The security camera I own is 20% off for Prime Day, and I couldn't recommend it more

Stuff.tva day ago
If you're trying to make your house a bit smarter and keep things secure, then a smart security camera is a great place to start. I own the Lorex 2K Dual Lens Pan and Tilt camera, and while it might not have the catchiest name, I couldn't recommend it more. And given it's 20% off for Prime Day, there's never been a better time to buy it.
Right now, you can score the Lorex 2K Dual Lens Pan and Tilt camera on Amazon US for $80 rather than the usual $100. That's a pretty solid saving on such a reliable bit of kit. Those in the UK don't get access to this deal on Amazon, but can still score some savings when they order directly from the brand.
It's got the basics nailed with 2K resolution, and all the smart features you need. Local storage is ideal with a pre-installed 64GB microSD card, and there's a handy privacy mode where the camera physically tucks itself away. I hadn't seen this feature before and I love it. Set-up is simple, the app is user-friendly, and manual control over panning and tilting feels slick and intuitive. The live feed is clear with minimal lag and two-way audio works well.
Auto-tracking is still in beta, but the feature manages to follow anything moving at a normal pace. While this camera may be better at manual check-ins, it offers superb bang for your buck. Plus, I love the fact that you don't need to pay for an extra subscription.
If you're looking for an indoor security camera that plays nice, then Lorex's 2K Indoor Cam is also on offer. The smart device would normally set you back $60, but its reduced down to $48 for Prime Day.

Nintendo Switch 2 owners run, don't walk, to the Amazon Prime Day sale

If you've just picked up a Nintendo Switch 2 – or have one on the way – now's the perfect time to stock up on accessories. Amazon's Prime Day sale is in full swing, and that means serious savings on all the extras that make your gaming setup better. While the console itself isn't seeing much in the way of discounts (no surprise there), accessories are where you can save big, especially if you know what to look for. Whether you're after a second controller for local multiplayer, a carry case to keep your console safe on the go, or a camera for online gaming, there are plenty of deals worth grabbing. We've rounded up the best Prime Day bargains on Switch 2 gear, from official Nintendo kit to third-party add-ons that punch well above their price tag.

One of the best robot vacuums is almost 75% off for Prime Day

Looking for a new robot vacuum? There's no better time than on Prime Day, where the autonomous dust-suckers see some huge discounts. Dreame makes some of the best options you can buy, and there's a huge discount on the flagship L40 Ultra for Prime Day. Over on Amazon US, the Dreame L40 Ultra down by 67% from the regular price of $1500 to $500 – which is an excellent saving. Those in the UK can also grab the vacuum for less than its usual prime. On Amazon UK, the dust-sucker is down to £599 – which is also a decent price for this dirt-sucking machine. Dreame's L40 Ultra robot vac offers an incredibly powerful 11,000Pa of suction. Its MopExtend RoboSwing technology reaches up to 4cm deep into corners and under furniture, while the innovative TriCut brush efficiently handles hair tangles. The all-in-one base station delivers true hands-free maintenance, self-emptying for up to 75 days, and even cleans its own mops with 65°C hot water. Using OmniDirt Detection Technology, the L40 Ultra identifies and tackles challenging messes like oil or sauce spills with targeted cleaning routines. The robot's camera and five-channel colour sensing system ensure no dirt goes unnoticed, while its smart navigation creates detailed four-level maps for efficient route planning. You also get customisable cleaning modes for different rooms and voice control support via Alexa, Siri, and Google Home. Prefer something that's a little easier on the wallet? The L10s Ultra Gen 2 is more affordable and still offers an impressive 10,000Pa suction power and carpet detection. Its DuoScrub mop system applies pressure to tackle stubborn stains, while Smart Pathfinder technology creates efficient cleaning routes. With up to 240 minutes of runtime on a single charge, it's more than capable of handling larger homes with minimal intervention, making life that little bit easier. For Prime Day, it's been reduced by 32% on Amazon US to $400. Or on Amazon UK, you'll find it 25% off at £359.

Tado Prime Day deals: my favourite smart thermostat is now £85

Winter is now upon us, and any remnants of summer sun are pretty much gone now. So you're probably starting to tinker around with the thermostat to keep things warm. What better time to upgrade your heating system? Tado is a popular choice for smart heating, if somewhat of a new kid on the block. Adding smarts to your central heating and money-saving features, the Tado system got five out of five stars in our review. I use it in my home as well, and am very pleased with the system. The newer Tado X system is even better, bringing along some much needed updates. Tado products are up for some big savings during Prime Day, with the brand's gear up to 31% off. The brand's Wireless Smart Thermostat X is 30% off from £100, down to £70 on Amazon UK. That only gets you the thermostat, which you can use as an add-on to your existing system. If you need to get started, you can bag 31% off the Tado X Starter Kit, which is down to £110. This starter kit offers you full control of your heating from your phone, integration with smart home assistants, and plenty of additional features (more on these later). And if you're looking for a more controlled experience, you can nab some accessories at bargain prices as well. The Smart Radiator Thermostat X is down to £53, which is 15% off the RRP of £63. The radiator add-ons help you control specific radiators in your home, for even greater flexibility. That's enough to make you sweat! Tado's smart thermostat kits allow you to control your heating anytime and from anywhere, using the companion app or your favourite home assistant. With smart features like zone controls and geofencing, it really cranks up the heat on your home solution. The clever tech is simple to set up, with easy self-installation within half an hour (we know, we've tried). What's more, Tado reckons it can save you up to 22% on your heating bills.
