Amazon slashes 38% off the Arlo Video Doorbell 2K at $49.99

The Arlo Video Doorbell 2K (2nd Gen) is built for people who want a clear view of the front door without being locked into just one setup. It comes from Arlo and lets you choose between wireless battery power and hardwiring it to your existing doorbell wiring, and right now, there’s a solid deal on it at Amazon.

This 2nd-generation smart video doorbell records in 2K resolution and uses a 180-degree field of view with a square-style image. That means it’s made to show more of what’s happening at your door, including visitors from head to toe and packages left near the entrance. It also includes motion alerts, live view, two-way audio, night vision, and an integrated siren for extra deterrence.

Arlo also positions this model as a flexible fit for a wider smart-home setup. It works with the Arlo app and supports integrations with Alexa and Google Home. For most people, another nice bonus is that it does not require an Arlo SmartHub or Base Station for normal use. This listing is for the 1-camera package, with optional add-ons such as a chime and Arlo Secure service, available if you want extended video history and smarter alerts.

As for the deal, Amazon has the Arlo Video Doorbell 2K (2nd Gen) down to $49.99. That’s $30 off the $79.99 recommended retail price, which is a 38% discount. For a midrange smart doorbell that gives you both battery convenience and the option to switch to wired use later, this is a good time to pick one up.
