Best Outdoor Security Cameras of 2023

Video doorbells are great for keeping an eye on the entrance to your home, but what about your backyard? Or your driveway? For those, you need outdoor security cameras.

These security cameras are weatherproof, and most run on rechargeable batteries, allowing you to mount them almost anywhere, even to a tree (provided it’s still in range of your home’s WiFi). If you have floodlights in these areas, you could even take advantage of their steady stream of power and install specialized floodlight security cameras.

Most cameras save footage to the cloud, but some let you save it locally on an SD card or a USB drive. Either way, the cameras use rolling storage, where the oldest footage is deleted to make room for new footage when there is no free space.

The smart features you’ll find on any given camera vary, but many of them send you smartphone alerts when they “see” things of interest, such as people, cars, animals, and packages. Other common features include voice control via digital assistants, such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home; two-way audio, for speaking to visitors via your smartphone or digital assistant; and the ability to silence motion alerts at certain times of day—say, during the day while you work from home.

In our tests, we assess the smart features in each outdoor security camera, plus the video quality (including how well night vision works) and how quickly you get an alert when the camera detects motion. And though privacy outside your home might not be as big a concern as what goes on inside your home, we still score models on how well they protect your data.

“Even outdoor cameras pose privacy and security concerns,” says Justin Brookman, CR’s director of technology policy. “Depending on where the cameras are positioned, they can reveal a lot about you, such as when you tend to leave and come home, and with whom. A hacker could potentially use that information to determine when would be a good time to break into a home, or at least snatch some packages. ”

Below you’ll find details on the 10 best outdoor security cameras from our tests, listed in alphabetical order. They’re made by Arlo, Eufy, Google Nest, Lorex, Ring, and TP-Link. All feature two-way audio and voice control via Amazon Alexa. Here are other features you’ll find in some of these models.

• Monitoring zones: This feature allows you to highlight areas of the camera’s field of view, such as a driveway, to monitor for movement—or ignore when there is movement, such as a busy street.
• Person, package, vehicle, and/or animal detection: The camera can detect their presence in its field of view and record footage.
• Geofencing: This feature uses your phone’s location so that the camera will record and/or send alerts only when you’re away from home.
• e911: You’ll find e911 in the camera’s smartphone app. With it, you can call your home’s local 911 dispatcher directly if there is an emergency. That could save valuable time if you’re away from home, because usually you’d be connected to the 911 dispatcher closest to where you’re calling from. In that case, you’d need to be put through to your local police department so that you can ask them to check on your property.

Arlo Essential Wireless Security Camera VMC2030-100NAS

Free video storage: None.
Optional subscription costs: Through an Arlo Secure plan, you can get 30 days of cloud video storage for $5 per month for one camera or $13 per month for unlimited cameras; 30-day storage with in-app emergency response buttons for $18 per month for unlimited cameras; or all those features plus the Arlo Safe personal safety app and professional monitoring for the Arlo security system for $25 per month.

CR’s take: The Arlo Essential Wireless Security Camera is a fantastic security camera, receiving excellent ratings in our tests for video quality and data security. It also performs quite well in our response time test, but its data privacy could be better. This model gives you a built-in spotlight that allows for color night vision, a rechargeable battery, a siren, and voice and app control (via Amazon Alexa, Apple Home/Siri, and Google Home/Assistant), and it connects directly to WiFi (unlike its siblings below, which use base stations).

With an Arlo Secure subscription, you can get 30 days of cloud video storage for motion-triggered video clips as well as monitoring zones; person, package, vehicle, and animal detection; and emergency response buttons in the Arlo app, which allow you to request police, fire, or medical services with just a tap. The company offers subscriptions for 24/7 continuous video recording, too. If you don’t want to pay a monthly fee for video storage, you can use an Arlo Smart Hub ($100, sold separately) to save footage on a USB drive instead. The hub is also required for Apple Home/Siri to work.

Arlo Go 2 LTE WiFi

Free video storage: Yes, with a microSD card (sold separately).
Optional subscription costs: Through an Arlo Secure plan, you can get 30 days of cloud video storage for $5 per month for one camera or $13 per month for unlimited cameras; 30-day storage with in-app emergency response buttons for $18 per month for unlimited cameras; or all those features plus the Arlo Safe personal safety app and professional monitoring for the Arlo security system for $25 per month.

CR’s take: The Arlo Go 2 LTE WiFi delivers outstanding video quality in CR’s tests. It also has top-notch data security and a very good response time, though its data privacy rating is lackluster. This model features monitoring zones, person alerts, a built-in siren, a rechargeable battery, and voice and app control (via Amazon Alexa and Google Home/Assistant). 

With an Arlo Secure subscription, you can get 30 days of cloud video storage for motion-triggered video clips; person, package, vehicle, and animal detection; and emergency response buttons in the Arlo app, which allow you to request police, fire, or medical services with just a tap. The company offers subscriptions for 24/7 continuous video recording, too. If you don’t want to pay a monthly fee for video storage, there’s a microSD card slot for free and local video storage.

Arlo Pro 3 VMC4040P

Free video storage: Yes, via a USB drive.
Optional subscription costs: Through an Arlo Secure plan, you can get 30 days of cloud video storage for $5 per month for one camera or $13 per month for unlimited cameras, 30-day storage with in-app emergency response buttons costs $18 per month for unlimited cameras, or you can get all those features plus the Arlo Safe personal safety app and professional monitoring for the Arlo security system for $25 per month.

CR’s take: The Arlo Pro 3 is a terrific camera that excels in our performance tests for video quality and device response time—plus for how useful its smart functions are, and how secure your data is kept. Where it falls behind is data privacy, a measure of how your data is shared. This model performs similarly to its predecessor, the Arlo Pro 2, but adds a built-in spotlight that allows for color night vision, a siren in the camera itself (not the base station), a wider 160-degree field of view, and higher-resolution 2K HDR video.

An Arlo Secure subscription gets you 30 days of cloud video storage for motion-triggered video clips, as well as monitoring zones; person, package, vehicle, and animal detection; and emergency response buttons in the Arlo app. The company offers subscriptions for 24/7 continuous video recording, too. If you don’t want to pay a monthly fee for video storage, you can connect a USB drive to the base station and store footage there instead.

Eufy Cam 2C Pro T8861 (Two-Camera Kit)

Free video storage: Yes, using 16 gigabytes of built-in memory.
Optional storage subscription: Through a Eufy cloud storage plan, you can get 30 days of cloud storage for one camera for $3 per month or 30 days of storage for up to 10 cameras for $10 per month. For Apple Home users, an Apple iCloud+ storage plan gives you a rolling 10 days of storage for one camera for $1 per month, for up to five cameras for $3 per month, or for unlimited cameras, $10 per month.

CR’s take: The Eufy Cam 2C Pro is a bit unusual in that Eufy at minimum makes you buy a two-camera kit, making it better suited to shoppers looking for a multicamera system. In our tests, it performs well across the board, especially with its array of smart features. Its only flaw is its middling data privacy, but that’s a common issue for the majority of cameras in our ratings. The Eufy Cam 2C Pro packs a ton of features, including person detection, facial recognition, a built-in spotlight, monitoring zones, a siren, two-way audio, 16 gigabytes of memory for local video storage (there’s no SD card slot for expandable storage), and voice and app control via Amazon Alexa, Apple Home/Siri, and Google Home/Assistant.

A word about Eufy’s digital privacy and security: In November 2022, Eufy had a security issue that allowed camera feeds to be accessed with a media player. The company claims to have fixed it, but our test engineers are looking into the issue. We’ll update this article if we learn more. This follows a May 2021 security problem where Eufy users were accidentally able to access cameras owned by other users. The company said at the time that it was working to put additional safeguards in place to prevent such issues from happening again.

Eufy Solo Cam S40

Free video storage: Yes, using 8 gigabytes of built-in memory.
Optional subscription costs: Through a Eufy cloud storage plan, you can get 30 days of cloud storage for one camera for $3 per month or 30 days of storage for up to 10 cameras for $10 per month. For Apple Home users, an Apple iCloud+ storage plan gives you a rolling 10 days of storage for one camera for $1 per month, for up to five cameras for $3 per month, or for unlimited cameras, $10 per month.

CR’s take: The Eufy Solo Cam S40 is the first security camera CR has tested with a built-in solar panel to recharge its battery. In our tests, it offers superb video quality, and it receives very good ratings for its response time and data security. The camera doesn’t offer great data privacy, though, which is common among these devices. It features monitoring zones; person alerts; voice control via Amazon Alexa and Google Home/Assistant; a built-in siren; color night vision, thanks to its built-in spotlight; and 8GB of memory to store footage locally.

Google Nest Cam (Battery)

Free video storage: 3 hours of free video clips.
Optional subscription costs: Through a Nest Aware plan, you get 30 days of storage for video clips for $6 per month or $60 per year, or 60 days of storage for video clips and a rolling 10 days of storage for 24/7 video recordings for $12 per month or $120 per year.

CR’s take: The Google Nest Cam (Battery) is a strong performer in our tests, offering near top-level video quality, data security, and response time scores. It’s also one of few security cameras to give you monitoring zones, object recognition (of people, packages, animals, and vehicles), and 3 free hours of cloud video storage without a monthly subscription. The camera works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home/Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings for voice and app control. Cloud video storage and additional features (such as facial recognition) require a Nest Aware subscription.

Lorex Smart Indoor/Outdoor WiFi W282CAD-E

Free video storage: Yes, using the included 32-gigabyte microSD card.
Optional storage subscription: No.

CR’s take: The Lorex Smart Indoor/Outdoor WiFi W282CAD-E is an all-around great performer in our lab tests. Its video quality is top-tier, and it receives high marks for data security and response time. It offers midlevel data privacy in our tests, but that’s common for this product category. This camera comes with a 32-gigabyte microSD card for local video storage and features two-way audio, monitoring zones, person detection, vehicle detection, a siren to scare off intruders, and voice and app control via Amazon Alexa and Google Home/Assistant. But be aware, unlike most other cameras in this category, this Lorex doesn’t have the option to use rechargeable batteries, and has to be wired in for power.

Ring Stick Up Cam (Battery) 3rd Generation

Free video storage: None.
Optional subscription costs: Through a Ring Protect plan, you get 180 days of cloud video storage for one camera for $4 per month or $40 per year, or 180 days for unlimited cameras for $10 per month or $100 per year. Ring also offers a plan with 180 days of storage for unlimited cameras and 24/7 professional monitoring for $20 per month or $200 per year.

CR’s take: For a camera that’s priced lower than many of the models on this list, consider the third-generation Ring Stick Up Cam (Battery). This camera works both indoors and outdoors, and gives you monitoring zones and voice control via Amazon Alexa. In our tests, it receives first-rate scores for video quality and response time. We also found that Ring does a good job of keeping your data secure, but its data privacy is lacking, in part because Ring doesn’t clearly state how long it retains your data and when it deletes it. If you subscribe to a Ring Protect video storage plan, you’ll get photo snapshots between recordings in the Ring app as well as person detection.

TP-Link Kasa Cam Outdoor KC420WS

Free video storage: Yes, with up to a 256-gigabyte microSD card (not included).
Optional subscription costs: Through a Kasa Care plan, you get 30 days of cloud storage for one camera for $3 per month or $30 per year, or 30 days of storage for up to 10 cameras for $10 per month or $100 per year.

CR’s take: The TP-Link Kasa Cam Outdoor KC420WS offers impeccable video quality, speedy response time, and strong data security in our tests, though it receives an unfavorable rating for data privacy. Its many features include voice and app control via Amazon Alexa and Google Home/Assistant, monitoring zones, person alerts, a built-in siren, color night vision, and local video storage when you insert a microSD card (not included). If you’d like to store your footage in the cloud instead, you can sign up for a Kasa Care plan for a rolling 30 days of cloud video storage.

TP-Link Tapo C310 2K Outdoor

Free video storage: Yes, with a 256-gigabyte microSD card (not included).
Optional storage subscription: No.

CR’s take: If you’re searching for a security camera with quick response time and stellar video quality, give the TP-Link Tapo C310 2K Outdoor a close look. This indoor/outdoor camera captures video with higher quality than most of the wireless security cameras CR tested. In addition to voice and app control via Amazon Alexa and Google Home/Assistant, this model features a built-in siren, monitoring zones, night vision, and person alerts. Its data privacy rating is lackluster, but it has strong data security. Videos can be stored locally on a 256-gigabyte microSD card (sold separately).

Review of the best wireless cameras for home surveillance: pros and cons

August 6
2019

2 comments

Wireless cameras have conquered the security market as they offer a number of advantages over their wired counterparts. The absence of wires suggests that they use Wi-Fi to connect and a wireless power source (battery) to work.

Considering the above, wireless cameras have made a breakthrough in the field of home security, and jumped the wired counterparts in the ranking. However, we couldn’t completely ignore high-end wired cameras like the Amcrest ProHD, Wyze Cam Pan, and Nest Cam Indoor.

Find out below about the best wireless cameras, which ones can be used indoors and outdoors, and what smart features they offer.

Wireless Surveillance Camera Reviews

Arlo Pro

The Arlo Pro ranks first on our list of the best wireless cameras. Why? Firstly, it is truly wireless, and secondly, it is suitable for both indoors and outdoors. At the same time, weather conditions and lighting do not affect the quality of the image. The installation process is also very simple.

It is not easy to resist the advantages of Arlo Pro, but there are also disadvantages – it often triggers an alarm, due to the high sensitivity of the motion sensor. In addition, you need to purchase a base station, which costs over $200.

Pros:
● no wires;
● versatility of use – both indoors and outdoors;
● Easy to set up
● Possibility of integration with the smart home system.

Cons:
● high price
● Requires base station
● Ultra-Sensitive Motion Sensor

Wyze Cam Pan

This funny-looking Wi-Fi camera can scan a room in 3 seconds. If you don’t want to scan the entire room, you can set up the Pan Scan feature to make the camera scan only the selected area. The device is very easy to track movements, paying attention to children and pets. Now you don’t have to guess who broke the lamp, and as another argument, a nice price – the Wyze Cam Pan costs less than $30. And its only significant drawback is the power cord, which limits the options for placing the device in the room.

Canary All-in-One

The Canary All-in-One indoor security camera combines home security features such as alarms and environmental scanners with an intelligent home security camera.

The Canary All-in-One is packed with so many safety features that many major insurance companies offer a discount on home insurance. Canary All-in-One can let you know if the romantic fire in the fireplace hasn’t gone out completely, or if the kids have left the water running in the bathroom. One of the few drawbacks is the limited night vision capabilities – only 6 meters in the dark.

Pros :
● camera, alarm and climate control;
● Self-learning technology to adapt to your habits;
● Integration with Alexa service;
● Direct connection to emergency services.

Cons :
● Only 6m range for night vision;
● Some features require a subscription;
● A poorly performing mobile app.

Frontpoint Premium Indoor Camera

We love Frontpoint’s wireless home camera because it combines security with style. The camera is complemented by a Bluetooth speaker, and you can instantly connect with other users in your Frontpoint account with a single tap. The digital panorama function allows you to scan the room, and the improved zoom ensures the quality and clarity of images. Now you will know which of the household members have been lounging on the couch all day.

Frontpoint compatible control app costs $14.99 per month and provides remote access and control, two-way audio, storage for up to 1000 video recordings, motion detection and customizable mobile alerts. You can also add it to a full Frontpoint home security system with 24/7 monitoring, but this requires a contract and the Frontpoint Max Package (which costs $49.99 per month).
Pros :
● Built-in Bluetooth speakers;
● 180° view;
● One touch call;
● Adjustable motion detection settings;
● Stylish design;
● 24/7 professional monitoring.

Cons :
● Requires a monthly fee to access the application;
● Additional cost about 15$.

Ring Spotlight Cam

Ring Spotlight Cam is a great home surveillance device that can be installed anywhere. Finding a place with a close power source and securing cables is a thing of the past. This wireless security camera is powered by a rechargeable battery or you can choose solar power. The use of a spotlight as an additional defense against intrusion is an excellent addition that most other security cameras lack. Plus, you can talk to visitors even when you’re not at home with the talkback feature. The most notable downside is the price, which is $200 per unit.

Pros :
● no cables;
● built-in searchlight;
● motion sensors;
● Compatible with smart home.

Cons :
● high price;
● small battery life;
● Wi-Fi issues.

Reolink Argus 2 Wireless Security Camera

The Reolink Argus 2 is a real gem that works equally well indoors and outdoors. Argus 2 is one of the few home security cameras with Starlight night vision technology. It gives clear images up to 10 meters away in zero ambient light. The camera has a rechargeable battery, or you can choose to charge with solar power. Both options provide greater freedom of choice in choosing the location of the device.

Installation is relatively easy. The only problem is that the cameras need to be set up via the mobile app. This means that you need to set up cameras on your mobile device, which can be a problem when you install multiple cameras around the house and inside.
Pros :
● Email and push notifications;
● built-in slot for microSD memory cards;
● Free video playback via Reolink app;
● No base station.

Minus :
● Wi-Fi connection issues;
● no possibility to view web pages;
● Motion detection delay.

Choosing a surveillance camera for your home is not an easy decision. You must immediately evaluate the advantages and disadvantages, as well as correctly set goals for the security system.
