There are still stacks of the best Prime Day deals to be had, and when I saw the substantial savings on some of the best home security cameras, it made me wish I'd waited to build my home security camera system.

The EufyCam 2C 2-Cam Kit has been discounted from $219.99 to $149.99 – its lowest price ever – and in the UK it's also been reduced from £229.99 to £149.99. If I'd waited until now to grab a home security camera kit, I'd have saved myself $350 / £400 by opting for the EufyCam 2C 2-camera kit over my current Arlo Pro 3 set-up.

Home security cameras are a great way to check in on your property when you're not there. If the camera detects motion in its field of view, it will send a notification to your smartphone. You can log in and view a live real feed from the camera using the app at any time too – a feature I often use if strange noises disturb my sleep so I can drift back off safe in the knowledge intruders aren't trying to access my home. 

There are other stand-out deals we've spotted in the Prime Day deals. The Blink Mini – a compact indoor camera – has also been reduced to its lowest ever price of $19.99, while in the UK it's priced at £21.99. You can also pick up the Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight, which combines a home security camera with a powerful 3,000 lumens floodlight - the equivalent to 200w for just $179.99 ($239.99) in the US and £169.49 in UK, down from £259.99.
