Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired)
Specifications
- Video resolution: 1080p
- Field of view: 135 degrees
- Night vision: Up to 15 ft, two 850 nm infrared LEDs
- Audio: full-duplex
- Local Storage: No

The updated Nest Cam (Indoor, wired) is the newest version of the well-known Dropcam, which was one of the first and still one of the best home security cameras. It has a lot of changes, such as a lot more intelligence, with features like face recognition and three hours of video recording.
The 1080p camera on it took great videos both during the day and at night. The sound quality was also great; the microphone picked up sounds very well. Also, it was very simple to set up. The camera's sticky base made it easy to move it to get the perfect shot.
To get the most out of the camera, you'll need to pay for the Nest Aware service. You can store videos for three hours, have the camera identify people, and make your own activity zones, even if you don't pay for a contract. This is more than Ring and Arlo cameras can offer.

Wyze Cam v4
Specifications
- Video resolution: 1440p
- Field of view: 116 degrees
- Night vision: Yes (color)
- Audio: full-duplex
- Local Storage: Yes
- Battery Powered: No
- Weather Resistant: Yes
- Smart Home Compatibility: Alexa, Google Assistant
You shouldn't be fooled by its low price; the Wyze Cam v4 is the best cheap home security camera. The Wyze Cam v3 only has a 1080p resolution, but this camera has a 1440p resolution. The quality isn't as good as the 4K Arlo Ultra 2, but it's still clear enough to see who's there. We were able to clearly see all kinds of features in a scene outside at night thanks to its color night vision. Like the Wyze Cam v3 Pro, it also has a 72-lumen flashlight that helps light things up even more. But the Wyze Cam v4 needs to be plugged in, while the Blink Outdoor 4 doesn't.
The Wyze Cam v3 will save 14 days of video information even if you don't pay for a membership. However, clips can only be 12 seconds long, and there is a "cool down" time between each recording, so you might miss what you want to catch. The camera does, however, have a microSD card slot that you can use to record continuously and make time-lapse movies. If paid extra a month for each camera, Wyze Cam Plus gives you unlimited-length movies with no cool-down times. This is the cheapest security camera plan, but Wyze doesn't have as much video history as its rivals.

Ring's Stick Up Cam Battery can be used as a security camera inside or outside. It has a simple design and can be attached from the back or the base, giving you options. You will need to buy a separate ceiling fix kit, though, if you want to hang it from the roof. There are no wires on this camera because it runs on batteries, and Ring says that a single charge will last for months.
Overall, it has good coverage, as its view is bigger than it is tall. It also has a speaker, so you can talk to any strangers or sound the alarm if needed. It has an IPX5 grade for waterproofing and can handle ranges from -20°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C), so it can handle the weather.
You have to pay for a membership to store movies, since you can't do it yourself. Also, it only works with Alexa for smart home integration. If you have Google Home, the Nest Cam is a better choice. If you use Apple HomeKit, the Logitech Circle View is the best option.
Ring has several versions of this model. You can get either the Stick Up Cam Battery or the Stick Up Cam Plug-in. For extra amount, you can get either the Stick Up Cam Battery or the Stick Up Cam Plug-in or the Stick Up Cam Pro. The Pro version has a bigger field of view, dual-band Wi-Fi, HDR video, and 3D Motion.

The Nest Cam (battery) is well-made and has a simple shape. Its sticky base makes it one of the easiest home security cameras to set up. Its 1080p camera takes clear pictures day or night, and its microphone and speaker make it easy to talk on the phone.
Along with being able to identify people, cars, and animals, the Nest Cam (battery) also lets you store three hours of videos for free. You can store up to a month's worth of video and recognize known faces if you sign up for a Nest Aware contract.

Blink Outdoor 4
Specifications
- Video resolution: 1080p
- Field of view: 130 degrees
- Night vision: 25 feet
- Audio: half-duplex
- Local Storage: Yes
- Battery Powered: two AA
- Weather Resistant: Yes
- Smart Home Compatibility: Alexa
If you want a truly portable home security camera, the Blink Outdoor 4 is the best choice. Two AA batteries power the camera, and they should last up to two years. The camera talks to a small base station that's connected to your Wi-Fi network wirelessly.
The case of the Blink Outdoor 4 is waterproof, so you can put it anywhere inside or outside. It also comes with an easy-to-use hanging bracket. The 1080p video it takes is good for the price, but not the best. You can't save movies to the cloud for free, but you can save them to a USB drive. It lets you see who is viewing your movies, gives you faster access to them, and lets you see them for longer during live views.
The app for the Blink camera is pretty good, and while it doesn't have as many features as Arlo's cameras, this one has a lot for the price. We like Blink better than Wyze as a cheap outdoor camera because you don't have to worry about putting it in. You can mount it anywhere.
Blink also sells an Outdoor Floodlight Mount that adds two 700-lumen floodlights that turn on when motion is detected to the Blink Outdoor 4. This will help you see even better at night.
