Smart home security
Home security is one of the most active smart home categories and consistently sees sale activity during EOFY at The Good Guys. The most common starting points are video doorbells and outdoor security cameras.Smart home security devices available include:
Video doorbells: replace a standard doorbell with a camera-equipped unit that sends notifications and live video to a smartphone when someone approaches. Most models include two-way audio, night vision and motion detection. Ring and eufy are the two most widely available brands at The Good Guys.
Security cameras: fixed or pan-tilt models for indoor and outdoor monitoring. Features to compare include resolution (1080p or 2K), field of view, colour night vision, local versus cloud storage and whether a subscription is required for recording.
Smart locks: replace traditional door locks with keypad, fingerprint or smartphone-controlled alternatives. Useful for households where keys are commonly forgotten or for allowing temporary access without sharing physical keys.
Smart alarm systems: integrate motion sensors, contact sensors and a central hub. eufy and Ring both offer DIY alarm kits that work without a professional monitoring service.
Smart speakers and displays
Smart speakers provide voice control for music, smart home devices, timers, reminders and information queries. The two dominant platforms are Google (Google Nest Mini, Nest Audio, Nest Hub) and Amazon (Echo Dot, Echo, Echo Show). Apple HomePod covers Apple ecosystem users.Smart displays add a screen to the smart speaker format, allowing video calls, recipe display, security camera monitoring and visual responses to voice queries. Google Nest Hub and Amazon Echo Show are the main options at The Good Guys.Choosing between Google and Amazon depends primarily on which ecosystem the rest of your household devices use:
Google ecosystem: integrates naturally with Android phones, Chromecast and Google Nest devices. Strong for households using Gmail, Google Calendar and YouTube.
Amazon Alexa: integrates more broadly with third-party smart home devices and has the most extensive skill ecosystem. Strong for households with mixed device brands.
Apple HomeKit: the strongest choice for households using iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Supported by HomePod and HomePod mini.
Smart lighting and plugs
Smart lighting and smart plugs are typically the lowest-cost entry points into a connected home and can be used without a hub on most current platforms.

Smart plugs: plug into an existing power outlet and allow remote on/off control and energy monitoring for connected appliances. Useful for lamps, fans and heaters that would otherwise be manual-only.

Home security devices protect property, monitor entry points and record activity at access points. Security cameras deter break-in attempts and provide footage if an incident occurs.
Smart locks add an extra layer of access control beyond physical keys. Modern smart security systems allow monitoring and management from anywhere via smartphone app, providing real-time alerts and the ability to grant temporary access remotely. For households travelling regularly or with valuables on premises, a connected security setup is one of the highest-utility smart home categories.
The right smart camera depends on intended use. Outdoor cameras need weather-resistance ratings (IP65 or higher) and infrared night vision. Indoor cameras for pet monitoring suit smaller form factors with two-way audio.
Baby monitors typically include enhanced privacy controls and lullaby playback. Key features across all formats are motion detection sensitivity, mobile app alerts, local versus cloud storage options, and resolution (1080p as a minimum, 2K or 4K for detailed identification).

Video doorbells are one of the most practical entry points into smart home security. They let you see and speak with visitors in real time, monitor parcel deliveries, and receive alerts when motion is detected at the front door.
Most current video doorbells include two-way audio, cloud or local storage options, and integration with smart speakers for hands-free announcements. They also integrate smoothly with other smart devices, allowing automated lighting, sirens or notifications to trigger when motion is detected. See the smart home security guide for current model comparisons.
