Employing HomeKit is

a good way to keep

your devices contained

— Eve’s Thermo offers

zoned heat control.

EUFYCAM E

$299.99 (two cameras) eufylife.com

Eufy’s wireless cams connect to a base station

which stores recordings on an SD card, so you

don't have to download footage. Not the

cheapest solution, but neat if you’re looking for

a powerful camera without a cloud connection.

WYZE CAM V2

$19.99 wyze.com

For in–home security, the low price of the Wyze

Cam makes covering your whole home cost–

effective. You can't use features like Family

Sharing without the cloud, but that’s probably a

positive if you find that kind of thing unsettling.

SWANN SMART WIRELESS INDOOR/

OUTDOOR CAMERA

$119.99 swann.com

A versatile camera with a 120º field of view, great

night vision, and a magnetic mount that makes it

quick to remove if you want to get to recordings

stored on its internal memory. Fully weatherproof,

too, so perfect for outdoor use.
