A Wi-Fi-enabled security camera is an excellent way to keep an eye on your home while you’re away. You can check-in on the pets while you’re at work, and in the case of those with built-in microphones, quickly tell your kid that they’re supposed to be studying instead of playing video games. Even better, if you have an Amazon Echo device and use Alexa to do all the smart things in your home, an Alexa-enabled security camera can do wonderful things for you.<\/p>\n

Wyze Cam v2<\/h4>\n

Staff pick<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The second-gen Wyze Cam is everything you loved about the first generation but better. It offers 1080p live streaming and recording with a night vision range of up to 30 feet, and it now tags motion in both live stream and recorded video, detecting and outlining moving objects, people, or animals. This is the best bang for your buck.<\/p>\n
