Since most of them are app controlled and sync to Wifi, there is no installation hassle. No more excuses: it’s time to get safe. Read below to find your first home security kit!

Protect your entire home with this stealthy and cost-effective option. Armed with a motion detector and instant alarms, this battery-powered camera has all the bases covered when watching your home. It runs on Lithium AA batteries for a lifespan of two years, and even collects it’s input data (what it records around your home) and stores it in the Cloud. It comes with an Indoor and Outdoor option, making it an easy and versatile choice.

At approximately $29.5 per camera, this 4 camera set can’t be beaten.
