Product Information

Smart assistant/speaker integration: Many manufacturers boast of integration with either Alexa or Google Assistant in their specifications but while some aspects of these features are useful, they’re worth taking with a pinch of salt. In most instances, they refer to the ability to ask the digital assistant to display the feed from your camera on your smart screen speaker, which isn’t all that useful in our experience. Image quality is good both in good light and at night, audio is surprisingly clear, and it’s an absolute doddle to set up. Oh, and it also works seamlessly with screen-based Echo devices, allowing you to bring up the video feed from the camera with a simple voice command.

The battery life of the A9 HD Battery IP Camera depends on usage and settings, but it can last up to several months on a single charge. Aside from having the whole setup process controlled by a mobile app, expect a faster installation on the hardware side, too. But don’t get too comfortable once you get the camera online; though they’re meant as “set it and forget it” devices, it’s important to remember to monitor your cameras’ battery life and make sure you’re aware when it’s time to change them out. Up until the last decade or so, installing cameras around the house often involved complicated installations and hardwiring often left to a professional. The big, bulky equipment didn’t do much for aesthetics, either. Consider your budget when choosing a camera, and look for options that provide good value for money. Conclusion The camera comes with a rechargeable battery that provides long battery life, making it ideal for outdoor use. Remote ViewingThe camera is equipped with infrared night vision technology, which allows for clear footage even in low-light conditions. Motion Detection Before we take a closer look at the pros and cons of wired vs wire-free, let’s take a second to review some of our favorite cameras from the providers listed above side-by-side. Wireless Camera Comparison Camera Here is the actual white camera. There are two clearly marked buttons – one for on-off, the other for setting up etc. Yes, the green and blue indicators are bright. One of these cameras would be easily hidden but for the bright lights. Underneath you see the magnetically attached stand who’s base is adhesive, not magnetic. I’ve not tested battery life yet. With this in mind, it’s worth looking for cameras that can also record video clips locally to a microSD card. While this isn’t as flexible as cloud storage, it gives you the option to keep using a camera if the company hikes prices beyond what you’re willing to pay.

When dealing with wall outlet (high) voltages you should satisfy yourself that whatever you are doing is safe and if unsure, seek advice from someone who is sure.The best thing about the SoloCam E40, however, is that it’s completely standalone, and not tied to proprietary hardware or expensive subscription-based cloud storage. Indeed, with 8GB of onboard storage, you will be able to access months of recorded video clips before the Eufy SoloCam E40 runs out of space and starts to overwrite old clips. Key specs – Size: Floodlight – 315 x 165 x 93mm (WDH), Camera – 83 x 83 x 83mm (WDH); Field of view: 130 degrees; Video resolution: 1,920 x 1,080; Night vision: yes; Motion detection: Yes If the V720 camera detects the memory card, it will record, and you can adjust the clarity of the recording in Recording Settings.

For general use in terms of value for money, my much larger Alfawise camera previously blogged about is better if ultra wide angle isn’t important.And while the other outdoor camera, the Nest Cam Floodlight, requires hardwiring, it’s relatively easier to install than other smart light-equipped cameras. If you buy the Nest Cam Floodlight, it comes with complete mounting accessories, including wire connectors, mounting plates, and even screws. And since it’s hardwired, you’ll never have to take down the Nest Cam Floodlight to recharge. About CVR, Do-It-Yourself Monitoring, & Pro Monitoring
