Arlo Security Camera Deals and Discounts 2024
Arlo makes some of the best security cameras on the market today, but there’s no reason to pay full price for them.
- High-quality wireless security cameras
- AI-driven features to improve safety and accuracy
- Smart home integrations with third-party systems
We’ve been covering the best security cameras for over a decade now, and we fully understand that in this space you get what you pay for. High-end cameras like Arlo’s are an investment in the protection of your property, but the price tag can be a little eye-watering — especially if you need multiple cameras to protect your home.
Don’t worry, though. With a little shopper savvy, you won’t have to pay full price for cameras. We’ve compiled a list of the best ways to save on Arlo so you’ll be able to keep an eye on your property without breaking the bank.
Before we start talking strategy, let’s set a baseline for Arlo’s security camera costs.
Arlo Security Cameras: Features and Pricing
Like we said above, Arlo offers some of the best outdoor security cameras around, and their indoor option doesn’t miss, either. They offer a pretty broad lineup in terms of features and costs — some models are affordable enough to land Arlo on this year’s list of the best cheap security cameras. But if you’re looking for the really high-octane features, you’re probably going to be looking at spending a few hundred dollars retail. Here’s a quick breakdown of Arlo’s current camera lineup and how much they’re charging:
Arlo Camera Prices
Arlo Camera | Best Feature | Price |
---|---|---|
Arlo Essential HD | Integrated spotlight | $49.99 |
Arlo Essential 2K | 2K resolution | $99.99 |
Arlo Essential XL | 4X extended battery life | $149.99 |
Arlo Essential Indoor HD | Automated privacy shield | $39.99 |
Arlo Essential Indoor 2K | 2K resolution | $79.99 |
Arlo Essential Wired Doorbell | 180-degree field of view | $149.99 |
Arlo Video Doorbell HD | DIY install (wired or wireless) | $79.99 |
Arlo Video Doorbell 2K | 2K resolution | $129.99 |
Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight | LED floodlight | $249.99 |
Arlo Pro 4 (2 Cameras) | 2 camera kit | $249.99 |
Arlo Pro 5S 2K | 160-degree field of view | $249.99 |
Arlo Ultra 2 | 4K resolution | $299.99 |
Keep in mind that even when there isn’t a sale going on you can save by bundling equipment. For example, if you pick up a four pack of Arlo Pro 4 Cameras, you’re going to save 39 percent over buying each one individually. Just something to keep in mind, especially if you want home security for a large home.
Buying in Bulk
Bundling identical pieces of equipment is one way to save with Arlo, but you can also save if you’re buying in bulk. Right now you can save 15 percent on a purchase of $300 or more, 20 percent if you spend over $450, and 25 percent if your bill is over $600. This is a discount we’ve seen Arlo offer from time to time, especially when they’re trying to clear out inventory. Is this the harbinger of a new product drop? We can’t make any promises, but the signs are looking pretty good.
Arlo Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals
We have a whole guide on Arlo’s Black Friday deals, but we figured we’d mention it here, too. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are hands down the best time to purchase home security cameras — Arlo equipment included. Last year we saw savings of up to nearly 60 percent on some models.
Of course, a lot of people these days make their purchases online, but if you want to brave the after-Thanksgiving sales crowds, you can find some deep discounts on Arlo products at these retailers:
- Walmart
- Lowes
- Best Buy
We’ve found over the years that Walmart offers the biggest discounts. Will this be the same in 2024? We’re not exactly sure, but if you time your shopping correctly, you’re sure to save big no matter what.
Arlo Prime Day Deals
Another major retail holiday we’ve seen Arlo offer some serious discounts during is Prime Day. Even though Arlo isn’t owned by Amazon like its competitors Ring and Blink, they don’t sit out on the fun. Some of the cameras we’ve seen go on sale in years past have been included:
- Arlo Pro 4
- Arlo Pro 5S
- Arlo Essential Indoor
- Arlo Essential Spotlight
- Arlo Ultra 4K
- Arlo Ultra 2
- Arlo Video Doorbell
We were really impressed when we reviewed the Arlo Pro 4, and when we tested out the Arlo Ultra 4K, we were blown away by the video quality. Arlo’s video doorbell performed well in our tests, too, and is great at keeping those porch pirates at bay. If you’re looking to outfit your home with a network of Arlo cameras, you’re going to need to fork over some serious cash, but if you take advantage of their summertime Prime Day deals, you can definitely keep your costs manageable.
Pro Tip: Want to see how Arlo stacks up against the competition mentioned above? Read our comparison of Arlo and Ring’s security systems, or our Arlo vs. Blink camera guide.
Arlo Seasonal and Holiday Deals
We’ve covered the three major retail holidays, but you don’t have to sit on your hands waiting months and months to snag a deal on Arlo’s security cameras. While you might not think a video doorbell is a great Mother’s Day present, we were still able to snag a $30 off deal at Best Buy. Seasonal deals are pretty common, too. Check Arlo’s website around Memorial Day for summertime discounts or Labor Day for back-to-school sales. We can’t guarantee these will always run, but if you can tie your shopping to a red-letter calendar day, you might be surprised by the savings.
Pro Tip: You can save money by buying Arlo cameras in bundles rather than individually. This is a good option if you want home security for a large home.
Arlo Coupon Codes
A lot of retailers offer discounts based on coupon codes like “SAVE20” or “WELCOMEBACK.” In all of our time covering Arlo’s products we unfortunately haven’t seen many of these, but that isn’t to say they aren’t floating around out there. It’s worth a quick Googling to see if they’re currently running a discount before you click “checkout.”
Pro Tip: For the most part, Arlo doesn’t make customers jump through hoops to save. If there’s a deal going on, the discount will be applied at the time of checkout.
Recap
If you want to protect your home with high-quality security cameras like the ones Arlo offers, you don’t always have to spend a bundle. By timing your shopping window and with a little bit of luck, you can save anywhere up to 60 percent on Arlo cameras.
