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.

The legendary song that became the Rick Roll
It’s the ultimate internet bait-and-switch: Someone sends you a link (say, an important article you really need to read!), you click the link, and you hear, “Never gonna give you up/ Never gonna let you down!” How’d Rick Astley’s 1987 song become synonymous with good-natured internet trolling? Did the guy know he had a hit on his hands? (Spoiler: Nope.) And who invented the Rickrolling meme? These questions and others are answered in this fun video. Seriously, it’s worth a watch. My favorite viewer comment: “He lived long enough to see himself become a legend. That is a blessing.” Right?!
