OK, we have to take a moment to apologize. Just last week, we told you how awesome the Yi Dome Camera is. We have nothing to apologize for there, of course — it really is awesome! This affordable home security camera is about one-third the price of a Nest Cam, but it has an awesome feature you won’t find on any Nest product: You can pan around a room or zoom in and out using the app on your iPhone or Android phone, meaning one camera can see every nook and cranny in any room. The thing we need to apologize for is the fact that we had no idea it was going to be Amazon’s deal of the day this week, dropping the cam’s price to its lowest point in a long time. If you bought a Yi Dome Camera last week, email Amazon and see if they’re willing to issue a partial refund. And if you didn’t buy one last week, definitely grab one (or several) at today’s $40.59 sale price. Trust us, it’s not going to be this low again anytime soon.
