Frequently asked questions

Is a PTZ camera better than a fixed one?

For covering a large room or yard from one point, yes. Fixed cameras are cheaper and have no moving parts, so for a single doorway or specific view they can be the better choice.

Bottom line

Our top pick is the Tapo TC70 (our score 9.6/10) - A practical security camera (1080p, no-subscription storage) for home security, with phone alerts and infrared night vision..
