The Belkin NetCam HD+ has a two year warranty, the longest in our comparison. Only Nest offers a comparable security camera warranty.

In bright daylight, the camera showed sharp details, providing a clear
image of everything in the room. The Flir FX doesn't have the same clarity in ambient daylight, but still produces excellent video. In nighttime video tests, the Flir FX was a close second behind our top performer, Belkin NetCam HD+, though its video clarity
weakened beyond 10 feet. Setting up Flir FX is unusual, as it doesn't work until its batteries, one in the camera and one in its base, charge for at least 30 minutes. However, no other security camera in our review has a battery backup. We didn't like that the mobile app makes you hunt for the button to view video, which isn't as convenient as putting it on the main screen when the app opens. The app has custom alerts, though it doesn't let you schedule recording or connect it to a smart home.

You can easily expand many wireless systems to include home automation by incorporating smart devices one by one or all at once. Devices in security systems communicate to one another using a specific protocol. Protocols include Wi Fi, Bluetooth, Z Wave, and others. Make sure that the automation devices you
want and the system you have speak the same protocol before
upgrading your home security. If you think you might want to switch to home automation in the future, check that the security company and equipment you buy allow for an easy transition. Easy, secured home automation is a huge benefit of wireless security.

If you’ve ever read any of my
camera reviews, you know that I hold all my cameras up to the Security Baron Necessary Features Test, which makes sure that they’re up to my high standards in terms of video, audio, night vision, storage, smart platform integrations, artificial intelligence, convenience, and value. After many months of reviewing different cameras from top brands like Arlo and Canary, I’m ready to show you the best security cameras of 2019. I love the Nest Cam Indoor— obviously, or I wouldn’t have named it my best camera!Video wise, the Nest Cam impresses with 1080p HD display, a wide 130 degree field of view and the ability to zoom in eight times. The night vision is similarly clear with eight infrared LED sensors, and the camera comes equipped with two way audio. Not only
does two way audio let you speak to whoever you’re recording, which can be an easy way to talk to family members from afar, but it’s also a great way to scare away intruders as a last ditch effort. You’d be scared too if a disembodied voice came screaming out at you to get out of their house!On a more negative note, the camera’s night vision wasn’t quite as clear as I’d like it to be.
