Prime Day is almost here (it’s tomorrow, for anyone keeping score), and the deals are already flying left and right. Not to be outdone, ANNKE has released a list of 30%-off discounts for some of its 4K security cameras, color night vision security cameras, and more, available now through Wednesday, June 23. Read on for complete details.
The first four ANNKE security cameras featured in today’s article are capable of recording footage 24 hours a day, seven days a week; like most of the cameras in ANNKE’s lineup, there is no monthly subscription to use this 24/7 continuous recording feature. All footage is stored as compressed H.265 HEVC files to save on space, there are no monthly fees to store your footage, and aside from the NC400, all listed cameras support expanded SD card storage. Finally, these four cameras from ANNKE feature motion detection, they have an IP67 rating with temperature tolerances ranging from -22°F to 140°F, and they work with ONVIF, RTSP, MJPEG, FFmpeg, and FTP server technologies.
ANNKE NC400 and NC800 color night vision security cameras
ANNKE’s NC400 and NC800 are a pair of color night vision security cameras aimed at different price points and needs. The NC400 is equipped with a 4MP lens that shoots footage in 2K and it costs quite a bit less, while the NC800 uses an f/1.0 super aperture to capture full 4K video. The main draw for both of these cameras is color night vision that can make footage shot during dusk hours appear almost as clearly as if it was filmed during the day.

This year’s Amazon Prime Day – well, two-days – is upon us once again. Peak shopping days like these are seen by many as a chance to grab a bargain on a new gadget, toy or appliance. But if you’re planning on taking advantage of the deals on offer, you should be aware that there are plenty of scammers out there keen to take advantage of you as well.
Research conducted by Bolster Research already highlighted a sharp rise in Amazon-associated phishing scams in the run up to this year’s Prime Day. There’s already a lot of great advice around on how to protect yourself from scams and phishing attempts during peak shopping events. This year the e-commerce giant appears to have started enforcing the use multi-factor authentication (MFA) more rigorously to better protect its customers, now requiring a six-digit verification passcode or sign-in confirmation from a mobile app to shop. This added layer of security prevents fraudsters from gaining access to Amazon accounts using a customer’s password alone.
Virtually every data or account breach can be traced back to compromised passwords, with phishing being one of the most common attacks. Requiring a password plus one or more added credential – aka multi-factor authentication (MFA) – is a good way to prevent unauthorised account access. Better yet, go passwordless.
Online retailers have tended to shy away from adding security measures that will inject friction into the checkout process for fear that it will lead to higher levels of cart abandonment. For example, retailers in Europe pushed back hard against PSD2’s Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirement that took effect on 31 December 2020. However, modern MFA is seamless and secure, using smart authenticators like mobile push and smart phone biometrics, along with adaptive risk-based authentication to provide an almost invisible layer of security.
Not only does MFA ensure that your account and personal details are more secure, but it can also be a good way of helping to avoid scams. For example, if you were to follow a link in an ad or email that purports to be from Amazon, the lack of any MFA verification can be a red flag that the site is not genuine…
