Many of us want to see to it that their home is protected and safe and many turn to security cameras as the first line of defense. We've gathered some advice on things to consider when looking to purchase a security camera system.
This is one is crucial because this is precisely what security cameras should be able to provide. Simultaneously you can just focus blindly on the image resolution, because that alone doesn't say much about the quality of the entire camera.
It's good to think about whether the camera can withstand being placed outdoors or not. Many cameras feature bonus functions like sirens, lights, facial recognition etc. Therefore, you should consider where you intend on placing the camera and what your specific needs are.
The majority of "ready-to-use" cameras tend to come with cloud storage as the only available options. Some other brands, like Netatmo or Tuya let you save things either on a memory card or in the cloud. Cloud storage means that you'll always have video material available to you regardless of what happens, which also means that you'll have running subscription costs to consider.
Wireless and battery-powered cameras are a breeze to install. However, you can also luck out with wired cameras if you happen to have a power outlet a wall nearby. Accessibility with cords can also mean that you can get a much more stable video feed by running an ethernet cable to your camera (provided that it can support it).
