Home security cameras
to protect
what you love most

There are many security cameras to select from, and many of them operate well in conjunction with a suitable home security system or as stand-alone devices. Understanding the distinctions can assist you in locating one that meets your requirements. Common types include doorbell cameras, indoor cameras, outdoor cameras, PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras, and wireless cameras.

When purchasing home security cameras, look for: Video resolution (minimum 720p, 1080p or higher is best for identifying people and objects); Viewing angle (wide-angle lenses cover more area); Night vision capability; Motion detection and smart AI filtering; Two-way audio; Weather resistance for outdoor cameras; Cloud or local storage options; and Smart home integration.

Absolutely. Residential security cameras let you keep an eye on your home more efficiently in various ways. Installing a security camera in a visible location may deter burglars from breaking into your home. Security cameras act as an eyewitness when a crime is occurring, making submitting police reports and insurance claims easier. Burglaries cost Americans about $3 billion in property damages in 2019, with an average loss of $2,661 per incident. And, of course, you get to select your preferred budget on security cameras because there are multiple options at all price ranges.

If a camera is so expensive that you can no longer afford the assets you are attempting to safeguard, it is no longer useful. Fortunately, we live in an era when nearly everyone can buy security cameras. Cameras in monitored security systems can require a larger budget because they are part of a network constantly reviewed by professionals.

Wi-Fi is used by modern security cameras for five main purposes: live video streaming, using the cloud to store video footage, controls and notifications for mobile devices, two-way audio, and interaction with smart home gadgets. Many residential security cameras use Wi-Fi to transmit the video feed, while some are hardwired to your home router via cables. If you have a data use limit on your internet, be sure you understand how your security camera(s) may affect your monthly cost.

Many of the finest security camera systems also assist in the transformation of your home into a smart home. Security cameras are often integrated with smart home hubs such as Google Home or Amazon Echo. The ability to remotely manage lighting, door locks, and security cameras may provide you with a significant home security edge. You may also configure your system to increase security measures when suspicious activity is detected.

Yes. Machine learning makes use of artificial intelligence to filter through massive volumes of data, detect patterns, and learn from those patterns. Modern Vivint cameras can be trained to distinguish between people, motor vehicles, and non-motor vehicles. They can identify certain characteristics of people, cars, and other objects — filtering out false alarms and focusing only on genuine threats. This helps maximize recording space and makes navigation through footage much easier.
