It’s unsurprising that smart home security devices are among the most anticipated items in this year’s Prime Day deals, which are set to roll out next week on the Prime Day 2021 date of June 21 and June 22. Smart home security tech, like security cameras, smart locks, and doorbell cameras not only keep your home safe, but they also often connect with your smartphone and other devices, and give you peace of mind, wherever you might be. Smart locks can be the best way to manage who comes in and out of your house and can add a good dose of both convenience and security to your home. Interested in upgrading? Here we’ll show you exactly what you can expect when it comes to Prime Day smart lock deals.
What Prime Day smart lock deals to expect
It would not be surprising if we saw a wide range of smart locks discounted as part of the Prime Day smart lock sales. If you’re got your house rigged with Google devices, like Nest, you’re going to want to keep your eyes open for the Nest X Yale. On the other hand, those homes more dedicated to Alexa might want to check out Prime Day smart lock sales for discounts on the Nest X Yale. If you’ve gotten used to unlocking your laptop with a fingerprint, the Kwikset Halo Touch might be more your speed, which could be discounted as well. There will be smart locks like Wyze lock, which will need some installation, and there will be locks perfectly suitable for an Airbnb situation, which can come in incredibly handy. Whatever your needs, Amazon Prime Day smart lock deals will have something for you.
What Prime Day smart lock deals we saw last year
Last year was a time when we were all spending more time at home, and home security was on our minds. One brand that we saw receive large discounts was Tile with its products like Tile Pro and Tile Mate, which come in four-packs. These are incredibly handy gadgets that attach to your keychain and connect to your devices by Bluetooth and ensure that you never lose or misplace your keys again. On the higher end of things, there was the tamper-proof Kwikset Touchscreen Keyless Entry Smart Lock, which works only with Apple HomeKit, and was reduced from $229 all the way to $155, a considerable discount. Other markdowns included smart locks that are not tied to one kind of smart home connection — like the Kwikset Kevo, which allows you to operate your lock using your smartphone, also reduced from $229 to $155.
Should you buy a new smart lock on Prime Day?
The short answer is maybe (sorry). If you’ve been thinking about home security, or the convenience that comes with being able to unlock your door from anywhere, and have made the decision to go ahead and invest in this tech, then this is a perfect time. Based on the history of discounts for Prime Day smart lock sales, we don’t expect the locks that are on sale on Prime Day to be discounted by much, if any, more by the time Black Friday rolls around. So, if a smart lock is on your shopping list, Prime Day smart lock sales could have your name on them — and our guide to the best smart locks will help you figure out the best one for you.
It’s if you’re undecided that things get trickier. If you are simply browsing Prime Day smart lock deals, and aren’t sure if you want one or not, it might be best to keep an eye out for significant discounts, as well as an eye on your budget.
