When burglars see a security camera, they do think twice; because they know about the built-in sirens and alarms of indoor cameras. A smart home indoor camera sends immediate alerts if you\u2019re out of the house, and you can quickly contact the police.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s the personal touch indoor cameras are user-friendly. Like if you want to have a look and see that your baby is safe. Or, if your pet has anxiety when it\u2019s alone. You can use the 2-way audio of your camera and have a friendly talk with them.<\/p>\n<p>A great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dortechdirect.co.uk\/hardware\/smart-home\/cameras\/indoor-cameras.html\">indoor camera<\/a> is also a recovery tool: with its recorded images and video clips, an indoor camera helps capture and record precious moments of everyday life. Such as the cute behavior of a dog when it\u2019s alone at home or the first steps of a baby. These clips are worth treasuring and watching over and over again.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-9116 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arenticam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2-way-audio.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.arenticam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2-way-audio.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.arenticam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2-way-audio-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.arenticam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2-way-audio-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.arenticam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2-way-audio-980x490.png 980w, https:\/\/www.arenticam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2-way-audio-480x240.png 480w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Smart Home Indoor Camera: What to Consider<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Camera\u2019s Field of View<\/strong>: Essentially the bigger the FOV, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dortechdirect.co.uk\/dome-indoor-2k-wi-fi-pan-tilt-security-camera.html\">wider your shot.<\/a> So choose a camera with a wide viewing angle, generally greater than 100\u00b0, which will help you monitor more places in your home. If you want 360\u00b0 surround monitoring, you can also choose a pan-tilt camera.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Always Connected<\/strong>: can your smart<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dortechdirect.co.uk\/indoor-2k-wi-fi-mini-camera-arenti.html\"> Wi-Fi indoor camera<\/a> always connect to your home network? Now, a wired camera that\u2019s connected directly to a router is also just as effective, but it\u2019s costly. For indoor use, a smart indoor wireless camera that supports 2,4 GHz Wi-Fi would be a good choice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Storage<\/strong>: as mentioned previously, it\u2019s a matter of how much you are willing to spend. Cloud storage is a monthly payment solution, it\u2019s great. It\u2019s cheap and the downside is mostly if you\u00a0<em>had to<\/em>\u00a0scrub your footage. It can take a while (<em>unless you can download it<\/em>) compared to internally stored footage where you just plug your MicroSD card into your computer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Video Quality<\/strong>: just how sharp and vibrant do you want your footage to be? General rule is, the higher the quality, the more you will have to pay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Range and Types of Detection<\/strong>: without getting complicated, the algorithm (sometimes LiDar) behind the detection software found in your IP cameras solves for range and box sizes meaning how far do you want for it (IP camera) to see and how big or small of an object do you want to it to consider.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Added Features to Consider:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Does it have a Mobile App whereby you can stream footage wherever you are?<\/li>\n<li>Can you live-stream your indoor camera?<\/li>\n<li>What about the Night vision?<\/li>\n<li>2-Way Audio: you can not only hear what they\u2019re saying but you can actually talk back.<\/li>\n<li>Does it have an option for automatic detection of\u00a0<em>any\u00a0<\/em>(specific) motion?<\/li>\n<li>Clear and Stable Picture?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Want to find out more?
