Whether you rent or own, your home is your safe space where you can always retreat after a long day in the outside world. So it can be important for your peace of mind to keep watch over your front door to check for important packages and see who's ringing your doorbell before you open the door. Thanks to today's deal at Amazon, you can keep a close eye on your doorstep while getting a deep discount.

As of Feb. 21, the Arlo Essential video doorbell is just $78.40 at Amazon, marked down from the typical price of $199.99. That's a savings of $121.59 or a discount of 61%, and this item's lowest price ever.

With a 180-degree viewing angle, you'll get a clear view of what's happening at your doorstep, whether it's a delivery you've been waiting on or the dog walker coming in for a visit. One of the best features of the Arlo Essential video doorbell is that installation doesn't involve any wiring, so setup is simple. Once the doorbell is up and running, you'll get a video call on your phone when it detects motion so you can use the two-way audio to both hear and speak with any visitors (and see them in HD).

The doorbell also uses Arlo Foresight which begins capturing video once the doorbell detects motion, rather than once visitors ring the doorbell. You can also pre-record quick reply messages and send them off should you be too busy to avert your attention to chatting in real time. If you want more security features, such as 30 days' video recordings saved in the cloud or emergency response capability, you can upgrade to one of Arlo's Secure plans.

To ensure the Arlo Essential works all year round, the doorbell is weather resistant so there's no concern should the weather turn frigid or far too hot. When the battery is running low, you can easily remove the doorbell and quickly recharge it.

Whether you'd like to keep an eye on your porch while at the office or while you head off on a spring break vacation, the Arlo Essential video doorbell provides peace of mind paired with easy installation. Thanks to today's deal, you can score the video doorbell for just $78.40 at Amazon.
