Amazon Prime Day 2025 is happening next week, but we've already spotted some fantastic deals on the hottest home security cameras, video doorbells, and floodlight cameras. While the semi-annual sales doesn't officially start until July 8 and concludes July 11, lots of manufacturers are jumping the gun in the hope of beating their competitors to the punch. Just remember that you'll need an Amazon Prime subscription to bag the best deals. I oversee all of TechHive's smart home and home security coverage, and I personally review a lot of cameras and doorbells myself, so I'm very knowledgeable about the state of the market and what constitutes a good deal; you can count on me to point you in the right direction. And if you're looking to save money on more of the latest technology, visit PCWorld's Amazon Prime Day Tech Deals 2025 hub.

Your front door is your home's first line of defense. Having a video doorbell mounted next to that door is almost as important as having a deadbolt, because it will not only give your visitors an easy way to let you know they're there, but it will also know when anyone approaches your home–whether or not you're home at the time. In fact, these cameras are so useful you might want to mount one next to every entry point into your home: side entrances, at your garage door, and the door to your backyard, for example. Whether you're waiting for friends to visit, watching for trouble-makers, tracking parcel deliveries, or hiding from that weird neighbor who keeps asking to borrow your lawn mower, the video doorbell is an essential security tool. TechHive's editors and contributors have been testing video doorbells since 2014, and we continuously evaluate the latest devices along with their accompanying apps.

We're launching a pilot subscription plan for ChatGPT, a conversational AI that can chat with you, answer follow-up questions, and challenge incorrect assumptions.

By offering this subscription pricing, we will be able to help support free access availability to as many people as possible.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning today allow us to reduce the time demanded for solving a certain problem from months and years to minutes. For example, it took your grandma years of practice to learn the right temperature for growing her zucchinis. If she had AI, she would do it much faster. But the problem is that even today not so many people can program ― only 0,5%! This is where no-code platforms step into the game.

Since smart doorbells first started popping up on front doors across the U.S. in the last decade, Ring and Nest have dominated the video doorbell market. Both brands have a strong reputation and large consumer base--and there's good reason for the fanfare. The two smart home tech companies make sleek and reliable video doorbells that go beyond the basics of many other doorbell cameras, with features like package detection, facial recognition, and continuous recording. To help you decide which is right for you, we're peeling back the layers and analyzing the differences between two popular front door rivals: the Ring Video 3 Plus and the Nest Hello. The Nest Hello (pictured) and the Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus both retail for $229.

New details about Google's much-anticipated Stadia game streaming service have leaked just hours before the firm is set to host an event about the platform.

Nest Labs is adding Google's facial recognition technology to a high-resolution home-security camera, offering a glimpse of a future in which increasingly intelligent, internet-connected computers can see and understand what's going on in people's homes. The Nest Cam IQ, unveiled Wednesday, will be Nest's first device to draw upon the same human-like skills that Google has been programming into its computers - for instance, to identify people in images via its widely used photo app. Facebook deploys similar technology to automatically recognize and recommend tags of people in photos posted on its social network. This photo provided by Nest Labs shows the Nest Cam IQ.

The new camera will set you back almost $300, and you'll also have to pay $10 a month for a plan that includes facial recognition technology. The same plan will also include other features, such as alerts generated by particular sounds -- barking dogs, say -- that occur out of the camera's visual range.
