Eufy Cameras Review

Updated by Alexia on

Eufy prioritizes customer privacy with local video storage and robust security practices. But it's also one of the best ways to get a 2K security camera without paying too much. We think the 1080p EufyCam 2C is the best balance of features and price for most folks because it's a versatile and flexible alternative to the Arlo Essential Spotlight. But it's not a heart-stopping value like the Eufy Solo IndoorCam C24, which sports a higher resolution and similar performance for $100 less (if you don't mind a power cable). These cameras are the jewels of Eufy's huge selection of cameras,...

Canary Home Security Review

Updated by Alexia on

Each of Canary’s security devices showcases a user-friendly design, easy setup, and straightforward home security features. Canary’s home security approach is driven by simplicity. While this makes Canary security cameras a great fit for apartments and small spaces, they probably won’t do the job for larger homes—especially if you want integrated smart home functionality. But if you can add only one home security device to your dwelling, the Canary Pro All-in-One is definitely a contender. It delivers everything you want from a smart security camera along with a 90 dB siren and a one-touch link to the police or fire...

Blink Cameras Review: Indoor, Outdoor, Mini, and Doorbell

Updated by Alexia on

Blink’s little (and we mean little) home security cameras offer straightforward video surveillance at a price nearly anyone can afford. We weren’t particularly blown away by these home security cameras, but we don’t have any major complaints about them either. They offer industry-standard features such as 1080p video quality, two-way talk, and night vision. Plus, the app is very user-friendly. Best of all, these tiny Blink cameras can be placed just about anywhere. If you’re looking for less obvious home security, the Outdoor, Indoor, and Mini cameras are a good choice. Pros Cons Full IFTTT integration Great price point Ideal...

Amcrest Security Camera Review

Updated by Alexia on

Amcrest seems to have everything going for it, but after close inspection, we found that this home security camera company has way too many options and not enough features. On the good side, Amcrest offers just about any type of home security camera you can think of, including wireless, wired, indoor, and outdoor cameras. And they offer plenty of video storage options. Amcrest’s negatives include confusing and expensive cloud subscription plans, numerous apps, and lackluster features. Pros Cons Affordable cameras Helpful and quick customer service Many video storage options Super bright floodlight camera Many cameras lack two-way talk Too many...

Arlo Security Cameras Review

Updated by Alexia on

Arlo's wireless security cameras pack a big punch under any conditions—indoors or outside and day or night. Arlo was one of the first companies to release battery-powered security cameras way back in 2014, and its years of experience show in its latest products. We think that Arlo's wireless security cameras are a great choice, whether you want to keep an eye on package deliveries, check in with your pet, or welcome the kids home after school. This is good news for a brand that tends to be otherwise too pricey for most folks (but getting more affordable). Arlo backs up...
