Having too much security is never enough. Whether you’re moving into a new place or thinking of upping the security factor of your existing abode, a security camera can help provide you with the right amount of mental peace. Long gone are the days of having security cameras that only swiveled on their spot and offered a surveilling eye. Now, we have smart cameras that are offering all that and much more through the availability of Wi-Fi integration and other small, nifty benefits. 

To make sure that your investment counts in the best way possible, it would be ideal to have a Wi-Fi system that not only extends across your living space but also provides adequate speeds to allow seamless viewing across your devices. A strong contender with robust internet quality is AT&T Fiber Internet. AT&T enjoys a massive presence all across America and through years of maintaining their brilliance, the company has assured top-notch connection quality ideal for security systems. 

Now, without further ado, let’s check out the best security cams that’ll be a worthy addition to your home security devices!

Wyze Cam (2020)

Starting with the best and most affordable option is the Wyze Cam. A simple device that performs exactly what is required of a security camera. Coming in at $32 on sites like Amazon, the Wyze Cam has a box-ish size factor with a whopping 1080p resolution. That’s not all, the Wyze Cam comes with live streaming for parties, motion detection, night vision, and all this bundled with a clean, concise app that’ll go easy on your eyes. 

Wyze offers 14 days of free motion-based cloud storage but if you’re not willing to pay up for subscription charges after that time duration then the cam has a SD card slot built into it that you could take advantage of. The SD card will have to be bought separately though. 

Wyze Cam Pan v2

Another stellar entry by Wyze but one that is geared more toward the inside space. Introducing the Wyze Cam Pan v2, a poetically named home security camera that offers panning as well as tilting to monitor those sharp spaces around your space. Wyze integrated a handy dandy Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, depending on what device you choose to pair it with, into the security cam as well for enhanced accessibility. 

Granted the Cam Pan is a smidge more expensive than the regular cam but it is mechanically superior and offers additional features such as two-way talk, an alarm, and even the ability to rotate 360 degrees horizontally. Free cloud storage is the cherry on top for this indoor smartness. 

Arlo Video Doorbell

Not exactly a security camera but equipped with features similar to one is the Arlo Video Doorbell coming in as our third entry to this listicle. Even though the doorbell is limited to one field of view it does provide a 180-degree pan view along with motion zones and an integrated siren for emergencies. Sliding in at $150, this doorbell is definitely not on the cheap side but given the amount of features it packs inside of it, the price tag is justified. Because it is basically a doorbell, the body of it has been constructed keeping outdoor elements in mind. This has resulted in a sturdy smart device ready to get work done without faltering. 

Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired)

Google’s main entry into surveillance devices and security systems in general, the Nest Cam offers all that the Silicon Valley giant could possibly stuff into one technological marvel. Since it’s wired, the area where this device can be installed and subsequently used is limited but that is not to say that its range cannot be extended eventually. The Nest Cam comes in four unique colors, similar to those that come with the Google Home. 

Owing to the regular theme of their devices, the Nest Cam comes with features aplenty. There’s object identification, activity zones, and even integration with the Google app, all of which offer a good bit of accessibility to make sure you get the best from Google in terms of enhanced security. 

Arlo Pro 4

One of the more pricey options out of our helpful little bunch. The Arlo Pro 4 keeps things spicy by offering a resolution of up to 2K and a 160-degree field of view. It could honestly pass for a regular-use video camera had it not needed to be installed on a wall. To sweeten the pot, Arlo offers full-color night vision, a built-in siren, and even a flashlight all packaged nicely into the Pro 4. 

Conclusion

That’s a wrap on all the devices we have to offer our two cents on. Rest assured, all these creations are spectacular in their own right and deserve at least a view on their respective platforms even if you decide to side with something else eventually. Check them out on sites like Amazon or Best Buy and if you’re shy of paying the full price then look out for sales pertaining to them when the holiday season pulls up.
