Security cameras

A camera is chosen first by where it goes: outdoors, it has to withstand the weather and see clearly at night. Power comes next, as a battery makes fitting easy but needs recharging. Storage makes the real difference: a local card, a recorder or an online subscription. Very high resolution matters less than a clear night image and alerts that do not go off for a swaying branch.

The buying guide for this category Buying guide: how to choose a security camera A security camera is chosen on what it actually captures, day and night, and on what it costs to run around the clock.
