Amazon cuts Arlo Video Doorbell 2K to $28.50 and Essential XL camera to $59.99

The doorbell deal saves $51.49, and Android Authority said it is the best deal it has seen on the device this year. At $28.50, the outlet described the Arlo Video Doorbell 2K as a strong pick for anyone upgrading their front door setup without spending much. The device can run wire-free on a rechargeable battery or be hardwired to existing doorbell wiring, so it can fit different homes without requiring separate models.

The doorbell records in 2K and uses a square, head-to-toe view with a 180° field of view. Android Authority said this helps capture more of the area around a door, including visitors and packages left near the step. It also includes two-way audio, motion alerts and night vision. For wired setups, it supports both mechanical and digital chimes when compatible. It connects over Wi-Fi and works with Alexa and Google Home for voice alerts and smart display support. The outlet called it a compact, all-in-one option.

For the camera, Amazon's $59.99 price is down from a $79.99 recommended retail price, a 25% discount that saves $20. Android Authority said the current price equals the lowest price it has seen this year and called it the best deal it has seen on the camera, with the article's wording referring to 2025. The article described the Arlo Essential XL Wireless Security Camera 2K (3rd Gen) as a 2025-release wire-free outdoor model.

The camera offers 2K video, a 130° viewing angle and color night vision. Its built-in XL battery is one of its biggest selling points; Arlo says it delivers about four times longer battery life than the standard Essential Security Camera (3rd Gen), according to Android Authority. The camera also includes motion alerts, two-way audio, a built-in siren and spotlight-style lighting for better nighttime visibility.

The camera works over Wi-Fi and does not require a base station. An optional SmartHub can add local storage, reduce Wi-Fi load and may help with battery performance, Android Authority reported. Basic live view, motion alerts and two-way audio are available without a subscription, while optional Arlo plans add cloud video history and smarter detection features. The outlet said the deal makes the Arlo Essential XL worth a look for buyers who prioritize longer battery life.
