Research the best indoor security cameras and you’ll get many results. One way to cut through the nonsense and hone in on what you want is by asking yourself which indoor security camera features you need.
This way, you can filter out cameras that don’t have everything you need. Once you find your perfect camera, you must consider the best placement and location. Here are three ways to make the most of your video cameras.
Keep reading for five features every indoor security camera should have.
1. Audio
So you want to secure your home. Maybe you want to see how your dogs or kids are doing when you’re away. You might also want to keep an eye on your older relatives so you can act quickly in an emergency.
Indoor security cameras let you see your home when you’re away. Look them up, and you’ll find a few different options:
- Indoor security camera with audio.
- Indoor security camera without audio.
We recommend getting a home security camera with audio recording features. If you get an inside security camera without audio, you won’t be able to hear cries for help. Sure, you could see your home through the video — but you wouldn’t get peace of mind.
2. A shutter is one of the best indoor security camera features
This insider tip is essential for the best indoor security camera with recording features. Make sure you’re shopping for an indoor security camera with a privacy shutter. The best overall option comes from our sponsor, SimpliSafe. (More on that later.)
That’s because the SimpliCam has a privacy shutter made of stainless steel. It slides directly over the lens. It will only open when you explicitly permit it.
This is a great way to protect your privacy since hackers have been known to watch people through their security cameras. A shutter is an extra layer of protection: Even if a cybercriminal breaks in, they won’t be able to see anything since you put the shutter over the camera.
Don’t look up: Chinese scientists built a surveillance camera that can see your face from space. In a ground test, it locked onto a target 62 miles away and picked up tiny details with scary accuracy. It’s supposedly “100 times” better than today’s top spy cameras and lens-based telescopes.
Don’t let me drone on: The U.S. has a fancy, new spy drone that can fly at 15,000 feet for 14 hours, even while carrying heavy equipment. Most military drones fly for eight hours, tops, so this is a game-changer. Combat teams will use it for recon and surveillance.
