The Best Deals on Doorbell Cameras

So here’s the deal: none of our favorite doorbell camera companies have actually announced their Black Friday 2020 deals yet. That’s not super surprising, as they want people to pay full prices, ideally. However, we traveled back in time to Black Fridays past to see what discounts they have done last year and earlier, which could be some great indicators for 2020. Buckle up!

Blue by ADT Doorbell Camera

Last year, Blue by ADT, then known as Lifeshield before it was acquired by ADT, offered us $100 off security systems up to $399.99, $200 off of all systems $400 to $799.99, and $300 off systems worth $800 and up. The best part? They even threw in a free indoor camera for new customers! To learn more, read our Blue by ADT review.

Arlo Video Doorbells

According to a release on Business Wire, Arlo’s Black Friday sales on Amazon included up to 17 percent off video doorbells.1 For their $200 video doorbell, this came out to $166. Not too shabby!

August Video Doorbells

The August Doorbell Cam Pro along with the August View, which we covered specifically in our August View review (say view five times fast), were up to 64 percent off on Amazon last year.2

Lorex Video Doorbells

Lorex’s video doorbell was up to 49 percent off on Amazon last Black Friday; for the $129.99 device, that would have amounted to savings of up to $64.

Nest Hello

The Nest Hello is one of the best video doorbells of the year, but at $229, it’s also one of the pricier options on the market. Well, last year Amazon sold the video doorbell for up to 35 percent off, so it’s definitely worth waiting until Black Friday to see how much you can save.

Ring Video Doorbells

While not all of Ring’s many video doorbells were on sale on Black Friday last year, we did see $30 off the Ring Video Doorbell, $50 off of the Ring Video Doorbell 2 and $80 off of the Ring Video Doorbell Pro. Of course, Amazon owns Ring, so we expect even more Black Friday discounts this year.

SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Pro

SimpliSafe is fairly predictable when it comes to sales; nearly all year long, they offer 25 percent off a new system plus a free camera, so we expect the same to be true this year on Black Friday.

SkyBell Video Doorbells

SkyBell gave us $70 off plus free shipping and free cloud recording in 2017, but we didn’t see many discounts for 2018 or 2019, so it’s unclear what exactly the future will bring.

Vivint Doorbell Camera

Vivint’s been having Black Friday deals for nearly a decade, including free activation and installation on all new home security and home automation systems with savings of up to $500. They’ve also had sweepstakes to win a free system and up to five years of free service with the winner announced on Black Friday. We haven’t seen sweepstakes for this year yet, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled.

Zmodo Video Doorbells

In 2018, Zmodo gave its customers a free Zmodo Greet Video Doorbell with a purchase of the Zmodo Sight 180 camera, plus 30 days of cloud storage on the house. You really can’t get much better than free!

Doorbell Camera Pricing

When we test our doorbell cameras and review them on our site, price is always a factor, which is why we laid out the regular prices of each doorbell camera below, from lowest to highest.

Summary
