Wi Fi Security Camera for Home: The Ultimate Guide
In this guide, we will explore the best Wi-Fi security cameras for home automation. We’ll cover both cameras that work well and those that struggle with smart home integration.
Cameras to Avoid
- Wisecam: This camera system is absolute garbage, especially for smart home integration. It requires a monthly subscription for Amazon routines and lacks RTSP support.
- Uficameras: While these cameras have great standalone features, their smart home integration is extremely lacking. They can only trigger Amazon routines with motion, and Google routines only if the camera turns on or off.
- Topo Cameras: Topo cameras used to integrate well, but now they can’t trigger person detection for Google routines.
Cameras with Good Smart Home Integration
- Real Link: Real Link cameras integrate nicely into home assistants.
- Unify: Unify cameras also have good integration with home assistants.
