The 7 home security deals I'd buy on Prime Day are not all from Blink or Ring!

Arlo Ultra 2 security camera

Prime Day brings with it a lot of exciting deals, but Amazon-owned companies Blink and Ring tend to dominate – not only with massing savings but also 'early access' deals meaning you can get in a few days early.

Swann make a good choice as one of the more reliable PoE (Power over Ethernet) companies – it helps a lot they're not embroiled in an international trade blacklisting either like some big Chinese brands. 

They're not without some great deals this Prime Day, and it'd be churlish to ignore them, especially these two brilliant deals:
