Amazon slashes over 30% off 'brilliant' wireless doorbell camera that's 'fantastic value'
The wireless camera can be snapped up for under £50.
Many of us will be embarking on well-deserved and long-awaited summer holidays over the next few months for some sun, good food, and relaxation. A common anxiety when going away for a week or two is whether or not your home is safe sitting empty.
But luckily, Amazon are offering a generous discount on a highly-rated security camera.
The XTU Wireless WiFi Video Doorbell Camera is currently 31 per cent off for Amazon Prime members, cutting its price from a steep £69.99 to a more affordable £47.99. The wireless camera connects to your phone via the CloudEdge app which alerts you of any movement outside your door while you're away.
The Video Doorbell Camera boasts many high-tech features, including a built-in rechargeable battery that can last one to two months, ensuring that you won't have to charge the batteries too often. Its motion detection and two-way audio features allow you to see and hear whatever is happening on your doorstep whenever you're not there.
Its product description on Amazon says the wireless device can be set up in just five minutes, without the need for any specialist tools. The camera is also waterproof to resist the changeable Scottish weather, meaning you can keep an eye on your home year-round.
The high-tech lens provides crystal-clear images and video recordings via 2560x1440 Megapixel and 166 degree wide view angle, as well as night vision of up to 30 ft. It offers an optional paid subscription for the app, but reviewers have deemed this extra cost 'not necessary'.
The doorbell camera boasts a high rating of 4.3 stars out of a possible five, with a whopping 5000 odd reviews.
One happy customer said: "Great little doorbell for a really good price! Good camera quality and manages to detect motion with a really impressive range. Brilliant night vision too.
"Easy to physically install took me about five minutes and the setup on the app was a breeze with the ability to add household members to share the footage and settings with without any trouble."
Another pleased customer said: "I purchased this door camera/bell about a year ago. I cannot fault its functionality and ease of use. It works really well and exceeded my expectations."
Tech deal of the week
If you're on the market for a new TV, you'll know it can be a fairly pricey purchase.
However, we have a deal that won't cost an arm and a leg, as the Hisense 4K UHD Smart TV is currently at its cheapest price on Amazon. It's currently on sale for £599 at Amazon, a 25 per cent discount from the usual £799 price tag.
According to price tracker camelcamelcamel, this is the lowest price ever offered for this TV. Launched last year, the Hisense U7N is said to deliver one billion shades of colour due to its Quantum Dot and Mini-LED technology.
This uses thousands of tiny LEDs to create dimming zones, offering superior control over brightness, contrast and colour compared to standard models. The TV also boasts Hisense's new Hi-View Engine Pro feature, which uses AI to upscale content for a higher quality image.
Its Dolby Atmos sound system is said to create an immersive experience by making it seem like sound is coming from all directions, whether you're watching films or playing games.
As well as countless films and series on streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+, the Hisense U7N also offers Freely, a new platform that provides live and on-demand TV from BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and more in one place.
It also comes with built-in Alexa voice control, allowing for hands-free operation of the TV.
Over 100 have been bought on Amazon in the last month, where it is an Amazon's Choice product - meaning it is highly-rated, well-priced, and available to ship immediately. If you don't want to miss the deal, buy it here.
A third said: "This video doorbell is absolutely fantastic value for money. It has all the features that all of the more expensive brands have and it performs outstandingly. So simple to set up and install and the app is really user friendly. I did try the optional subscription although I don't think it's necessary.
"It has the option for an SD card and that will more than suffice for anyone's needs. Great battery life (even with us living on a constantly busy road). It did take me a few attempts to alter the alarm notifications but after a short while I've found the sweet spot. Great video and sound quality and solid connectivity. Definitely would recommend!
However, one customer was not so satisfied, saying: "I bought this as a present for Christmas, it started off really well but the device has been acting up, the motion sensor doesn't work and the camera will be offline for days and won't connect.
"I've contacted the company for a solution but none of them worked so will be getting it refunded."
For those browsing other doorbell cameras, Argos offers the eufy E340 2K Dual Cameras Smart Video Doorbell with Chime for a more expensive £124.99, or the Arlo Essential HD Wi-Fi 4-in1 Smart Video Doorbell for a cheaper £89.99.
