They’re unobtrusive and power-efficient, able to be placed on bookshelves, mounted on walls, or otherwise hidden. Here are some nice price cuts on indoor smart cameras.
Amazon’s Blink line of cameras are no-nonsense devices that deliver solid video quality at a nice price. In PCMag’s review of the Blink Indoor, the site gave it an “Excellent” rating and said it was “a solid buy for anyone looking for an affordable indoor camera that’s easy to use and delivers sharp video and accurate motion detection,” praising its simple Alexa integration and ability to interact with other smart devices through IFTTT applets. You can store videos locally by hooking up a USB drive or paying a subscription fee for cloud storage. Battery life is quite long, and installation couldn’t be easier.

PCMag gave an Editors’ Choice to the Eufy E220 indoor camera in its review, raving that it comes “equipped with the type of high-end features you typically find on more expensive models, including mechanical pan and tilt, high-resolution video, automatic motion tracking, and intelligent motion and sound detection,” and praising its easy integration with multiple home automation platforms including Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit and Google Assistant. With simple installation and simple USB power connections, you can put one just about anywhere and have it work right away.

The globe-shaped housing of this thrifty little room monitor allows it to move around extensively at your remote command, focusing on suspicious areas with ease. PCMag reviewed the Kasa Indoor Pan/Tilt Smart Security Camera, saying it “delivered very sharp 2K video in testing, with bright and saturated colors during the day.” The companion app is a breeze to use, with easy mechanical pan and tilt controls as well as two-way audio and real-time motion and sound detection. It also integrates with smart home networks so you can do things like turn lights on when the camera picks up motion.

If you want a camera designed to track your household animals, the Furbo Mini is a solid pick. This is the company’s pint-sized version of its technology, but it doesn’t skimp on functionality and looks stylish. With full HD video and a damage-free wall mount, you can watch your dog or cat day and night. Audio alerts notice when your pet is meowing and barking and send push notifications to your phone; two-way audio lets you calm them down until you get home. An optional Furbo Nanny subscription adds even more functionality, and at $25 off, this camera is a great deal.

Powering an outdoor security camera typically involves either running power out to the unit or swapping out a battery every so often. But what if there were another way? Eufy has several solar-powered security cameras that get everything they need from renewable energy, and the tiny, wire-free SoloCam S220 is robust and powerful. Installation is a breeze, requiring just a single hole drilled to mount the unit, and the Eufy app lets you tap into it at any time, as well as sends you motion alerts, with no subscription necessary. Amazon is offering a 46% discount.

Need to cover all the angles on your property? This is a ridiculously good deal that shaves 38% off of four excellent Arlo Pro 5S 2K cameras. PCMag reviewed this model and gushed over its speedy dual-band Wi-Fi compatibility, simple installation, and intelligent alerts. It integrates easily with tons of third-party smart home systems and supports voice commands through Alexa and Google Assistant. A redesigned battery gives you six months between charges, or eight months in low-power mode. The 4MP HDR camera offers 12x digital zoom and a 160-degree field of view.

Amazon’s Blink line of security cameras is solid, and its most recent outdoor camera is a compact and functional unit that boasts long battery life and lots of cool features. In PCMag’s review of the Blink Outdoor 4, the site said that it “lets you affordably monitor outdoor areas without having to run any wires,” praising its 143-degree field of view, sharp 1080p video, and compatibility with Alexa voice commands. Motion alerts are accurate and instantaneous, and with an optional Sync Module, you can store video to a local USB drive. Right now you can get a set of five cameras for 50% off.

Not a mammoth discount, but even saving $10 is a nice incentive for this durable and reliable outdoor camera. Capturing full 2K video, the TP-Link Tapo Outdoor Camera can withstand all kinds of bad weather thanks to its IP66 water and dust rating. The footage it captures can be transmitted to the cloud or stored on an internal SD card. Dual integrated spotlights and an 850 nm IR sensor combine to give you nearly 100 feet of visibility at night, and a built-in siren lets you scare off any evildoers.

In general, smart security cameras that deliver alerts to your phone or other devices will need to be integrated into your Wi-Fi network to work. However, there are models on the market that do not. Some can connect through a LTE wireless data plan, and others use exclusively local storage. That said, for the most comprehensive coverage you’ll want cameras that connect to your home network.
The amount of time footage is stored depends on the storage mechanism used by the cameras. For cameras with internal storage on an SD card or a remote hub, that amount is determined by the size of the card or drive. For cameras with cloud-based storage subscriptions, typically a larger amount of data is stored. For example, Amazon’s Ring subscription plan lets you store all of your video for up to 180 days.
Both indoor and outdoor cameras share many features, including motion detection and notifications. Indoor cameras are typically smaller and more lightweight, while outdoor cameras are sturdier with more protection from the elements. Outdoor cameras often also incorporate spotlight features to illuminate the area they cover.
