Ease of UseTo test
ease of use, we tracked setup issues and whether we had to contact customer support. Cameras that quickly connected to Wi Fi and had simple setup steps scored well. The Samsung SmartCam HD Pro had the easiest installation. Next, we looked for useful smartphone apps that show recordings, live streaming and basic settings on the first screen you see. The apps from Oco and D Link were the easiest to use. ConnectionOur final test evaluated the Wi Fi connection. To do this, we connected each camera to our Wi Fi network along with a video streaming service and a smartphone. If a camera had connection problems, while the other devices and the router still worked, we deducted points accordingly. Other Things to Consider When Buying a Security Camera Video Storage: Local or Cloud?There are two kinds of storage, local and cloud, neither of which had any effect on our scoring because it boils down to personal preference. The cameras with local storage in our review use micro SD memory cards to save video footage. This lets you access your video without
subscription fees, though you might need extra memory cards or to write over older footage if you plan to keep your camera recording at all times.

While we experienced some connection problems during testing, the
camera had one of the most stable connections overall. When we originally tested the camera, it wasn't compatible with any smart home platforms, but now works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT and Stringify. We also like that Arlo cameras come with seven day cloud video storage at no cost, though you can upgrade to better plans starting at $9. 99 a month. In addition to less than optimal nighttime video, Arlo Q's warranty is only one year long compared to two year coverage offered by Nest and Belkin. Unlike other security cameras we tested, Netgear doesn't offer free 24/7 technical support after the first 90 days. After that, you must pay for a cloud storage plan to access 24/7 technical support.

This security camera uses microSD cards up to 64GB to record video, so there aren't any ongoing fees. You can use the
mobile app to customize the video quality to optimize camera performance or save storage space.

It has a field of view of 147 degrees and smart home
integrations with Amazon
Alexa and Google Assistant. As of a software update in February 2019, the Canary All In One includes person detection. More often than not, cameras with artificial intelligence have person detection as opposed to a more advanced facial recognition software. That means while the camera can tell the difference between people and other moving objects, it cannot recognize specific individuals. If you’re looking for solid person detection and don’t care so much about facial recognition, the Canary All In One is a great choice for you. For more information, read our Canary All In One review.
