Why it matters
One wide-angle lens covers the whole room while a pan-tilt lens tracks movement, and the HOME V app shows both. Motion and sound alerts, eight infrared LEDs for night vision and two-way audio are included. Store video on microSD up to 256 GB or in encrypted cloud storage. It uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
