Security gear has to fit the home and the people in it

A camera can create privacy, subscription, storage and mounting questions. Before buying for a holiday, check where it points, who can see footage and how alerts work.

Check no-drill and tenancy limits

In rented homes, mounting method, cable route and landlord rules matter. Choose only options that fit the property permissions.

Check storage and subscription wording

Some cameras rely on cloud storage or subscriptions for useful features. Check what works without a subscription and what happens when the trial ends.
