Home Cameras

The Many Benefits of Today's Smart Home Cameras

Security cameras aren't just for offices and stores any longer. Today's security cams are smart, small, affordable, and a great addition to home security for anyone. Thanks to the latest mobile upgrades, they're also very easy and inexpensive to install anywhere you want! Here are a few of the smart features that make home cameras such a valuable addition to smart home security.

 

  • Excellent video: Today's security cams can easily take HD video with great clarity and lots of detail, making security footage useful in many situations. They also usually come with night vision capabilities so that they can capture video in the dark with no problems!

  • Sensors: Smart cams use motion sensors so that they only turn on and start recording video when something is moving around. This saves on power and video storage. Many cams have options where you can control sensor "zones" or adjust sensor strength so the cam isn't turned on by leaves, pets, etc.

  • Microphones: It's also common for cams to come with audio capabilities, so you can talk through the cam and hear a response in return. From scaring away burglars to saying good night to your pets when you're away from home, these audio capabilities have many different uses and are a welcome addition.

  • Free storage: While storage plans vary, most home camera brands off a limited amount of free cloud storage for video. For example, a cam may capture five minutes of video: That video will be uploaded to a cloud system, where it will stay for two weeks before being automatically deleted. This gives you time to view the video, download it, or note details as needed. Security plans usually let you pay for keeping video longer if necessary for your smart home security.
