Shine a light on bell ringers BeON Led Bulbs BeON Before breaking into a home, burglars will often knock or ring the bell to see if somebody’s home. But you don’t have to answer the door to scare
them off — just turning on a light is often enough to make them move on. And with BeON LED Bulbs, you don’t even need to be home to flick a switch. Starting at $199 for a set of three, these connected bulbs can perform a lot of neat tricks, including learning your lighting schedule to turn your lamps on and off even when you’re not home. And with an embedded microphone that can be trained to detect a doorbell, their most security minded feat is turning the lights on when it hears that familiar ding dong.

Taking a key and a keycode, and opening via Siri or the Schlage Sense app, the Bluetooth enabled deadbolt comes in a satin nickel or matte black finish to keep the look of the lock consistent with most handle sets.

A built in spotlight also enables color recording at night, and it has dual microphones for better audio. Plus, the Arlo Ultra’s
base station will be compatible with the company’s smart home security kit, due out later this year. All of this will cost you, though: A single camera with the hub is $399, and extra cameras are $299 each. And if you
want to save 4K videos, it’s an extra $1. 99 per camera per month, on top of the $9. 99 monthly plan, the latter of which is waived for the first year. The Nest Cam Indoor is the third generation of the celebrated Dropcam, and bumps up its predecessors' video quality to 1080p.
