Home security cameras have changed a lot in recent years. Security cameras are more affordable than they used to be, come in both wired and wireless versions, and can connect to the internet so you can monitor your property from nearly anywhere.

A home security camera is a video recording device that captures footage of your home and property that you can view on a smartphone, tablet, or computer from anywhere using an internet connection. Most home security cameras are motion-activated and will record when they detect motion, as well as send you an alert. Some can record 24/7, which is known as continuous video recording (CVR).
