• Essential security camera features

• Camera Resolution

When you're buying a camera to keep an eye on your home, video quality is pretty much the be-all and end-all. Nowadays high definition or HD is pretty common and easily available, and affordable. In phrases of the resolution, 1080p is the most normally selected type.

• Night Vision

Once night falls, it becomes difficult for the camera to take clear pictures and videos. That's why we recommend buying a camera with a night vision mode. It ensures you have a clear picture of what's happening in the dark.

• Two-Way Audio

Like 1080p and night vision, two-way audio has come to be a standard we expect in safety cameras. Of course, the Owltron W1 and T1 cameras both has it. It is useful for people who want to talk with their kids or pets at home and make certain their safety and security.

• Motion Detection

Motion detection is actually a part of security cameras. It can detect things that are moving and record them. The primary advantage is that it cuts down the amount of footage being recorded, saving you tonnes of storage space.

• Smartphone APP & Alerts

Of course, your camera should have an app that can be remotely controlled. When it senses occupancy and accordingly issues an alert to you, also, you can inspect your home anytime, anywhere through an app.

• VideoStorage

Although many cameras support local storage and SD card storage, if you purchased a camera that supports cloud storage, this can help you record your internet data and save a lot of storage space.

• After-sale Service & Warranty

Most cameras come with a premium after-sales service. But 24/7 customer service is so rare that sometimes you want to ask for help but have to wait a long time for a response.
