Choosing a Wi-Fi security camera doesn't have to be complicated. Discover the essential criteria and find the right solution for your home.

The essential criteria

Resolution

The minimum recommended today is 1080p Full HD. For greater detail (face or license plate recognition), opt for 2K or 4K. The price difference is small, but the image quality is significantly superior.

Night vision

Essential for any security camera. Check the range in meters — ideally at least 10m for indoor and 20m+ for outdoor. The best cameras use invisible infrared that doesn't disturb sleep.

Indoor vs. Outdoor

• Indoor — Focus on wide angle (110°+), two-way audio, and smart motion detection.
• Outdoor — Requires water resistance (IP65 or higher) and longer-range night vision.

Rotation and tracking

Cameras with 360° rotation and automatic motion tracking cover the entire room without blind spots — ideal for the living room or garden.

Storage

Check if the camera supports local microSD card (no monthly fees) or if it requires a cloud subscription. Most modern models offer both options.

Which one to choose?

For indoor use with good coverage and automatic tracking, the Wi-Fi Camera with Night Vision is a solid choice — effective night vision, wide angle, and full control via the app.

FAQ
