What makes a good security camera?

Living room with wooden floor, white walls, fireplace, cat on a chair, birdcage, table, plants and rug.

What makes a security camera good depends on what exactly you want to secure. If you mainly want to monitor your home or garden, a weatherproof model is useful. Outdoors, a wireless model is practical if you don’t want to run cables. If you want to monitor indoors, an indoor camera with high resolution and a wide field of view is better. Thanks to features like night vision and AI detection, you can clearly see what’s happening even in the dark. Finally, consider storage and notifications. Some cameras store footage locally via a microSD card, while others use secure cloud storage. Smart features such as app alerts for sound or movement ensure you only receive notifications that really matter.
