Security is an important, if sometimes overlooked, aspect of owning a house. It’s easy to trust the building’s built-in safety structures, but having a security camera can add comfort when away from the property or sleeping at night. There’s no need to spend big, either, with this TP-Link Tapo security camera up for grabs at just $15. That’s a 42% discount over its regular price, for reference.
There were plenty of smart home deals during October’s Prime Day, but we suggest taking advantage of this one while you still can. With support for 1080p video capture and advanced features like motion detection and night vision, there’s a lot to like about this camera, even before you consider that it costs just $15 right now.
