New smart technologies continue to revolutionize the home security industry, ranging from smart locks to security cameras and whole home security systems. Some cameras on this list are indoor or outdoor, some are wireless versions powered by a battery, some are plug-in, and some make great pet camera options and baby monitors. One of the most effective and affordable security measures you can add to your home is a video doorbell, as it provides insight into who — or what — is at the front door before they ever come in. 

Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and other retailers are offering some of the best smart home security camera deals ahead of the holiday season, and there are plenty of deals to be had on top brands like Ring, Blink, Arlo, Eufy Security, Roku, and Nest before Black Friday kicks off.
