When you are away from home or your office do you find yourself wondering what is going on there? Have you had some suspicious activity that you want to get to the bottom of? Or are you even just interested in deterring any potential future activity? If any of these questions are relevant to you then you should seriously consider a security camera system in your home or office. Perhaps this is something you have thought about before but found the hassle and cost to not be worth it. Fortunately, technology is continuously improving and there are now many options for systems that are wireless and, therefore, easy to install, as well as high-powered, versatile, and, most importantly, cost-effective. To be clear, “wireless” in this sense means that the video feed is sent from the cameras to either a cloud or physical storage device wirelessly. Most surveillance cameras and outdoor security cameras still require wired power.
Funlux Wireless Two-Way Audio Home Security Camera
Installing home surveillance systems might seem like an expensive proposition but it does not have to be. Take this Funlux system, for example. The three wireless cameras include all the technical specs that you may want, including Wi-Fi connectivity, night vision, and 115 degrees of 720p HD video. It even includes two-way audio functionality. The system is controlled entirely through the Funlux app which is simple and easy to use. All of this at this price point may seem too good to be true, but there is more. Historical video is only available if you subscribe to their cloud service, but Funlux gives all users six months free of their 7-day cloud recording plan. You will, therefore, have a nice long trial period to decide if it is something that you would like to continue.
