Why Snag Smart Home Security Cameras This Black Friday

Why Black Friday Deals Shouldn’t Just Be About TVs and Gadgets

When most people think of Black Friday, they picture large‑screen TVs, gaming consoles, or kitchen appliances. But the opportunities for home security gear are substantial. Increased competition and inventory clearance mean deeper discounts on wireless systems than at most other times of year. 

Here are four key reasons you should keep an eye on wireless security now:

#1 You’ll likely get better pricing.

Since many brands reserve their steepest discounts for Black Friday or Cyber Monday, buying then often means you get more features for the price. Lower cost helps when you’re also budgeting for moving costs, landscaping, and all the other new‑home expenses.

#2 You’ll be ready ahead of the season.

If you install now, you’ll have your setup tested and optimized before holiday gatherings or trips. That means your home isn’t going into the busiest season of the year without security coverage.

#3 You can mix “smart home” convenience with protection.

Wireless home security cameras do more than just record video. Many offer two‑way talk, motion alerts, live feeds on your phone, and app control. With the right deal, you’re getting convenience and security in one.

According to a US News survey on home security conducted in August 2025, 61% of homeowners check their home cameras multiple times a day, and 50% believe that security systems should be standard in newly built homes.

Given that kind of interest, smart homeowners are using Black Friday to lock in value.

#4 Pick the right device for your new home setup.

Since you’re a new homeowner, you likely want wireless, scalable, and easy-to-install systems. Consider:

• Toucan Wireless Video Doorbell V3 – battery‑powered, wire‑free, includes chime, night‑vision, motion detection.

• Toucan Wireless Security Camera S4 – outdoor or indoor placement, 2K video, no hub required.  

• Toucan Security Floodlight Camera – wired, combines bright LED floodlight with 1080p video, ideal for front yard or driveway.

This combination gives new homeowners flexibility and reliability. Wireless cameras let you move or adjust coverage easily, while wired cameras provide constant monitoring without worrying about battery life.

6 Tips for Recent Movers

You’ve got new keys, a new address, and maybe a handful of boxes still in the garage. While you’re getting settled, here are some practical tips to secure your home quickly before holiday travel:

#1 Map your key entry points.

Identify all entrances, including the front door, back door, garage, patio, and basement access. Place wired cameras like the Floodlight Camera in high-traffic exterior areas and wireless cameras on doors or areas that need flexible coverage. 

On the other hand, a doorbell camera like the V3 covers visitors and packages. This ensures no blind spots while taking advantage of both types of technology.

#2 Use motion‑detection zones smartly.

One benefit of modern wireless cameras is that you can customize motion zones within your app. That means you can avoid alerts from street traffic or tree movement and focus on real activity around your home. 

For instance, set a zone on your back door or driveway rather than on the street. This reduces false alerts and gives you better signal when something matters.

#3 Make sure your WiFi and power setup can handle it.

Wireless cameras still need reliable WiFi and power (either battery or wiring). Since you’re in a new home, check that the placement you choose has a strong WiFi signal. 

For battery‑powered models, charge them fully and check how often they’ll need recharging. For wired models (like some floodlight versions), ensure the wiring passes code and is installed safely.

#4 Set up mobile alerts and two‑way talk.

Once your camera is active, use the app to enable instant notifications. Test speaking through two‑way talk while you’re at home, so you know how clear it is. Also, walk away from your home’s WiFi (use mobile data) to test remote access. You want to feel comfortable seeing live feed from your phone when you’re away.

And because many homeowners now view their security cameras many times a day as mentioned above, practicing remote access now means you’ll be comfortable later.

#5 Secure your account and cloud footage.

When you set up your camera system, use a strong password and turn on two‑factor authentication if available. Even though you’re physically protecting your home, digital security matters too. 

The market trend shows services and cloud storage are becoming significant parts of home‑security spending.

#6 Check holiday travel and package notifications.

If you know you’ll travel over the holidays, consider setting your camera notifications to “travel mode” where you’ll be alerted if motion is detected or someone approaches. For new homeowners, one often overlooked benefit is using the doorbell camera to watch for package deliveries or unexpected activity. With wireless systems, this feature is easy to enable.

And because Black Friday deals often include bundles, you can grab extra cameras at a discount and cover rooms, garages, or even side yards.

Final Thoughts

As someone new to homeownership, you’re juggling many priorities — paint swatches, lawn care, unpacking boxes. But layering in smart, wireless home security now gives you both peace and proactive protection. Black Friday deals can bring devices like the Toucan Wireless Video Doorbell V3, Wireless Security Camera S4, and the Toucan Floodlight Camera into budget‑friendly reach.

Mapping entry points, enabling smart features, and locking down both physical and digital access set an important foundation for your home. As mentioned earlier, more than half of U.S. homes now have at least one security camera, and smart‑home security systems are being taken seriously.

So take advantage of the deals. Get a combination of wired and wireless home security cameras. Install early. And enjoy your new home with one less worry.
