The Baseus Security PrimeSentinel U2 Pro Outdoor 3K Dual Camera is $149.99 in the US at the time of writing, according to 9to5Toys, which says the price runs through the official Baseus storefront on Amazon. Baseus lists the camera at $279.99 on its own store, so the drop is $130, and Baseus itself shows the same $149.99 price after a code, “URPRO”, at checkout.
How much is the Baseus U2 Pro now?
Baseus sells the camera for $279.99 USD on its US store, and The Verge reported the same $279.99 price when the camera went on sale at Amazon in the US in October. Today the Baseus page shows “$130 OFF” and a $149.99 price after entering the code URPRO, with a note that the sale ends soon. No end date is given, so prices can change at any time.
9to5Toys describes the Amazon offer as the first discount on this model, a 46% markdown from the $280 launch price, and quotes $149.99 shipped. Its summary line also cites $139.99 as a new all-time low, so the Amazon number may differ slightly depending on the listing and any coupon. Check the final price at checkout before you pay.

What does the camera do?
The U2 Pro pairs two cameras in one body. A fixed 3K camera watches one area all the time, while a second 3K camera pans and tilts through 360 degrees and tracks movement, according to Baseus. The feature Baseus leads with is a motorized spotlight that follows a moving person, which lights them up for a clearer night video and signals that they have been noticed.
Other details from the maker and the coverage:
- Full-color night vision and up to 8x zoom, according to 9to5Toys
- Dual motion sensors plus AI recognition for people, pets and vehicles, with summaries of detected events sent to your phone
- A detachable solar panel that charges a 7,800mAh battery, per 9to5Toys, and The Verge cites a 3W panel and a battery rated for up to 150 days of use depending on activity
- Local storage on a microSD card of up to 512GB, sold separately, with no monthly fee, as 9to5Toys describes it
- Live view through Amazon Alexa or Google Home, according to The Verge
Baseus also says installation takes about two minutes, using a wall or ceiling mount.
Who should buy it?
This suits owners of a house or yard who want a wireless outdoor camera that needs no power cable, and who would rather keep footage on their own memory card than pay a subscription. The tracking spotlight is the main reason to choose it over a plain fixed camera, since it works as a visible deterrent as well as a recorder.
It is less suited to people who want a camera to run on wired power around the clock, or who need cloud storage as the main backup. The card is not included, so budget for one. Solar charging also depends on how much sun the panel gets where you mount it, and busy areas will drain the battery faster, as The Verge notes.
What to check before buying
- Confirm the price on the Amazon listing and at Baseus, because the two can differ and the code may be needed on the Baseus site.
- Buy the right model: the PrimeSentinel U2 Pro Outdoor 3K Dual Camera, not another Baseus camera with a similar name.
- Add a microSD card if you want local recordings.
- Check your Wi-Fi reaches the spot where you plan to mount it.
Next step: open the Baseus product page and the Amazon listing side by side, compare the final checkout totals, and read the Baseus specification list before ordering.
