Amazon Cloud Cam Security Camera Review

Having consistent and reliable footage of the inside of your house can help you act fast in situations that would otherwise turn bad very quickly. Knowing the status of your house at all times helps prevent things like burglaries from going too far, and even if they succeed, you should be able to have some great incriminating evidence against them.

Amazon’s Cloud Cam offers all of this and more in a convenient, easy to use package. One aspect of the Amazon Cloud Cam that attracts many consumers is the simplicity in setting it up.

It requires very little time to get it up and running. You just need to point it in the right direction, plug it in, and connect it to an Amazon account. From there, you can do all of the things you want it to do, whether it’s from your phone or from your computer.

At the base level, this device will record up to 24 hours of footage in the cloud, replacing old footage as needed to make more space. If there’s an important clip that you need, you can download it to have it permanently saved on your computer.

This would be something like catching the burglar in action, keeping it so that it can later be used in court as evidence. The basic package also includes things like motion-sensitive alerts to let you know when it detects something, and it can be live streamed from your account at any time.

However, you can upgrade your subscription in order to gain access to more premium features. As you upgrade it, you’ll be able to hold more footage, connect more cameras, and so on.

Some of the premium features are definitely worth the cost. For example, you can have human detection set up so that it will alert you for detecting a human figure instead of something like a dog running around.

One of the most amazing premium features comes in the form of advanced audio alerts. It gives you a detailed alert regarding what it heard, so that you know what’s going on at that time. It could be anything from a dog barking to a crying baby and just about anything in between, even including breaking glass. This is so incredibly useful because you’ll know if it’s something you need to respond to right away or if it’s just a noise that happens to be occurring.

Arlo Pro 2 Review

It’s important to be able to monitor your home securely both – inside and out. In an age where break ins and theft are very common, it can be difficult to experience a home invasion without being able to prove who did it.

Theft cases that get reported to the police are often never solved because it’s so hard to find the perpetrator. By getting a good, smart home security camera, you should be able to get footage of who did it, resulting in a much better case against them.

The Arlo Pro 2 is a great set of smart cameras that all connect together so that you’re not having to check through different apps for different cameras. You can set them up wherever you’d like, so you could have one at your front door inside, one in a hallway, and so on.

They can even be placed outside. The Arlo Pro 2 is weather-resistant, meaning it can take on rain and wind, as well as temperature resistant for both hot and cold temperatures.

But it only has a certain range of operating temperatures, so be sure the temperatures where you live fall within that range. It should be fine, but it doesn’t hurt to be careful with it.

Once set up, you can use these cameras to record anytime there’s motion in their line of sight. They even record a few seconds before the motion was detected, meaning you’ll get a much more complete video of anything that might be going on in your house.

Other cameras sometimes have a delay, so they only capture a little bit of action or maybe even the tail end of it. You’re able to use your smartphone in order to communicate with people two-ways through the speakers and microphone in the cameras.

This allows you to either talk with people in your house or listen to see if something is going on. You need to make sure the cameras are set up in the right places for this – otherwise, you might not be able to use this effectively.

One of the benefits of the Arlo Pro 2 specifically is that you can set it up to record 24/7 footage, meaning you don’t need to rely on the motion tracker, but rather you’ll have anything that ever crossed the path of the camera in a daily cycle.

For this, you have to be using it in a wired power mode, but if you’re not using the 24/7 mode, it can be used wirelessly with rechargeable batteries. This gives you peace of mind that you’ll be able to protect your valuables and your family.

Ring Video Doorbell Review

Like many others, you might find yourself worried about your home security. You might want to know if people are trespassing on your property, passing by your front door, who they are, and what they look like.

Unfortunately, this wouldn’t normally be possible if you’re not constantly watching though a window or something, at least until Ring doorbells came around. The Ring video doorbell is a smart device that simply installs outside near your front door, and acts as both a doorbell and a security camera or motion tracker.

By connecting to your smart phone through the app, it can provide a variety of helpful services that help you keep your house safe and secure. The most popular tool used in the Ring doorbell is the motion tracker.

It detects any activity outside your front door so that you’ll know when an expected guest has arrived, and you’ll know if someone is snooping around. When it detects something, it gives you an alert, and from there you can check the video feed.

Once you’re on the video feed, you’ll be able to see the entire area outside your front door in clear HD quality. This can help you tell if someone is just delivering a package or if someone is trying to do something more nefarious.

You can stream this video from anywhere at any time, and it even films in infrared at night so that you can see in the dark. Another interesting feature of the Ring doorbell is the two-way communication system it’s equipped with.

It has a microphone on it as well as a speaker, so you’ll be able to hear any conversations taking place near the door, and you’ll be able to talk to them without having to shout through the door or open it up.

This would become useful if someone was trying to take a package off your porch. It’s become a very common crime lately for people to casually take a package that was dropped off at your door.

You would get an alert for the movement, see them walking up, and say something through your microphone to drive them off. You would also be able to give police a copy of the video so they could be aware of thieves in the area.

Ring doorbells are very quick and easy to install, whether you had an existing doorbell or not. It shouldn’t realistically take you any more than 20 or so minutes to get it up and running, and within that short amount of time, your house will become that much safer.
