If you're worried about potential intruders in home , these security cameras can stream live video directly to your phone.
These are the best security cameras for your home, from smart doorbells to models that work well with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri, and more.
Arlo Pro 3
The Arlo Pro 3 rechargeable indoor and outdoor security camera has many features that make it stand out from other systems. It's also easy to set up and use, and the app is simple.
In addition to basic features like night vision, two-way audio, detection , and alerts, it has many additional security features, such as built-in sirens. It also offers advanced alerts like face, animal, vehicle, and package detection.
At $500, a bundle of 2 of these, along with the required hardware, isn't cheap, but the Arlo Pro 3 is a solid product that works well and definitely deserves a spot on our list of the best security cameras.
Wyze Cam
The $20 Wyze Cam is not only a good surveillance , but a great camera.
It features HD live streaming, motion alerts, night vision, a decent app, and, best of all, 14 days of free motion-based cloud storage. The Wyze camera also has a built-in microSD if you want local video storage instead of relying solely on the cloud.
It also works with Alexa voice commands and features motion detection zones, listening capabilities, and alerts for special frequencies, such as smoke alarms.
You can monitor multiple cameras on the app, which makes it a great wireless security camera for setting up a home system.
Arlo Video Doorbell
Arlo isn't just one of the best security cameras, it's also one of the best smart cameras. The $150 Arlo Video Doorbell isn't exactly cheap, but it's definitely more affordable than most smart doorbells.
As a doorbell camera, it's designed to be outdoors, so you don't have to worry about the weather. Similar to the Arlo Pro 3 outdoor security camera, the Arlo Video Doorbell has features like two-way audio, motion zones, and a built-in siren.
It also has a competitive cloud storage subscription plan, starting at $3 per month. If you pay for cloud storage, you get access to advanced features like customization for people, animals, vehicles, and package detection.
Nest Cam IQ Indoor
The $299 Nest Cam IQ indoor camera has the same smart features and functions as the Nest Hello speaker. It also has HD live streaming like the security cameras above, motion alerts, face alerts, and access to the Nest Aware service option.
Starting at $5 per month, a Nest Aware subscription offers advanced features like facial recognition. You can create a database of friends and family, and it will alert you whenever one of them is at the door.
This model also has a Google Assistant speaker built in. So, like Google Home and other Google Assistant-enabled smart speakers and displays, the Nest Cam IQ Indoor responds to the wake phrase, "OK/Hey Google.".
Indoor-outdoor Logitech Circle 2
The $180 indoor-outdoor Logitech Circle 2 is one of the few home security cameras that works with the HomeKit, including responding to Siri commands from the HomePod. It also works with Alexa and Google Assistant, giving you access to all of the voice assistant's main features.
