With the holidays coming up, many of us will start to hit the roads, traveling to loved ones and leaving our own homes empty. Whether you're gone for one day or one week, it's important to keep you're home protected while you're away. Investing in a home security camera is a great way to do so. We love the Blink Outdoor 4 security cam. It even makes for a great holiday gift. Since Amazon's Black Friday sale event kicks off tomorrow, the prices are super low.

Right now, Amazon has slashed the price of the single camera by 60%, bringing the cost to just $40. If you want a little more protection, the two pack is also on sale. Discounted by an impressive $105, the two-pack is down to only $75, making each one only $38. And for the ultimate secutirty package, the eight pack option is one sale, too. Save a whooping $380, knocking the price down to $250. This brings each camera to just $31. 

CNET's home security expert Tyler Lacoma checked out the Blink Outdoor 4 and praised it in basically every area: "The Blink Outdoor 4 occupies a sweet spot in the outdoor security world, a general-use cam ready for the elements and providing high-quality services with a simple-to-use interface." He also says that, while some of the specs aren't necessarily the best on the market, the cameras do very well for how much they cost and that the ease of use and installation are big benefits, too.
