Best Smart Home Security Cameras of 2023 - 2024

[@leokimvideo]

Definitely the most honest reviews related to security cameras here. One thing I notice with people who break into my home is they tend to always be moving quite fast. Maybe in your backyard motion tests and look at resolution results move around far more quickly. The thieves seem to know if they are moving quick these security cameras can struggle in a number of ways.

[@carlossilva3122]

You should have motion activated lights to complement the camera. They work both as a deterrant and support for the camera. Either way - These people will be covered. The camera only notifies you of a break-in. Statistically you should be more concerned about the camera placament, to make sure its not stolen or vandalized that its ability to detect people moving slowly. The tapo at least, can see way beyond what a person can :)

[@leokimvideo]

@@carlossilva3122 I've shown video on KZbin of thieves coming in against multiple security lights coming on and they don't even flinch. In fact once the lights come on they can see what to steal. I honestly think security lights aid the thieves.

Totally agree, no subscription fee and allowing constant record are both extremely important features. Nice work!

[@AEGENTTECH]

Absolutely agree-subscription-free options make such a difference for both affordability and user control.

[@PanikAtTheCisco]

Although Eufy seems nice, they were found to be sending local video storage to their cloud servers, something that customers were led to believe was not happening. They also did not have any end-to-end encryption for their video feeds. Some time has passed since those issues were brought up, and, likely, those problems do not exist anymore, but I would be cautious with any company that appears so nonchalant about a pretty serious flaw in their product. Excuse the cliche, but here is a word of caution for potential buyers trying to save a dollar: if you aren't paying for the product, you are the product.

[@LifeHackster]

Just to clarify your “cliche” … so what did eufy sell? ( because the customers are the product). Did they sell the footage or technically the snapshots from their servers? To who?

Is there a way to bring all the best devices from different manufacturers together under one home integration so you can pick and choose what you want?? Would that be Home assistant????

[@PGB-ni1ji]

So true that no single system is best in all things. It really depends on each unique situation. I started with the Ring doorbell and always had issues with it so I didn't go into that ecosystem. I replaced it with the Eufy wired doorbell and was impressed enough that now I have 10 eufy units. Not perfect but plenty good enough for what I need. Thanks for all the info.

[@artieartya]

Yeah I agreed. I have the ring doorbell and love that as my favorite doorbell the pro two, but then for the spotlight cameras, I got Eufy the S330 and S340 and absolutely love those.

[@apilkey]

[@linger4605]

You have the best reviews for security cameras. Thanks for all you do

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you.

[@apilkey]

@@LifeHacksterHello, thanks for the video… I got a security camera and a doorbell installed through my Phone/Internet company but the problem I have is that my cellphone does not ring when someone rings the doorbell. The other problem I have is if I’m at work and the security camera catches someone sometimes I don’t get notified right away. The 3rd problem I have is I can’t go back and see any recordings of anything. To me that’s the whole point of having a security camera so if something happens you can go back and have video recorded evidence. Do the Eufy cameras allow you to go back anytime and grab any footage you want for video evidence of say a break in or property theft etc?

[@JeronimoStilton14]

When I bought my house it came with a FEIT floodlight camera. It was great, but after turning the floodlight manually one night, it stopped responding in the app and no resetting will fix it. That being said I’ve seen they are decent when contacted for support, and I probably would go that route if I had bought it, but thought I would mention it for others

[@Mike-In-O-Town]

Wish you'd also add a step to your testing to determine which cameras work best with each home assistant. I run everything in my home through Google Home and would have liked to know which of your camera picks work best with that platform.

[@stanislavbenaci5412]

which one would you go for especially for night human detection? Eufy S340 or Tapo C425 (T85)?

[@Kadeeist]

Thank. You thank you thank you. Been following you for a bit now and you are by far the best reviewer on here. You’ve helped me with the confidence to go forth and add cameras carefully to my home picking the best devices for me and my family. You’ve never steered me wrong. Thanks again.

[@LifeHackster]

I appreciate that!

[@willdavis5127]

What brand did u go with??

[@chrissampson7569]

Thank you for another great wrap-up review. My go-to setup is still Eufy. I've had the best luck with them and very minor issues. I saw that they recently released a siren and the price doesn't seem too bad. I want to see a review of it before I decide to add it my system, though. I mainly want to see just how loud it really is. The HB3 alarm combined with 5 outdoors cams with alarms isn't loud unless you're within 10ft of my house. My car alarm can easily drown out Eufy's alarms on full volume. Even one smoke detector alarm is louder than Eufy. So I'm hoping Eufy's siren decibels are close to what my smoke detectors are. Will you be doing a review of Eufy's siren anytime soon?

[@Snookattack]

Thank you LifeHackster. The Eufy S340 was my choice for replacement of the old Arlo 1080p cameras. Very happy with the Eufy S340.

If you have a floodlight setup in your garage area, you can start off with a floodlight cam like from Eufy and a doorbell cam. The best and reliable setup though would be a wired NVR system.

Thank you LifeHackster. I just ordered the Eufy camera, what I plan to set up on my window. I have a Panasonic Homehawk window camera already, which worked for about a year, but recently, it stopped working. I was able to re-set and works again, except the notificiation. No matter what I do, it notifies me about a person only by a pop up, but NO SOUND. Do you know what to do to fix it? I even talked to Panasonic customer service, but they couldn't help. And yes, notification is set for sound, not for silent.

can anyone help me with the following question? I have several Reolink poe cameras connected to an NVR at home. I have the app which I use to monitor and change settings. All is working well. I’m now planning to set up the same exact system at a different property. The question is, how are these two independent systems going to show up on the app? I have been trying to get an answer but all I find is that all the cameras from both systems will show on the app and there is no way to group them or compartmentalize them. I don’t even know if any setting changes to one NVR will affect the other NVR. Thank you

[@ClockFixer]

What would you recommend that is Wireless, Motion Alert/ spotlight with video and night vision, and notifications to my I phone WITHOUT subcription?

[@markhunt3207]

A couple of years ago I was gifted two Wired Ring Floodlight Pro Security Systems. I just got around to installing one system this week. Nothing but problems for me. Inconsistent motion tracking. Either too slow or non existent half the time. I've been going back and forth with the motion mode and birds eye mode, according to the apps manual, but doesnt seem to work as it should. And I just came to realize that Im gonna need a paid subscription to use these two. I noticed your property seems to be pretty bare, with nothing in the way. I wonder how much if any, difference that make when testing your cameras.

Any of the Reolink wired or plug in WiFi cameras like the trackmix, E1 outdoor or the CX410 WiFi. The cheapest would be a Wyze camera set to record 24/7 and you don’t have to subscribe to their monthly subscription or Tapo plug in cameras as well.

I have been to some sites that you can watch a live camera feed of what is happening there. Many News stations have something like what I want mounted on their roofs. What am I really looking for?

Hi. Thank you for your review I have several set of Blink ( I use it for my job) and man they suck!!! In short I work in Rat solution problem, and I need to put cameras on my clients home In order to track where the rats come from and their habits. The blinks Outdoor 4 give a lot of problems. So I need a small/ medium outdoor/ indoor wireless wifi camera that: Is easy to connect to wifi performant in basement ( far from the internet modem) And that have night vision ( with no light because that scare the rats) Very good battery life. Is the Eufy S220 and good option? Do you have others to recommend in with my needs? Thank very much for your help.
