What options do we have? 

The best home security camera systems are the ones that function both during the day and night. Besides, some cameras come loaded with add-on features to offer multi-fold protection, without burning your pocket much. There’s no doubt that you’ll be confused with the variety, but then there is no harm in trying a few options.  

·        Wyze Cam v3 

For those on a tight budget, this is by far one of the best picks among home security cameras. This camera’s quality isn’t the best on the market, but you can still record videos at a resolution of 1080p. We would particularly mention the cam’s color night vision, which is highly impressive. So, for anyone who wants something to fulfil their daily requirements, this is a good fit. You get free cloud storage for a fortnight when purchasing this. The clips usually don’t exceed 12 seconds, and the microSD card slot can be used to offer continuity in recording and creating time-lapse videos. Simply subscribe to Wyze Cam plus at no extra cost, if you wish to get access to a limitless length of videos and zero cool-down periods.  

·        Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight camera 

When looking to install any outdoor floodlight easily, the Arlo Pro 3 cam is the most suitable model that you can lay your hands on. It runs on battery power, so you can install this virtually almost anywhere, unlike Ring’s Floodlight cam. The only glitch is its short battery life, which you must work on by recharging timely. Or better still, invest in the optional solar panel, which usually helps the camera operate for longer periods. Quality-wise, this is a worthy buy! The digital pan-and-zoom was highly effective in identifying subjects as they moved across different places. Specifically, the 2000-lumen LEDs were equally great. Compatible with Google Assistant, Alexa, and IFTTT, the camera is completely weather resistant and offers decent night vision too.  

·        Nest cam (battery) 

A fairly well-designed battery-operated camera, its shape is rather simple and one of the easiest to install. Had it not been for the magnetic base, the installation would have been a tad difficult. Using the 1080p camera, capturing images both day and night is fairly easy. Also, the speakers and microphone are equally robust, which helps in conversing faster and smoother. The Nest Cam also offers almost 3 hours of rolling video storage, and that too for free! You can sign up for the subscription priced nominally, and enjoy familiar face detection ability, in addition to storing almost a month’s video content. 

·        Deep Sentinel 

For something that resorts to AI and professional monitors to detect intruders, the cam is quite obviously a tad pricey, compared to its counterparts! Design-wise, this camera looks quite exclusive. This is largely because the camera, after spotting an intruder, sends a live feed to a certain monitoring station. After hearing the alarm on the camera, a warning is sent to alerts a professional who is often stationed at the monitoring center., Police intervention could also follow, as and when felt necessary. In addition to the cameras, there’s a monthly fee that users need to pay too. The resolution of the video tops at 480p, since the smoothness of the video stream is more of a priority than the definition.  You can spend almost the same amount for the perfect home security system. But don’t expect the cameras to be monitored as proactively as Deep Sentinel. There’s nothing better than this brand when you are looking for an active tracking device. 

Wrapping Up
