Indoor cameras start at $15.99 for the Blink Mini 2K+, and video doorbells range from $37.99 for the Chamberlain myQ to $169.99 for the radar-equipped Ring Wired Doorbell Pro. Smart locks are discounted too: Eufy's fingerprint-reading Smart Lock C220 is $89.99, and its FamiLock E34, which unlocks via palm-vein scanning, is $195.99. Eufy's video doorbell, the E340 Kit, also supports local storage, following the same no-subscription approach as the SoloCam.\n\nThe spread shows how fractured the smart home market still is - cheap cameras lock you into monthly cloud fees, while pricier local-storage options from Eufy avoid that bill but cost more upfront. Biometric locks like the FamiLock E34 also signal where the category is headed: fingerprint and palm-vein unlocking, once reserved for flagship hardware, is now showing up in discount-priced sale items.\n\nPrice trackers call several of these record lows, but a \"record low\" on a one-day sale is still a sales pitch - check a device's full price history, not just its usual retail tag, before you buy.","[\"prime-day\",\"smart-home\",\"security-cameras\",\"deals\"]","2026-10-07T22:05:59.000Z","2026-10-08T05:10:27.526Z","2026-10-08T05:10:33.025Z","published",null,[24,30],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"The dek promises 'palm vein scanners' but the body never mentions the Eufy FamiLock E34 (the only palm-vein product in the source) — introduce that lock with its actual price ($195.99, down from $279.99), and fix the smart-lock section's $89.99 price for the Eufy C220 (should be $94.97 per source) so the stated 'as much as 44%' discount actually reconciles with the price given, since $89.99 from $169.99 is a 47% cut, not 44%.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"The line 'Eufy's lineup, including its cameras and locks, stores footage locally' is inaccurate since the C220 and FamiLock E34 discussed are fingerprint\u002Fpalm-vein deadbolts with no camera or footage to store — limit the local-storage\u002Fno-subscription claim to Eufy's cameras (and the video-equipped E330, if mentioned) rather than lumping in these locks.","deals",[36,37,38,34],"prime-day","smart-home","security-cameras",[40],{"name":41,"url":42},"Lifehacker","https:\u002F\u002Flifehacker.com\u002Ftech\u002Flast-minute-best-smart-home-deals-october-prime-day-2026?utm_medium=RSS",0,{"sections":45},[46,51,56,61,65,70,75,80,85,89,94,99,104,109],{"name":47,"slug":48,"count":49,"latest_published_at":50},"AI","ai",6518,"2026-10-08T11:00:00.000Z",{"name":52,"slug":53,"count":54,"latest_published_at":55},"Security","security",912,"2026-10-08T10:30:00.000Z",{"name":57,"slug":58,"count":59,"latest_published_at":60},"Policy","policy",475,"2026-10-08T14:04:42.000Z",{"name":62,"slug":34,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Deals",461,"2026-10-08T10:22:14.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Hardware","hardware",223,"2026-10-08T08:30:04.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Science","science",187,"2026-10-07T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":78,"latest_published_at":79},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",175,"2026-10-08T09:16:05.000Z",{"name":81,"slug":82,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Software","software",113,"2026-10-07T18:10:00.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":87,"count":83,"latest_published_at":88},"Startups","startups","2026-10-07T23:36:57.000Z",{"name":90,"slug":91,"count":92,"latest_published_at":93},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",105,"2026-10-07T16:59:11.000Z",{"name":95,"slug":96,"count":97,"latest_published_at":98},"General","general",61,"2026-10-07T22:00:24.000Z",{"name":100,"slug":101,"count":102,"latest_published_at":103},"Gaming","gaming",56,"2026-10-07T12:00:00.000Z",{"name":105,"slug":106,"count":107,"latest_published_at":108},"Reviews","reviews",33,"2026-10-05T11:57:17.000Z",{"name":110,"slug":111,"count":112,"latest_published_at":113},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
