These cameras are very popular these days as they provide home and business owners peace of mind knowing that everything in their home is secure especially when they are away.

 

There are now a wide variety of CCTV cameras that offer different features to suit your needs. To make a wise purchasing decision, below are the things that you need to take into consideration before buying:

 

·       Alerts – You should get notifications on your phone when the camera detects an event. This allows you to keep tabs on your home in real time.

 

·       Cloud recording – Many CCTV providers now offer cloud-storage plans with the camera they sell. Depending on your need, they can record videos and store it between 24 hours and a couple of weeks.

 

·       Facial recognition – This is one of the newest features that some CCTV cameras, like Netatmo’s Welcome, offers. It alerts you when family members arrive home or if an unfamiliar face is spotted.

 

·       Night vision – This feature is very important because most burglaries happen after dark. Cameras with this feature automatically switch to night vision in low-light conditions and most allow you to customise when and how it should be activated.
