Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event is underway, and some of the sale's biggest deals are on home security cameras. When it comes to prioritizing your privacy and peace of mind, some deals are smarter than others.

While brands like Ring, eufy, or Wyze often come to mind when you think of smart home cameras, these companies have security vulnerabilities that don't sit well with us. (You can read more about our concerns here.) One of our favorite alternative brands is Google Nest, and today, shoppers can score the award-winning Google Nest indoor security cam for its lowest-ever price of $69.99. At 30% off, this deal sheds $30 off its regular list price of $99.99. While Google Nest is known to go on sale fairly often, it only reaches this low a handful of times per year.

Whether you want to check up on your pets while you're out of the house or monitor your home for unwanted visitors (animals and humans alike!) the Google Nest indoor cam has got you covered. It knows the difference between people, animals, and vehicles, and uses this discernment to send you more relevant alerts while you're away through the Google Home app. By setting up Activity Zones, you can prioritize the areas in your house that are most important to you and get notified accordingly. Thanks to its two-step verification system and video encryption, we feel good about Google Nest's commitment to privacy, which makes this deal all the more appealing.

Be sure to secure this Google Nest deal before it's gone! Prime Day 2 ends tonight, so don't leave items in your cart too long.
