Home monitoring solutions for everyone.

Don't want to fork over the money for a state-of-the-art home monitoring system? No problem. Here are some reliable solutions that won't break the bank.

Advanced security cameras.

If you have a larger home or want more features, you may want to consider wired security kits. Wired kits feature mountable cameras that are always on so you don't miss a second. The cameras wire into a DVR device that compiles and archives your security footage. Some excellent options for more advanced security kits include Swann security and Night Owl security. These security systems feature always-on cameras designed with night vision, wide-angled viewing, weather-resistance and mobile notifications so you can check in from anywhere.

Streaming cameras.

Streaming cameras are simple to set up and link directly to a smartphone app or website. Some popular options include the Arlo by Netgear and Google's Nest Cam, which offer alerts when motion is detected and a monthly service option to record and access the video footage. These streaming cameras send data across your Wi-Fi. You can place them anywhere with Wi-Fi, making them extremely versatile (some IP cameras require power over Ethernet or from an outlet which may affect placement). Buy one for a small home or multiple to cover multiple rooms. Streaming cameras are an excellent option if remote viewing through your phone with easy setup is important to you.
