  • Current price: $169
  • Original price: $239

If you're looking to boost your home security without adding monthly subscription fees, then you can't go wrong with this bundle from Eufy that includes two eufyCams 2C and a Homebase 2. 

The security cameras are wireless, outdoor, IP67-weather-resistant that run on built-in rechargeable batteries. One single charge on each camera can give you up to six months of use without having to recharge. 

The Homebase 2, which is what I currently use for my home security system, is a subscription-free hub that can store up to 16 GB of footage locally, as well as work as the central location where your Eufy devices meet. The 100db alarm is loud enough to hear across our entire house, and works seamlessly and reliably along with our other Eufy Security devices. 

Originally priced at $239, you can clip a coupon right on Amazon's product page to save $70 off the original price, making your price $169. 

Eufy has released its newer Homebase 3 recently, which you can also purchase here.
