If you're short on time, skip the popcorn. Here is the brutally honest, no-fluff breakdown of the specs, the prices, and why we consistently come out on top.
The Starter Cameras
For when you just need a basic set of eyes without emptying your wallet. Spoiler alert: We do it cheaper and better, and we absolutely will not force you to buy a separate $50 hub just to save your own footage.

The Versatile Heavy-Hitters
Stick these anywhere—from the bookshelf to the side gate. Both shoot in crisp 2.5K, but thanks to our Starlight Sensor, only one lets you actually identify the color of a trespasser's jacket in the dark instead of showing you a washed-out, Twilight Zone blob.

The Front Porch Bouncers
The front door is your home's first line of defense. We packed our doorbell with a sharper view and a rechargeable battery so you aren't constantly feeding it double-A's like a 90s Gameboy. Oh, and we actually play nice with your Google Assistant displays.
