Most cameras also provide night vision and automatic motion activated recording, and some can be connected to other smart home products, such as security systems and smart lights. After testing dozens of wired and wireless options, our favorite security camera is the Arlo Q $149. We found that it had the best software, the
most flexible options and the most affordable cloud storage subscription plan of the home security cameras we tested. Our favorite fully wireless, battery operated camera is the Arlo Pro 2; this 1080p camera's rechargeable battery can last for up to six months, and features two way talk capabilities. If you're looking for something under $100, our favorite budget security camera is the Wyze Cam 1080p, which costs about $25, yet has a surprising number of features for the price, and gives you 14 days of rolling cloud storage for free.

If you’re not looking to pay a monthly fee for professional monitoring, then abode is a great option that lets you self monitor. Their abode Essentials Starter Kit is pretty minimal, with only a Gateway, a door/ window sensor, a motion sensor, and a key fob plus the abode Cam, which I couldn’t resist adding. Installation is DIY, saving you more money, and abode has pretty good app and customer support ratings. Plus, abode has tons of
integrations with Google Assistant, Amazon Echo, Nest, Philips Hue lightbulbs, ecobee, LIFX, Yale, Kwikset, Z wave, First Alert, and IFTTT, so you’ll be able to create home automations galore. Nest Secure is a great option for apartments for a few reasons. One, they offer month to month contracting, which is awesome because you might not be there forever especially if the dryers don’t get fixed soon— sorry, that’s just me projecting a little. Two, the installation is super easy and won’t require any
drilling or hardwiring in your rented space, and three, you can choose to self monitor if you’d like.
