Up to 50% off security systems from Ring and SimpliSafe

What began originally as a 20th anniversary celebration for Amazon1 in 2015 has ballooned into one of the most highly anticipated shopping events of the year, considered a sort of “Christmas in July” for the behemoth retailer. And this year’s Prime Day is finally here, happening from July 16 to 17.

Tech gadgets are almost always the leading purchases during Prime Day, and they often offer the biggest savings. As such, Prime 2024 undoubtedly presents a great opportunity to enjoy discounts on the best home automation security systems and top-rated security cameras.

With all that in mind, let’s talk about all the ways we can save on security systems, particularly the Amazon-owned Ring Alarm as well as other security systems available on Amazon.

Are There Prime Day 2024 Security System Deals?

The thing about Prime Day is that it offers discounts on products sold on Amazon. And unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of security systems on the platform. The few that we know are there are Ring (Ring Alarm), SimpliSafe, abode, and Arlo.

We’ve been monitoring these security systems since Amazon announced Prime Day 2024 last month. And now that the sale is here, here are the deals we found for those four security systems:

  • Ring Alarm: 40-percent off all Ring Alarm kits, and up to 38-percent off bundles with a Ring Alarm system, Ring security camera, and Ring video doorbell. Prices start at $119.99 for the five-piece Ring Alarm system.
  • SimpliSafe: 50-percent off all SimpliSafe security systems from Amazon. Prices start at $99.99. Additionally, there are discounts for SimpliSafe entry sensors and video doorbells.
  • abode: Up to 48-percent off abode individual components and peripherals.
  • Arlo: 35-percent off the two-sensor Arlo Home Security System kit, from $199.99 down to $129.99.

Like we said, there aren’t a lot of security systems available from Amazon. However, keep in mind that there are other ways to strengthen your home security while taking advantage of one of Amazon’s biggest sales of the year. You can look for security camera Prime Day deals or video doorbell Prime Day deals – there are a lot more offers available on those fronts.

You may also want to check out bundles, such as from brands like Ring that offer both security systems and cameras. For example, there’s a bundle available right now that includes a five-piece Ring Alarm system, an indoor camera, and a battery-powered video doorbell for $199.97. That’s 38-percent lower than the regular bundle price, which is equivalent to savings of almost $80.

How to Improve Your Home Security This Prime Day

Installing a security system isn’t the only way to bolster your home security. A smart home system may also help you manage your day-to-day life better and improve how your home reacts to security incidents. For example, smart lights linked to your security system can deter burglars.

We suggest staying on the lookout for smart home deals, even as simple as Amazon’s mini-sized smart speakers, Echo Dot and Echo Pop. Right now, those mini smart speakers are selling for as low as $14.99.

Once you have an Alexa speaker (or a Google Home speaker if that’s more your style), you can easily outfit your home with smart devices that work with your Alexa-compatible security system. (Hint: Ring Alarm, SimpliSafe, Arlo, and abode all work with Alexa.) For more help, here’s our guide to home security systems, which touches on smart home integrations as well.

Why Shop on Amazon Prime Day?

One common theme we’ve found with Prime Day and Prime Day-like sales is that they’ve always been an ideal time to buy home security equipment. Items like security cameras, sensors, and the industry’s best home security systems are often marked down during events like this. With several of these items produced by Amazon itself, and with brands like SimpliSafe and abode joining the fun, you have lots of options to choose from in terms of home security.
