It’s more expensive than the budget cameras listed here, but less expensive than the Sense8 or Homehawk.Learn More How to Access IP Camera Cloud Storage The Ezviz Mini is a middle-of-the-road Wi-Fi camera with middle-of-the-road features. Still, WyzeCams are also missing two-factor authentication and have no built-in privacy shutter, so this is a certainly a case of getting what you pay for (and in this case the feeling of getting more than you paid for). This can be a concern for some, but Wyzecam explains they use this to initiate the p2p connections and all data is flowing through AWS. WyzeCams use ThroughTek to provide live video feeds. You can even enable continuous recording (and skip the cloud) by adding a microSD card.īut the low price does come with some security concerns.

WyzeCams come with free cloud storage, 1080p recording, two-way audio, night vision, and Alexa integration. You get a lot for the low pricing as well. It’s hard to beat it on price, and WyzeCam now offers a slightly more expensive camera that pans. We thought the WyzeCam was a pretty fantastic budget Wi-Fi camera. It doesn’t have everything though, as once again two-factor authentication is missing here, along with any sort of Alexa or Google Home integration. It has no subscription or cloud options, relying solely on a microSD card slot for local memory. Additionally, it has multiple mounting options, something not all Wi-Fi cameras have. To set it apart, the HomeHawk throws in a temperature sensor, continuous recording options, and a welcome built-in shutter for when you want privacy. Panasonic’s entry ticks the usual boxes with 1080p recording, night vision, two-way audio, and motion detection. The HomeHawk is another camera option that tries to give you nearly everything you need for one upfront price. The camera isn’t perfect though, as there still isn’t two-factor authentication, it offers no continuous recording options, and Google Home integration is listed as coming soon.

In addition the camera has Alexa functionality through IFTTT, motion detection, night vision, two-way audio, and a battery backup that allows for 2 hours of recording even when the power is out. It also has 8 GB of built-in storage so you don’t even need to purchase a microSD card. Instead of a cloud subscription, this camera ties into Dropbox and Google Drive APIs so you can load and access clips. Once you’ve paid for the $140 camera, you’ve purchased everything you need to use all its features. These Sense8 Camera starts things off strong by forgoing all subscription options.

If you want to just purchase a Wi-Fi camera without worrying about subscriptions, add-ons, or the need to purchase additional items, then the Sense8 Home Security camera makes a pretty strong case-as long as you’re willing to pay a little more up front. This camera offers no cloud storage, but instead, you can use a microSD card to keep your recordings in house. As we’ve said before, cheap Wi-Fi cameras do have certain drawbacks. More importantly, it lacks two-factor authentication.

There is no Google Home integration and Alexa support is limited to on/off functionality.

You’ll need to install a dedicated app to see your feeds on your phone or tablet, but you can watch up to four feeds on your desktop. You will find 1080p resolution (as the name implies), two-way audio, night vision, and some intelligence (such as detecting the sound of a baby crying and motion detection). This Xiaomi-made camera packs respectable features in a low price. The Yi 1080p Home Camera made our list of good budget cameras.
