Tom's Guide reports that Amazon is already taking up to 60% off its most popular smart home devices, weeks before Black Friday arrives on November 27.

The standout deal is the Blink Outdoor 2K+, Amazon's newest outdoor security camera, marked down from $89 to $34 — a 62% discount that undercuts even the timing of the usual shopping event.

Other notable markdowns include the Blink Mini 2K+ at $16, the Ring Battery Doorbell at $44, and the Fire HD 10 tablet down 53% to $72.

The reversal here is timing: deals of this depth normally wait for the Black Friday window itself, yet they are live more than three weeks early. The Blink Outdoor 2K+ at $34 is a 62% cut on a camera that only recently launched, and the Blink Mini 2K+ 3-pack has dropped 61% from $109 to $43.

Tom's Guide notes the Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+ — down 52% to $38 — is its new winner for the best video doorbell on a budget, meaning a top-ranked pick is itself on sale.

Tom's Guide lists the full slate: Blink Mini 2K+ was $39 now $16; Blink Outdoor 2K+ was $89 now $34; Blink Arc with two cameras was $89 now $34; Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+ was $79 now $38; Ring Battery Doorbell was $99 now $44; Ring Wired Doorbell 2K Plus was $179 now $99; Ring Battery Doorbell 2K + Indoor Cam Plus was $159 now $104; Fire HD 10 was $154 now $72; and the Amazon Ember 50" 4-Series Fire TV was $399 now $309.

Tom's Guide details the hardware behind the prices.

The Blink Outdoor 2K+ records in 2K resolution, stores video locally or in the cloud, offers color vision in low light, and features two-way audio with noise cancellation, with smart person and vehicle notifications available via an optional Blink Subscription Plan.

The Blink Arc uses two cameras for a 180-degree panoramic view at nearly 6-megapixel resolution, though outdoor use needs a weather-resistant adapter and full 180-degree feeds require a Blink Subscription Plus Plan at $119/year.

The deals arrive just as BGR warns shoppers to think about ecosystem compatibility before buying.

BGR notes every smart home brand ships its own app, so the key is choosing a central platform — Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google, Samsung SmartThings, or Home Assistant — and checking that new devices support it.

BGR also cautions that ecosystems can be discontinued, citing the defunct Wink Hub, Revolv, and Lowe's Iris, and recommends Matter or open-source Home Assistant gear for long-term reliability.

Shoppers have a choice: buy now at these early prices, or wait to see whether November 27 brings anything deeper. Tom's Guide frames the current list as the best Amazon smart home device deals available now, covering Ring, Blink, Fire TV Stick, Fire Tablets and Fire TVs.

For anyone avoiding new-device pricing entirely, Gizmodo separately highlights Back Market's refurbished market, where a MacBook Air with Apple's M4 chip starts at $999 in Fair condition and a Nintendo Switch is $235 in Good — a reminder that the pre-Black Friday savings window is wider than one retailer.
