Purpose and Placement

• Indoor vs. outdoor - Determine where you'll be placing the cameras. Outdoor cameras are designed to withstand the weather, while indoor cameras may have more refined features for close-up views.

• Visibility - Decide if you want your cameras to be a visible deterrent or if you prefer discreet surveillance.

Camera Quality and Features

• Resolution - Look for cameras with high-definition (HD) resolution, ideally 1080p or higher, for clear image quality.

• Night vision - Ensure cameras have infrared (IR) night vision to capture clear footage in low-light conditions.

• Field of view - Consider the angle width you need. A wider field of view will capture more area but may have less detail at a distance.

• Audio features - Two-way audio allows you to listen in and speak through the camera, which can be helpful for video doorbells and indoor monitoring.

Connectivity and Storage

• Wired vs. wireless - Wired cameras are more reliable and can be better for permanent setups, whereas wireless cameras offer easier installation and more flexibility.

• Cloud vs. local storage - Decide if you want to store footage in the cloud (which often comes with a subscription fee) or locally on a hard drive or SD card.

Integration and Accessibility

• Smart home compatibility - If you have a smart home ecosystem, look for cameras that integrate seamlessly with it.

• Remote access - Cameras should have a companion app that allows you to receive alerts and view live footage on your smartphone.

Brand and Support

• Reputation - Choose a brand with good customer reviews and reliable customer service.

• Warranty and support - Look for products with a solid warranty and accessible technical support.

Security

• Encryption - Make sure the cameras use strong encryption standards to prevent unauthorized access to your data

• Regular updates - Opt for brands that provide regular firmware updates to keep the security features current.
