Forget Ring — these security cameras don't require a subscription and are on sale for Prime Day, starting at just $17

The Blink Mini 2K+ is Blink's new indoor security camera. It has a 2K resolution and comes with several useful features like color night vision, person detection and an easy-to-use companion app. In order to go subscription-free, you will need to purchase the Blink Sync Module 2 ($49, sold separately) as well as a USB stick, but your all-in cost is still under $100.

The Blink Outdoor is a fully wireless home security camera that records video in 2K, lets you store video locally (or in the cloud), and has a two-year battery life. As with Blink's indoor camera, you'll need to pick up the Sync Module 2 if you want to store video locally.

This camera boasts a 4K resolution , and its body can rotate a full 360 degrees, so it can follow the action around your yard. It has color night vision, free person and vehicle detection, and uses local AI — which means faster and more secure responses. It does need to be plugged in to work, though.

Eufy's products deliver great value; this solar-powered 4K camera has AI-enabled motion tracking, can rotate 360 degrees, and recognize license plates from as far as 33 feet away. It supports up to 128GB of local storage, and if you pair it with an Eufy HomeBase, it can store up to 16TB of video.

Two cameras are better than one. This dual-cam setup has one fixed camera and one that can pan and swivel, so if it's tracking someone, you still don't lose sight of the rest of your room. It has a 2K resolution and is IP65 rated, so you can use it indoors or outside. Both cameras have a small spotlight, and they have a 98dB alarm to scare off would-be intruders.

In our Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+ review, we said it "checks all of the boxes for a budget-friendly video doorbell" with 2K video, an easy installation, and up to two years of battery life. You will need to purchase the Sync Module 2 separately if you want to save on a video subscription.

This video doorbell has two cameras, one of which is pointed at the foot of your door, to make it much easier to see when someone has left a package for you. The cameras deliver 2K resolution and full color night video, and the removable battery pack will last up to 6 months on a charge.

Eufy's video doorbell also has two 2K cameras to better spot packages. It has 8GB of built-in storage and can be paired with a local Homebase hub so you can save even more video. It has a quick-release battery, but can also be hardwired, so you have a backup in case the power goes out. This video doorbell is a little old — we reviewed it in 2022 — but it's still just as good now as it was then.

While it doesn't have a dual-camera setup, its single 2K camera can cover up to 160 degrees, a pretty wide field of view. You can fit it with up to 512GB of local storage, or purchase a Tapo home hub to store video over your local network. The doorbell has a 5,200mAh built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that will last up to 180 days.
