Resolution: 1080p vs 2K vs 4K
For most rooms, 1080p is enough. Step up to 2K/2.5K for detail across large spaces. 4K suits wide rooms or digital zoom.
Cloud vs Local Storage
Cloud is convenient but often requires monthly fees. Local microSD keeps footage private and avoids subscriptions.
Night Vision
IR gives black-and-white in darkness. Color night vision needs ambient light but shows full color.
Smart Home
Check Alexa, Google Home, or HomeKit compatibility before you buy.
Placement Tips
Mount 7–8 feet high, angled down. Avoid windows and neighbors’ property.
