best offers on security devices from retailers all over.
We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing a deal to show you.
- Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history for that product to make sure no manufacturers are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is.
- Reviews are important for any product, but especially for deeply discounted items. If an item breaks the first time you use it, the deal isn’t a good one at any price.
- Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will be around for only a short while or will be available only for the remaining stock, we’ll let you know up front so you don’t come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.
We keep our articles as up-to-date as possible to bring you the best current prices.
