Are Cheap Security Cameras Good?
“Modern security cameras linking to smartphones are a game changer in home security,” says David Linehan, The Good Guys Buyer – Tech Accessories. “With even the most basic of cameras you can get smartphone alerts and notifications when intruders are detected, and you can even speak to people in the house. Phone app access, motion detection tech and night-vision capabilities are now standard features in even the cheapest models.”
Cloud-based recording allows simple security devices to tap into terabytes of storage, turning small cameras into mighty protection. Pair and connect indoor, outdoor and doorbell security cameras for a full security system.
Look for Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa compatibility to add another layer of safeguarding technology with tech you already have. Worried about running costs? Some models are even solar powered!
