Whether you're away from home a lot or just want to always know who is around, a good security camera is important and can offer a whole lot of peace of mind. Great cameras can be expensive and either wiring them in or charging batteries can be a pain, though. That's why this two-pack of the Eufy SoloCam S40 for $220 at Best Buy is so great -- you get two cameras that are powered by the sun while saving $80 off their usual price. Considering these cameras for $150 apiece at Amazon, that's a solid saving. Better yet, if you're a My Best Buy Plus or Total member, you'll get a further $20 off, dropping the two-pack down to $200. The deal ends today, Aug. 12, though, so don't wait around too long to snag it.
