Do you need to keep an eye on your home when you’re out? It could be for security, to monitor a delivery, or even to keep an eye on your pet. The solution is to install an IP security camera. An IP camera will connect to your Wi-Fi and allow you to view the feed through an app on your phone. You only need to provide power and the details of your wireless network. The camera can record or send an alert when it detects motion. Here are the two best choices for IP cameras:

Netgear Arlo Q

This 1080p/30 fps camera is the best IP camera that money can buy. The camera has excellent video quality along with top-notch motion detection. The software allows scheduling of recording and motion detection. The best part of the device is the intuitive user interface, which most smart home devices lack.

Nest Cam Indoor

There are several good points to the Nest Cam Indoor. The third generation product from Nest increases its native resolution to 1080p and comes with a swiveling magnetic base which makes it easy to install anywhere. The video quality is excellent, and the device is easy to set up. The only reason that the Nest Cam Indoor is not the number one pick is that you need the $10 monthly subscription to make the full use of the camera.

When picking out a camera, avoid mixing and matching vendors to ensure maximum compatibility. The Nest Cam integrates with other Nest products, so that is also a consideration.
