If you want to playback your home’s outdoor activity, you’ll need a camera with onboard video storage or cloud recording capabilities. Most cameras with recording capabilities have a built in secure digital SD or microSD slot that allows for sufficient recording space. Once the memory card is full, you’ll need to delete footage or store it elsewhere. Some popular cameras automatically override expired videos, which may not be most ideal if you need to keep a video. On the contrary, some security camera providers offer cloud storage monthly plans to securely store videos on the cloud. You can easily access them anytime, anywhere by signing into your account on your mobile device or using a mobile app. Some systems also record to DVD or mini disc, but most are now transitioning to DVR digital video recorder technology. A computer based camera system records your video to the PC’s hard disc, making it fast and easy to review your video history. Security cameras are the extra set of eyes to watch over your home at all times. If any motion is detected, you’ll automatically receive mobile alerts and the camera automatically records the activity for you to review. The best security cameras offer a real time view and are equipped with two way audio to scare off intruders using your mobile device.
