On the other hand, cloud storage is easier to use than local and is more likely to record everything the camera sees. The Y cam Indoor HDS is the only camera in our review with free cloud storage. Field of ViewIf you choose a camera with a very wide field of view, at least 160 degrees, you can expect to see every part of the room in front of the camera. The widest field of view in our review is the D Link DCS 2630L at 180 degrees. A wide field of view, which the majority of the cameras we reviewed have, is anything larger than 80 degrees, and it works best if you mount the camera high in a corner that overlooks the room. Digital ZoomDigital zoom allows you to select part of the video and enlarge it. While this helps you get a closer look at something, the quality of a digitally enlarged video won't match that of the original. The Samsung SmartCam HD Pro has the highest digital zoom in the review at 10x. Smart Home PlatformBefore you buy, check if any home automation or DIY home security systems work with the camera.

These smart detectors also give out a preliminary warning tone that tells you there’s smoke somewhere in the house, and gives you a chance to act. Other than that, smart detectors are also connected in a wireless network, and are able to talk to each other. So if a fire occurs in the basement and you’re in the bedroom, these smart little things will still sound the alarm wherever you are in the house. Stopping the alarm by waving however won’t work wirelessly. You’ll have to wave at the smoke detector that actually detected the presence of smoke before you could stop it. Which is, again, smart because you have to go down there and check the problem out visually.
