There are two peak times for burglaries: during the summer holidays and right now, when the afternoons are dark and the nights feel longer. However, an easy deterrent that can help protect your home from unwanted visitors is investing in a top-notch home security system. Right now is the perfect time to pick one up at a bargain price in the Black Friday sales, with brands like Reolink offering some amazing deals.

Reolink is offering up to 50% off its top security solution on Amazon from 19th November right through until 3rd December. They have a huge number of impressive products to help secure your home if you’re going away this Christmas. We’ve rounded up the three most popular options that are a brilliant quick fix to protect your flat or house this winter.

The Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi, a 4K dual-lens floodlight camera with 180-degree panoramic view, has been reduced from £199.99 to £139.99. Launching in July, this is a rare opportunity to snap up one of the latest innovations in home security for £50 off.

What sets this gadget apart from other security cameras is its 4K UHD resolution and expansive 180-degree panoramic view. What that means is that it offers a clear view of driveways or a back garden with no blind spots. It also includes a clever local AI video search, so when an alert about a suspicious white van goes up on the roads WhatsApp group, you can type in‘white van’ to quickly search through the footage. The best part is you don’t need a subscription to access this feature.

If it’s a wireless camera with a long battery life you’re after, then the Reolink Altas PT Ultra is for you. It is a 4K battery/solar camera with 360-degree coverage and a 10-second pre-event recording feature. It can deliver 8 days of continuous recording, or 500 days of battery life based on recording 300 seconds of daily video.

It offers all-angle surveillance coverage with no blind spots. It also automatically detects, follows and records moving objects in the camera’s field of view, and will alert you when it spots something.

But don’t worry about being inundated with false alarms about a curious fox as it can detect between people, animals and vehicles. You will only be alerted about important events, plus there are no subscription fees involved.

Right now it is reduced by 50% from £239.99 to £119.99, a deal you certainly don’t want to miss out on.

If you live in a flat or a small terraced house, a video doorbell camera will do the job of keeping your property protected and tracking your Christmas parcels. The Reolink Battery Doorbell is a 2K/4MP video doorbell camera with head-to-toe video and has been reduced from £119.99 to £83.99.

It’s completely wireless, making it extremely easy to install, and has smart detection for people, vehicles and packages. This will send an alert to your phone whenever relevant motion is detected.

Whether you live in a busy city like London or a sleepy village in Yorkshire, burglaries can still happen. Investing in a top-notch security system is the best way to protect your home and make you feel more confident about going away for a few nights over Christmas.
