Best Wifi Home Security Camera System Consumer Reports

this is my first non-film camera. I purchased the Pentax for two reasons: 1--a best buy in Consumer Reports; 2. I've always had Pentax or Chinon and can use the lenses. It is a very cool camera. I found that following the operating manual is pretty simple, the dials, buttons, etc., were well laid out and easy to use. I really am extremely pleased. Also, the help and speed at B&H was remarkable.

This is the new version of the SX10 IS, which is rated #1 by consumer reports. I bought this camera for my wife as a present. She loves it. I don't have any complaints and would recommend this to anyone.

Works great in my home security system

Once you switch from the regular consumer grade AP to the Unifi you will understand the difference. The Big Boys in corporate environment have had access to high grade stuff for a while, but it was too expensive for the home use. Ubiquiti finally solved this problem. I live in a cul de sac, and for years, including a in a previous house, had been battling lousy wifi signal. I initially purchased the 2.4Ghz version, but the long range unit, and not only it absolutely eliminated the problems (I tried multiple APs, and all sorts of high powerAPs before), but now I could get connected almost 2 blocks away (and all over the cul de sac, which obviously was overkill). Now I upgraded to the dual band, regular rangeversion. It works all over the house without a hitch. Now, note it DOES require some setup, and some basic knowledge of network. It not 100% consumer grade, it is still more geared towards enterprise environment, but chances are if you know and care enough about your wifi to be annoyed by the lousy signal from other products, you probably know enough to this the unifi AP up. One more note, since I always see this question being asked: this is ONLY the AP, not the modem, switch, router, etc. Depending on your setup, you still need at least one more piece of hardware (such as, you can use the wifi or non wifi modem from the cable company which already comes with a router, and then disable their wifi, and use the Unifi AP instead, in one of the simplest setups). We cut the cord on cable TV a while back a home, and with more than 15 devices coneted at any time, including 3 chromecasts, the APs work flawlessly.

After researching all the available consumer-grade mesh WiFi systems out there, I settled on Ubiquiti.� For the same price as many of the consumer-grade systems, I've been able to setup a professional grade mesh WiFi network with ethernet backhaul that covers our entire house, and the outside areas we use regularly.� I've had a few issues with other parts of the Ubiquiti system, but the access points have been flawless.� �If you have the experience, knowledge or patience to get a UniFi system setup, it's absolutely the best choice you can make for a mesh WiFi system that covers your house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first home security system and I am loving it! The quality (both sound and video) is exceptional. I love that I can speak into the camera to my cat. Turning the camera and adjusting the angles is simple, too. I am pleasantly surprised with how well the quality is at night, also. The ability to record when I want is nice, and also I love the motion/noise detector. I feel much more secure now.

I purchased this NVR for a simple two camera security system on my home. I bought a separate hard drive, which gave me twice the recording capacity for the same price as one that came pre-installed. Installation was easy, thanks to videos on YouTube. It came with the necessary connectors to install the hard drive. I installed the NVR , along with my cable modern and wifi router, in a pantry and it works fine. It is plugged into a good quality surge protector. It make a bit more noise that I expected, but it is not bothersome. Hopefully it will provide years of service.

Replaced a home camera security system that’s been running continuously since 2014. The hard drive in that system was a western digital purple drive. Unquestionable reliability is the reason another WD Purple drive was purchased for the new system.

We are very satisfied with the new doorbell camera. Of course, it’s only been in use for a week but is working very well with the Home Security System, as well as, the mobile app.

I have been very happy with my ecobee SmartCamera. Installation and configuration could not have been easier or more intuitive. Simply plug in the camera, open the ecobee app on your phone, step through adding the new device and the camera was up and running in a couple of minutes. One of the things I like about ecobee products is they appeal to a wide range of Users. You can keep it very simple or you can integrate the their devices into a larger ecosystem of home automation. I also purchased the door/window sensors with built in motion sensors as part of the ecobee as part of the Home Security Bundle. I also have an ecobee Smart Thermostat with Voice Control. All of these devices integrate though the ecobee App to create a very simple to use home security network for added peace of mind. And the Autopilot feature automatically takes care of turning on/off the security system as well as setting the thermostat to home/away as you come and go from your home. What a simple but effective system.
