Ready or not, it's time to shop for the holidays. Black Friday sales are well underway at Amazon and Best Buy, offering some of the best prices we've seen all year on some holiday must-haves. If you've been thinking about getting a video doorbell, there's a great deal in store at Amazon.

As of Nov. 21, the Google Nest Video Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen, Snow) is on sale at Amazon for only $98, down from the standard price of $179.99. That means you'll be in for a 46% discount and a savings of $81.99. Not only is this the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon, it beats the Black Friday sale price at Google's online storefront.

The wired Google Nest Video Doorbell gives you an uninterrupted view of your front door with no charging required. With the free Google Home app, you'll be able to get instant notifications when someone comes to the door. But instead of getting non-stop notifications every time a leaf blows by, Google uses smart detection to tell the difference between a package, animal, or car. With the free app, you get access to the previous three hours of activity, with two-second previews and five-minute clips of important events.

The doorbell also allows for two-way audio, so you can let your friend know you'll be outside in two minutes or let the delivery person know it's ok to leave the package on the front porch. You can also select a pre-recorded response.

Amazon isn't messing around with sale prices on Google home security devices this Black Friday. Not only does Amazon have the lowest sale price on the Nest Video Doorbell, the retailer also beats others by offering 30% off the Google Nest Indoor Security Cam. Together, you could be making some serious improvements to your home security system this winter.

If you're shopping Black Friday sales and expect packages to arrive on your doorstep in the next few weeks, upgrade to the Google Nest Doorbell and keep an eye on your porch. With the sale price at Amazon, you'll be scoring a sweet 46% discount, spending just $98 instead of the typical $179.99. Now that's a smart deal for a smart home.
