If you bought a security camera from a big store like Best Buy, Target or Walmart, you're probably wondering if you can return a security cam or system there. You usually can, but you'll need to follow the store's specific policies about returns. For complex electronics like smart home products, that means you have about 30 days to return the product for some kind of refund (standard goods are 90 days, but the time period is shortened for home electronics). Bringing in the receipt can help, but it's not always necessary to complete the return, and stores have different policies. Some stores cu
How to Return Smart Home Devices to the Store or SellerIf you or someone else bought the device at a brick-and-mortar store, you should return it at that store or one near your location. If you bought online, you should visit the exact website the product was purchased from and request a return. Amazon, for example, typically has a 30-day return window like many stores.

If the box and seal are untouched, you're probably going to get a full refund. If you already opened the box and/or tried to use the device, then a restocking fee will be deducted from your return. This is usually around 15% of the purchase price. If you're online, you'll get a print label to ship the product back.
