While the TechRadar Australia team has been knee-deep in covering this week’s Amazon<\/a> Prime Day sale, we were rocked by the news of my colleague, Max Langridge, recording a break-in attempt at his home with a Ring security camera<\/a>. It was enough for him to bolster security further by picking up some extra Blink cameras while they’re discounted.<\/p>\n

One of the best things about modern home-security cams is that they’re very cheap to purchase, with Ring cameras starting as low as AU$35 for the indoor camera<\/a> (although the brand has some premium options, too) and Blink with even more affordable offerings from AU$31 for a 2-pack of the Mini 2K+<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a catch with these Amazon-made security cameras \u2014 you have to sign up for a monthly subscription to access some of their most useful features, like cloud video storage and movement detection . There are some workarounds with Blink cameras, such as the flash storage-supporting Sync Module 2, but on the whole, you need to pay extra to use the cameras to their full potential.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are plenty of other compelling Prime Day deals on security cameras that don\u2019t require a monthly subscription to access essential features.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve pulled together five such subscription-free security camera discounts below, including offerings from reputable brands like TP-Link, Reolink, Wyze and more:<\/p>\n
