Amazon threw us a curve ball this year with its Big Spring Sale, which kicked off March 20 and runs through March 25. In true Amazon fashion, deals started popping up days before the official sale began, including discounts on outdoor security cameras. And as the sale continues, we're seeing more products joining the list.

In case you blinked and missed it, the Big Spring Sale is a brand-new Amazon savings event that showcases deals on "seasonally relevant items," as per Amazons' blog. Seasonally relevant can mean a lot of different things to different folks, but according to Amazon, deals include select electronics, home products, sports and outdoor equipment, beauty products, and more.

If you're looking to outfit your home in security equipment, we're keeping a running tab on the best outdoor security camera deals from the Big Spring Sale below. Check back regularly for the latest updates.

Blink security camera deals

Why we like it

With 700 lumens of motion-triggered illumination, the new Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight camera lets you see what's happening outside of your home in crisp HD no matter the time of day. Thanks to two-way audio, you can speak to people and pets using the Blink app on your smartphone, and get a heads up if that noise you heard outside was a squirrel rustling in the bushes or an actual intruder. With the Blink subscription plan (sold separately), the enhanced motion detection goes even further with person detection. At 40% off, you can grab this easy-to-setup security camera for an all-time low of $77.99 during Amazon's spring savings event.

Arlo security camera deals

Our pick: Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera

$199.99 Save $60.00

Why we like it

Our favorite outdoor security camera, the Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera, is on sale for just $139.99 during the Big Spring Sale — that's 30% in savings and just shy of its all-time low price. We'll certainly be keeping an eye out if it drops to a new low. This wireless 2K HDR camera is packed with all kinds of bells and whistles, including a motion-activated spotlight with color night vision, a built-in siren to stop intruders in their tracks, a noise-cancelling mic for two-way audio, and a 12x digital zoom that zeros in on moving objects. The Arlo Smart plan (starting at $2.99 per month) unlocks even more features and you can test drive it for three months with a free trial.

Frequently Asked Questions


Despite deals on popular brands like Ring and Wyze definitely being out there, we don't recommend them due to their security vulnerabilities and recent breaches. You can read more about our concerns here.


The Big Spring sale also features several notable deals on eufy security equipment, but buyers should steer clear, according to Mashable senior shopping reporter Haley Henschel.

"Anker's smart home brand lied about the security of its cameras to The Verge, which was able to bypass encryption and stream live footage from two eufy cameras through the cloud using a third-party media player last fall," Henschel wrote in our guide to the best home security systems. "There's no evidence that this security flaw was ever used for nefarious purposes, and Anker eventually owned up to it at the beginning of 2023, but not before getting up to some weird shenanigans with its privacy promises. It's going to need to prove its transparency and trustworthiness before we consider recommending any of its equipment."
