Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is back—and while it’s no Prime Day , it still brings a solid lineup of discounts for anyone looking to snag big-ticket items for less. Running from March 25 through March 31, this seven-day sale is only in its second year but already feels like a decent excuse to shop. You don’t need to be a Prime member to grab deals, though Amazon claims members get “more and better” prices . If you don’t want to commit, the 30-day free trial might be worth it just for the week. Just set a reminder to cancel if you’re not planning on keeping it .
One of the more eye-catching markdowns right now is on the Arlo Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera (3-Pack) —it’s down to $217.78 from $449.99, which, according to price-trackers , is the lowest it’s ever been. This three-camera bundle is designed for people who want decent home security without a complicated install. Each camera is completely wire-free and captures 2K resolution video. That means the footage is sharp enough to see license plates or faces from a distance, and you can digitally zoom in without everything turning into a blur. They have built-in spotlights and color night vision, which kicks in when motion is detected, giving you a better view at night.
That said, these cameras don’t come with local storage unless you already own the Arlo Smart Hub ($99, down from $110), which lets you record to a USB drive . If you don’t, you’ll need an Arlo Secure plan —$7.99/month for a single camera or $17.99/month for unlimited ones. That subscription unlocks cloud recording, activity zones, advanced object detection, and smart alerts. You can also step up to a $24.99/month plan that adds 24/7 emergency response. On the plus side, the Pro 5S 2K works with Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, SmartThings (and Apple HomeKit if paired with a hub )—so it’s flexible if you’re already using smart home gear, according to this PCMag review .
