- Home security cameras have gotten more and more affordable over the years, but lower-end models typically come with several compromises compared to pricier alternatives.
- The YI Smart Home Camera 3 is a rare example of an ultra-affordable home camera that doesn’t compromise, and right now Amazon is running the best deal we’ve ever seen on this model.
- A special coupon code slashes the price of the camera to just $19.50, plus there’s a special deal that bundles 6 months of cloud storage for free.

Remember when the $200 Nest Cam first came out and it seemed like a great value? Unfortunately for Nest, those days are long gone. It’s a great camera that ties in nicely with the rest of Nest’s smart home products, but $200 is an absolutely absurd price to pay for a single home security camera when there are dozens upon dozens of alternatives out there that are just as good for a fraction of the price.
Today, we’re going to focus on just one of the aforementioned alternatives: the Yi Smart Home Camera 3. It’s one of the best-selling home cameras out there because it offers all the features you might need for a shockingly low price. You get a great app, 1080p resolution, 2-way audio, motion-detection, and even advanced features like human detection and sound analytics, all for just $27. If you grab one today on Amazon though, you can save a bundle plus get a terrific added bonus.
Use the coupon code GAXSJC8C at checkout and you’ll slash the price of this already-affordable home security camera to just $19.50. What’s more, this is a special bundle that includes 6 months of YI’s paid cloud storage service for free. There’s no other camera that even comes close to matching this value, but the deal is only available until the end of the month.
