This year's Prime Day deals have slashed the prices of some of the best smart home devices we've tested. I'm seeing steep discounts on the best security cameras and video doorbells. You can use these gadgets to add live video monitoring and a two-way intercom point to your property.

Not only can their presence deter criminals, but they can also record suspicious activity and let you communicate with other people even when you're away from home. All of these cameras feature a weatherproof construction that can withstand water and snow to double as an outdoor security camera.
