Smart Home Security on a $50 Budget – 2025
By Apartment Amor | October 30, 2025
You don't need $500 to be safe. Here's a complete smart setup for under $50 that stopped a break-in in my building.
1. Blink Mini 2 – $40
1080p. Two-way talk. Plug-in. No subscription for live view.
2. Free App: Alfred Home Security
Turn your old phone into a motion camera. Free.
3. Fake CCTV Sticker – $3
Deters 70% of thieves. Stick on window.
Total: $43. Smarter than $300 systems.
