The Best Home Security Cameras of 2024, With its simple installation, modern design, and smart features, SimpliCam by SimpliSafe is our top pick for home security cameras.
Today’s security cameras can do more than just monitor your surroundings. Some can detect when regular visitors pop by your house. Others can connect to security monitoring centers so agents can deter intruders. With so many options and advancements in technology, how do you choose the right one for your home?
Our experts can help. We’ve rounded up security cameras from all the big brands, tested them, and ranked them based on their features and ability to protect your home. SimpliCam topped our list with its simple installation process, standout features, and Active Guard protection, which is included in its professional monitoring plans. But we’ve also got plenty of standouts from other home security brands like Lorex, Ring, and ADT. Let’s take a look.
Side-by-side comparison of Ring and Lorex cameras
What Are Security Cameras? Security cameras are surveillance devices used to visually monitor an area. There are indoor and outdoor security cameras. They also come with a variety of features, from live streaming to a mobile phone to facial recognition. Recording is also a vital feature of security cameras; some cameras record locally, but most use cloud storage. Given the variety of options, it’s important to compare security cameras before deciding on one.
The Best Home Security Cameras of 2024, Summarized
Breaking Down The Best Home Security Cameras
1. SimpliCam – Top Security Camera Overall
An easy-to-use home security camera that works seamlessly with SimpliSafe security systems.
Why is the SimpliCam the Best Overall?
If you came here thinking our top pick would be some high-tech security camera that has all the features you could want in one, you’re wrong. It’s actually the opposite. After testing the SimpliCam indoor camera from SimpliSafe, we decided that it’s the best option for indoor security because of its simplicity coupled with its reliability. It’s the least flashy of the three security cameras from SimpliSafe, but it kept watch over our living room without fail. The set up took less than three minutes, and that was all we needed to add reliable video security to our home.
Gabe holding the SimpliCam
We recommend using the SimpliCam with a SimpliSafe security system. It has two-way talk, a clear 1080p HD resolution, night vision, and motion detection – all features you’ll need to monitor your home. With a SimpliSafe system and the right monitoring plan, though, SimpliSafe’s monitoring center can also use the camera to verify alerts and streamline the response.
SimpliSafe’s SimpliCam
We did notice some potential friction points with SimpliCam. For one, it lacks local storage. You’d need a cloud subscription to keep recordings. But that’s why we recommend getting a SimpliSafe system as well. With the Core plan ($31.99 per month), you can store footage from up to 10 cameras, enjoy professional monitoring with cellular backup for your security system, and the video verification mentioned above. Sure, that’s pricier than Ring’s $10-per-month unlimited cloud storage, but you know you’d be safe even if you don’t check up on your cameras often.
But it gets better. With recording for up to 10 cameras, you can add the other SimpliSafe indoor camera called Smart Alarm for live video monitoring. In addition to seeing live feeds, agents will be able to use two-way talk to scare away the intruder or check on you. It creeped us out a little when the live video monitoring feature kicked in during testing; imagine how a real burglar would feel.
The SimpliSafe outdoor camera supports the same feature in conjunction with facial recognition. So anytime a stranger approaches your house, SimpliSafe will proactively protect it. Outdoor monitoring requires a pricier monitoring plan though (starting at $49.99 per month). If that’s in your budget, great; if not, the $31.99 Core plan will do just fine.
2. Lorex – Easiest to Use Security Camera
High-end Wi-Fi and IP cameras with 4K color and night vision
Are Lorex Cameras Easy to Use?
What we like about Lorex is that most of its cameras are well-built. Many Lorex cameras are vandal-proof – such as the ones pictured below – and have a heavy-duty metal casing and thick protected wires that aren’t easy to cut. But besides their hardiness, we liked how easy it was to use Lorex cameras thanks to their local recording capabilities.
Lorex Cameras
Most Lorex cameras come with a DVR or NVR, and they can record non-stop. Once the recorder is full, they simply write over the oldest clips. We didn’t miss a thing with these Lorex cameras. We had to run cables from our cameras to the recorder though, which took half a day for our system of four Lorex cameras. But it’s all worth it; once they were all set up, we didn’t have to do anything else. We simply enjoyed the 4K resolution, facial recognition, and person detection working in the background to keep our house burglar-free.
Lorex 4k Dual Lens Camera
One bestselling home-use Lorex camera is the 1080p HD Outdoor Wireless Security Camera. It’s an affordable but dependable camera, retailing for as low as $149. We think this camera really represents Lorex well.
The hardware is impressive. It has a 115-foot night vision range, meaning, it can see as far as 115 feet out in near-total darkness. It can record audio and video, it has a 1080p HD resolution, and the construction itself was solid and rugged. It wasn’t perfect – we would have liked to see a wider field of vision than its 118-degree lens and it doesn’t work in temperatures below zero. However, it’s a perfectly reliable and budget-friendly option, which is true for most Lorex cameras.
The 1080p HD Outdoor Wireless Security Camera is not your only option. Lorex has a deep catalog of security cameras to choose from, and you can mix and match them to build a system that suits your needs. There are even bulk options, with packages featuring up to eight cameras.
3. Ring – Top for DIY Installation
Video doorbells and weatherproof cameras powered by batteries, mains electricity, or the Sun
Why Ring Has the Best Security Camera Selection Overall
Ring Indoor Cam (2nd Gen)
Ring offers four types of security cameras, three of which work outdoors. They are the:
Four doesn’t sound like a lot of options, but there are sub-variants available. For example, for the Indoor Cam, there’s the base model and a model that can pan and tilt. For the Stick Up Cam, there’s a base and Pro model. The base model can either be wired, powered by a battery pack, or plugged into a solar panel. The Pro model has battery and solar options. The same is true for the Spotlight Cam and Floodlight Cam, each with Plus (base model) and Pro versions with different power options available.
We loved the hardware variety, but when it comes to recording, Ring cameras aren’t the most flexible. There’s only one option, which is to get a Ring Home cloud subscription for $4.99 per month if you have just one camera or $10 per month for as many cameras as you have. That’s actually one of the best prices on the market, next only to Nest’s Nest Aware subscription that costs $8 per month for unlimited cameras.
Ring Spotlight Cam Pro with its light on
The Spotlight Cam is Ring’s most versatile camera. As the name suggests, it has built-in spotlights, which you can program to turn on when it detects motion. A 110 decibel siren is also there. Those are great for deterring crime, except that you’d have to manually trigger the siren using the Ring app. We guess Ring doesn’t want our neighbors filing noise complaints in case there are any false alarms.
The spotlight and the siren were the Spotlight Cam’s primary crime-deterrents. It has more advanced features to help with monitoring. For example, it has 3D motion detection that uses radar to accurately track an intruder’s movement. It can also enable Bird’s Eye View – a simulated top-view of your property that plots the steps of anyone who sets foot on your property.
Not all Ring cameras are super-advanced, though. There are also ones that are more low-tech but very reliable and affordable. One example is the Ring Indoor Cam, Ring’s most affordable security camera to date. The Ring Indoor Cam is comparable to our top-pick, the SimpliCam. It plugs into an outlet, streams and records videos, and detects motion. And at just over $50, it’s an affordable option for those who prefer Ring’s catalog of Wi-Fi cameras.
4. ADT – Most Complete Security System with Cameras
Why ADT Cameras are Best if You’re Looking for a Complete Home Security System
Closeup of the ADT Outdoor Camera
As you probably know, ADT offers more than just security cameras. In fact, you can only buy ADT security cameras as a part of the ADT home security system. That makes a lot of sense, though. Its alarm monitoring is easily one of ADT’s best traits. By pairing its cameras with a monitored security system, you get a cohesive system that detects, alerts you of, and deters crime.
One of ADT’s premium monitoring features that we tested to work well with its cameras is called video verification. While the monitoring center doesn’t monitor cameras, monitoring agents can verify alerts from ADT sensors using live camera footage. Verified alerts are often prioritized by police and emergency responders. That’s one example of how ADT cameras work with ADT systems, and why we recommend ADT if you’re looking for a well-rounded security system.
ADT Home Security Outdoor Camera
Considering it’s a home security brand, ADT has a good selection of security cameras to choose from. There are the ADT-branded security cameras that are rugged and reliable. They are waterproof and dustproof and will continue filming no matter how hot or cold the weather gets. However, the video quality is underwhelming, and it’s missing some advanced features that other cameras on this list have.
We much prefer ADT’s newer security camera offering. The cameras are from Google Nest; you’ll meet them later on because they also made this list. The difference if you buy them from ADT though is that you’ll get professional installation, which is required for most ADT security systems (except for the ADT Self Setup system).
Nest Indoor Cam with ADT
ADT’s greatest selling point is that it’s not just a security camera system. It’s a complete home security system, and a monitored one at that. ADT’s sensors can help detect other dangers that security cameras might not be able to.
On top of that, ADT’s monitoring service is top-notch. It’s one of the reasons we gave ADT a high overall rating. And because video monitoring automatically activates if you connect cameras to your ADT, you’ll be able to integrate video security seamlessly with your home security system.
5. Wyze Cam – Most Affordable Security Cameras
Budget-priced indoor security cameras with free cloud storage for motion-triggered video
How Affordable Were the Wyze Cameras?
Wyze Cam OG and Wyze Cam OG Telephoto
Wyze is our budget pick, and it’s easy to see why. The cheapest camera from Wyze costs $30, and that’s an indoor/outdoor camera. If you add in functionality like pan-and-tilt, the cost rises to about $40. Those prices outpace the most affordable indoor cameras, let alone outdoor cameras.
Wyze is more impressive if we consider the fact that it’s loaded with advanced features, like motion detection zones, Alexa and Google Home compatibility, and the ability to detect specific audio frequencies. The last one makes the cameras capable of alerting you when it hears the sound of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
Wyze started venturing into the home security system industry with its Wyze Home Monitoring System. So it’s not just a security camera brand now. If you need sensors like motion sensors and entry sensors, Wyze can provide those too.
Wyze Cam Pan and Box
Even though it’s a budget security brand, Wyze has a lot of high-tech cameras. You can get indoor and outdoor cameras that pan and tilt mechanically. There are even options with spotlights or floodlights to blind intruders and scare them off. Even with these features, Wyze’s security cameras are still some of the most affordable equipment available.
One example is the Wyze Cam Floodlight, which as the name implies, comes with built-in floodlights. It’s nothing to sneeze at; the floodlights are 2,600 lumens bright but dimmable, it comes with a 105 dB siren, it has a 270-degree motion detection range, and it has all the smart features of the Wyze Cam v3 like person and pet detection. In terms of price, though, it costs half of most floodlight cameras. The Ring Floodlight Cam costs $200 and up, while the Wyze Cam Floodlight costs only $93.99.
6. Arlo – Top Video Resolution
Cutting-edge indoor and outdoor cameras with up to 4K resolution
How Arlo Has the Best Security Video And Storage
Arlo Pro 5S 2k
The standard for high-definition security video is 1080p resolution. Arlo pushed the envelope with 4K ultra-high-definition on the weatherproof Ultra security camera, which costs $299. During our evaluations, the Arlo doorbell cameras, indoor cameras, and outdoor cameras automatically lowered their resolution if they detected low bandwidth.
Arlo loaded each camera with special features such as two-way voice, a siren with remote control, and compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Multiple setup options made Arlo cameras famous, too; cameras plugged in or operated wire-free, and magnetic mounts made setup hassle-free. The video was saved locally on a USB or to the cloud, free for seven days. Arlo cameras work best when grouped together to create an integrated network of security cameras.
While the Arlo Ultra offers the most impressive video resolution in Arlo’s lineup, there are more affordable options. Those options offer lower video resolutions – 1080p and 2K – which is perfect since not all homes are well-equipped to support 4K. With Arlo, you can mix and match cameras with different video resolutions depending on your needs.
Arlo Essential Indoor Camera (2nd Generation)
The Arlo Pro 4 stood out to us. It’s a wireless indoor and outdoor camera that runs on batteries. We thought it improved on the Arlo Pro 3, which we’ve also reviewed.
The Arlo Pro 4 features a 2K HD resolution; slightly lower than the Ultra, but still above industry average. While it costs less than half the latest Arlo Ultra, it provides similar features such as an integrated spotlight and color night vision. It’s also quite rugged for a security camera as sleek-looking; it’s resistant to rain and sun (it has UV protection, too), and it can operate in temperatures as low as minus four degrees Fahrenheit.
7. Nest – Most Compatible with Google Home Cameras
Smart doorbells & indoor/outdoor security cams with facial recognition and continuous recording
Why Nest Is Best for Google Home Security Cams
Google Nest Cam
While our Ring paired naturally with Amazon Alexa, Nest was best with Google Assistant and other Google Home products. Nest cams work intuitively with Google Home speakers. For example, we could say, “Hey Google, play the backyard camera on the kitchen Chromecast,” and it would perform the task.
The Nest Cam options include the plugged-in indoor model, the battery-powered weatherproof model, and the floodlight-equipped model. There are also wired and wireless video doorbell options. All these cameras share the same core features, including motion detection, person detection, and activity zones. Each can also be added to a Nest Aware subscription, which enables cloud recording plus up to 10 days of continuous recording at the highest tier. But even without Nest Aware, we still enjoyed mobile notifications from the cameras and three hours of event history with snapshots. That being said, we chose to keep our Nest Aware subscription because of facial recognition.
Nest Camera and box
All Nest Cam models come with facial recognition technology, which Google calls Familiar Face Alerts. But you’ll need a Nest Aware subscription to access the feature. It’s worth it, as it can improve your home security and reduce the number of times you get up to answer the door to someone you’re avoiding.
The Nest Cam starts by cataloging all the faces it sees, and then, it relies on you to put a name to those faces using the accompanying app. Nest’s AI is powered by Google, so you know that recognizing faces is no hard task for the camera.
Now, once it has a database of Familiar Faces (don’t worry, your camera’s Familiar Faces stays on your account and won’t be used in facial recognition of other Nest users), you’ll be able to really configure your notifications. For instance, you can tell Nest to notify you if this particular person is seen, let’s say your kid, so you know they got home safe from school. It’s that kind of personalization that makes Nest an incredible partner in home security.
Nest App’s Familiar Faces
8. Blink Camera – Top Compact Cameras
Video doorbells and indoor/outdoor cameras with easy installation and long-lasting batteries
Why Blink Is Easiest to Use
Blink Outdoor 4 and the Sync Module 2
Blink sells easy-to-use wireless cameras for indoor and outdoor use. These are low-priced at $35 and up, yet excellent quality. Special features on Blink cameras include one-way or two-way audio, a motion sensor, customizable motion zones, a temperature sensor, and the option to use Amazon Alexa for arming and disarming by voice.
Blink Indoor Cam
The Blink Indoor and Blink Outdoor, which are both battery-powered cameras, feature a PIR motion sensor. Although it doesn’t sound as impressive as person detection or facial recognition, the PIR sensor is the perfect sensor for these cameras.
PIR motion sensors read heat signatures and are only triggered when the moving object produces body heat. That’s another way of saying that it’s only triggered by living things. It reduces false alarms, not to mention, saves a ton of battery power compared to motion detection facilitated by the camera’s computer vision itself.
Blink provides affordable cloud storage with pricing similar to that of Ring ($3 per month for one camera and $10 for all cameras). You can also access local recording without monthly fees with a Sync Module 2 hub and a USB flash drive.
9. Swann SWDVK-445802V – For Local Video Storage
Smart doorbells and indoor/outdoor cameras with long-range and local storage
Why Swann Was Best for Local Video Storage
Swann Camera
Swann sells high-quality indoor/outdoor cameras and video doorbells for do-it-yourself monitoring only. Swann cameras feature impressive color night vision, heat sensing, two-way talk, floodlights, competitive pricing, long-range even at night, and compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant.
Local storage and cloud storage is available for Swann security cams. With free local memory, owners can save each clip for seven days. Camera ownership also includes two days of free cloud storage per clip.
Swann Camera and Storage Hard Drive
The Floodlight Security Camera, costing $179, shows off lots of Swann technology. The 1080p camera has a 125-degree lens, color night vision, a heat sensor, two-way talk, a siren, and a motion-triggered floodlight with dimmer. It clearly records nighttime action up to 100 feet away, and with its max floodlight brightness of 2500 lumens, criminals will have trouble finding cover!
10. eufy 2K Camera – For Apple HomeKit Integration
A budget camera that doesn’t sacrifice quality with all of our necessary features for home security cameras.
Why the eufy 2K is Best for Apple HomeKit
eufy 2K Camera on Desk
Although we use Siri for everything on our iPhones, a security camera rarely works with Apple’s voice assistant…that is, until the eufy 2K indoor camera. It works with Siri, so we were able to view the live feed on our phones by asking our trusted voice assistant, in addition to Alexa and Google Assistant. Siri also provides end-to-end encryption for footage along with a whopping ten days of extra cloud storage through HomeKit Secure Video. As iPhone or iPad users, we loved using Siri with the eufy 2K camera.
eufy 2k Cam Components
The eufy 2K is a very affordable indoor camera, at only $40. Typically, we shell out over $100 for similar devices. We set it up in our living room, and because we had pet detection turned off, we didn’t get notified every time our kitten played with its ball of yarn. Instead, we only got notifications about people. All our footage was recorded directly to our 128 GB micro-SD card in 2K resolution.
With the Eufy Security app, we easily checked in at home from anywhere with Internet access, arming and disarming our camera remotely (or creating an automated schedule). We could count on getting notifications when any people came near our home, which thankfully didn’t include any intruders.
11. Zmodo – Greatest Security Camera Selection
A wide range of affordable smart doorbells, indoor cameras, and outdoor cameras
Why Zmodo Had the Best Security Camera Selection
Zmodo sells a wide selection of smart doorbell cameras, indoor-only cameras, and weatherproof surveillance cameras for DIY monitoring. We chose these cameras to serve as crime deterrents, but we had friends who used the Zmodo video cams for keeping an eye on their dependents. Some Zmodo cameras are hardwired, and others are wire-free.
A four-pack of Zmodo Mini Cams costs just $99.99. These indoor cameras have night vision, two-way audio, Alexa compatibility, and optional continuous recording in 720p HD. With free service, we were able to review alert clips from the previous 36 hours. Longer-term cloud storage required a $9.99 per month payment.
Another cheap but effective option is the $39.99 Zmodo 1080p Indoor/Outdoor Security Camera. Along with HD color vision in daylight, it creates crisp low-light recordings with up to 65-feet depth of field. The option to set motion detection zones helps limit false alerts.
Zmodo Greet Pro
Zmodo security equipment carries an impressive three-year warranty and a 60-day money-back guarantee.
12. Ecobee SmartCamera – For Camera with Person Detection
A simple security camera perfect for families.
Why the ecobee SmartCamera is the Best for Person Detection
Ecobee SmartCamera
A lot of cameras have person detection, which differentiates between different types of movement from people, animals, cars, and inanimate objects. However, the ecobee SmartCamera takes things a step further. Not only does it detect people, but with a panning function, it’ll actually follow them around, keeping them in the center of the frame. This feature, Smart Focus, isn’t something we’ve seen from any other security camera, so with its 180-degree field of view, you’re sure not to miss anything that goes on at your home.
When it came to pricing, the average cost of a security camera was $168. We also had cameras that reached as low as $30 and as high as $200 or more. For example, Nest had one of the highest prices we’d seen for a home security camera. Netatmo and Arlo Pro 4 were also priced relatively high. Still, we figured this was mostly due to Netatmo’s exceptional artificial intelligence capabilities and Arlo Pro 4’s excellence crushed in every category. Even though those cameras seemed a bit pricey, we agreed their value made up for it. To put two cameras head to head, read our comparison of the Nest Cam Indoor vs. the Arlo Pro 2.
Methodology
Through rigorous research and testing, we identified the best security cameras out there. We used a few ways to make sure the security cameras we chose were up to par. First, we judged each product based on our Necessary Features Test, which evaluated cameras based on their video, audio, night vision, storage, artificial intelligence, smart platform integrations, convenience, and overall value. We didn’t expect cameras to earn full marks in every category for us to consider them worth buying. Our test simply laid out the ideal characteristics we looked for in security cameras.
Video
One of our Necessary Features was video with a clear and detailed picture. We knew it would come in handy if we needed evidence for the police or wanted to save some footage of a special event, like a birthday party. If we wanted more clear video, we had to invest in a 2K or 4K, a significantly more expensive technology. We also needed to keep in mind that most smartphones couldn’t stream in 4K, so 4K cameras likely weren’t worth it, especially since the Arlo 4K was discontinued so soon after its release (but later put back on shelves).
Display
Ring Indoor Cam video on the Ring app
Next, we wanted to find a camera that zoomed-in optically. We discovered many camera companies claimed their cameras zoomed in, but the truth was they only did so digitally. We could only zoom in on our phone, not in real life. Zoom was essential to us because it allowed our camera to capture details it otherwise couldn’t. We preferred cameras that could zoom in optically at least three times. We saw the best optical zoom capability from the Nest Cam IQ Indoor, which could zoom in a whopping 12 times.
Field of Zoom
Next, we wanted to be sure we got a camera that could zoom in optically— optically being the keyword. Zoom is important because it allows the camera to capture details that it otherwise couldn’t. We prefer cameras that can zoom in optically at least three times. The most we’ve seen is from the Nest Cam IQ Indoor, which can zoom in a whopping 12 times.
Again, many cameras that come with security systems, like Frontpoint’s indoor camera, cannot zoom, which is disappointing.
Field of View
Additionally, we determined the field of view should be no less than 120 degrees. The widest field of view is180 degrees. A great example of a camera with a 180-degree field of view is Logitech Circle 2. We did not even consider cameras with a field of view under 110 degrees because the more narrow the field of view, the more cameras we would have needed to buy to reach every corner of our home.
Audio
We wanted a camera that had both a microphone and a speaker. This was potentially very useful for a few reasons. First, it could help us communicate with people in our home, whether we were watching TV in the next room or on vacation in the Bahamas. Additionally, two-way audio has been known to help stop intruders in their tracks.
Night Vision
Nest Cam night vision
Since infrared night vision from LED sensors is invisible to the naked eye, it allowed us to record anyone in our cameras’ view at night without them realizing they were being filmed. In contrast, the bright white light with color night vision made it obvious when we were recording. Most cameras had infrared night vision, but we took points off for color night vision. Although it sounded better in theory, we wanted our security cameras and what they recorded kept secret.
Storage
Eufy Indoor Cam Mini SD Card
It was important to us that the cameras we selected had both cloud and local storage. Storage was important for a couple of reasons. First, we figured we might be interested in the video our cameras recorded, like a party or event. Second, the photos and videos that the camera captured would have been helpful evidence if we had an intrusion.
A micro-SD card, like the Honeywell Lyric C2, allowed us to get local storage or download the files. While some companies made us pay for storage, some gave it to us for free. Some companies provided free 32 or 64-gig micro-SD cards, which was awesome. If we had to pick between cloud or local storage, we’d choose local, as we could download the footage then backed it up to a cloud service like Dropbox.
Artificial Intelligence
During our evaluations, A.I. was a large part of home security. A.I. most often referred to person detection, meaning the camera differentiated between people and other moving objects like cars, pets, or shadows. This led to more specific and necessary notifications. Of course, we didn’t want a home security camera, so it could notify us whenever our pet bird flapped its wings! We even tested out the best pet cameras.
Aside from person detection, more advanced cameras like the Netatmo Welcome Indoor Camera employed facial recognition. With this technology, we were notified when specific people were in our home or an unfamiliar face was detected. Other detections included pet detection, baby crying detection, smoke, and C.O alarm detection, and package detection. Of course, we only considered person detection to be a Necessary Feature, but those are some nice extras.
Smart Platform Integration
Amazon Alexa
Smart home quickly became a norm for us, so we also considered having integrations with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant a Necessary Feature. If we were already in a Google or Amazon ecosystem, we’d want to make sure our camera could easily integrate within our smart home.
One of the primary things we enjoyed about cameras with smart integrations was commanding them with our voices. We could also link our camera up with other smart home devices to create home automation. For example, we could set our smart light bulbs to go off whenever our camera was armed and turn on when our camera was disarmed. Extra points went to integrations with multiple smart ecosystems.
Convenience
Mounting the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro
We looked for cameras with an installation that integrated with an app for step-by-step instructions or had an easy setup. Some cameras came with hubs, which we didn’t prefer, as they took up more space. While wireless cameras may have meant easier setup and less clutter, we had to change their batteries periodically. That was why wired systems were more convenient, including power over Ethernet cameras.
Value
When it came to home security, we didn’t want to skimp on quality. We also didn’t want to break the bank. Security cameras came in a huge range of prices. The least expensive camera we reviewed was the Wyze Cam, which was priced at only $20. The average range was usually somewhere between $100 to $200 while the most expensive camera we reviewed was theArlo Ultra 4K for $400 (we compared the Arlo Ultra to the eufyCam E here). In our opinion, there was no reason to spend $300 on a security camera when high-quality cameras existed for much less. Here are some more security camera prices so you know what to expect.
To learn more, read our Canary cameras review, our page on Canary camera pricing, our page on eufy camera pricing, and our page on Reolink camera pricing. You can save on security cameras by waiting for Prime Day. In the past, we’ve seen Arlo Prime Day deals, Blink Prime Day deals, and Ring camera Prime Day deals, to name a few.
Recap
There’s just no excuse these days not to have the right cameras monitoring your home. Whether you’re looking for affordability, cutting edge technology, or some combination of the two, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for somewhere on this list.
