Looking to build a smart home security system on the cheap? Amazon’s deal of the day is on this Fire TV Stick and Blink XT2 Outdoor/Indoor Smart Security Camera bundle. It’s on sale for just $100, or $40 off its list price. That’s 29 percent off!

But act fast, this deal is only good until the end of the day.

Here’s how the bundle works: Simply plug the Fire TV Stick into one of your TV’s HDMI ports. That’s it: The streaming device will search for your home’s Wi-Fi network automatically and wait for you to log in.

Afterward, set up the Blink XT2 camera—which runs on two AA lithium batteries—wherever you’d like in your home and sync it to your Wi-Fi network as well. Then link the camera to the Fire TV Stick with the Alexa app on your smartphone. You don’t even need an Echo Dot to sync the pair.

Now just command the Alexa voice assistant whenever you want to check out the camera’s live feed. Just say, “Hey Alexa, show me the Blink XT2” and video of its activity will pop up on your TV. Blink will save hundreds of video clips in the cloud for a year for free. In addition, the Blink XT2 works as a two-way talk device, so you can speak to any wanted and unwanted guests, while it also has motion detection built-in.

Meanwhile, the Fire TV Stick, of course, has access to hundreds of streaming apps and channels, including Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, HBO, Starz, Showtime and more. You’ll find fun interactive settings like pop-up results for actor and director names via IMDb too.

It’s like getting a smart home entertainment and security system in one convenient bundle!

Still on the fence? Here’s what Amazon shoppers have to say about this bundle:

“Great job guys! I am the envy of my circle of friends with this power system,” wrote an excited five-star reviewer. “No wires! No complicated setup! Extremely easy installation and setup with the app on my phone and fire stick. I tell Alexa to show me a camera, it displays on the TV. When I tell her to stop the fire stick resumes my previous viewing activity. How awesome is that?!”

Another Amazon shopper, “This is so small that I placed it on a speaker and received a notification whenever the motion detector was activated. The camera captured small videos that I could watch later. I was horrified when I saw my petsitter dragging my poor dog off the couch and yelling at her because she was so scared of him. I terminated him immediately and will use this camera to monitor anyone else I hire to watch her.”

The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
