Today Only: Get 3 Arlo Security Cameras for Just $50 Each at Best Buy

A home security camera is always a good idea, even if you live in a great part of town. Not only do they act as a deterrent, but they can also let you keep an eye out on things like those must-not-miss deliveries.

Best Buy is offering you the chance to grab a three-pack of these Arlo Essential XL 2K cameras for just $150 instead of the usual $400. If you want to up your security game but need more than one camera, this is the deal for you.

Unfortunately, there’s a catch. This deal is a one-day affair, which means that time is running out to snag your new cameras with a $250 discount. Keep that in mind and make sure to place that order soon or risk missing out entirely.

Each Arlo Essential XL cam has a wide 130-degree field of view, so you can get decent coverage at most angles. They are also protected against the elements, being able to handle temperatures as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit and as high as 113 degrees Fahrenheit. The cameras have a high resolution of 2,560×1,440, or 2K, so the images produced are sharp. Night vision is also on board, and you’ll be able to see out to about 25 feet or so, with a built-in spotlight for added illumination when needed or to ward off unwelcome visitors.

These are battery-powered cameras, which means they’re easy to install and don’t need wiring in, but it also means you’ll have to get the cameras down periodically to charge them back up. Arlo says that the XL cameras can go a year between charges, but this will depend on how often they are manually checked in on or triggered. 

It’s worth noting that while you can use these Arlo Essential XL cameras without a subscription to get real-time notifications, live streaming and two-way audio with visitors, many of the best features are locked behind an Arlo Secure sub. Things like cloud storage, smart activity zones and package detection will cost you $8 or more per month.
