If you're looking for a video security system to install in your apartment, you have several options. These options include Canary's Security Tower, Wyze, Amazon Cloud Cam, and Canary Flex. While each offers different features and benefits, there are several common considerations you need to keep in mind before purchasing a video security system.
Canary's Security Tower
Canary's new security camera system apartment is one of many options for smart-homes. For $169, this product offers a variety of features and a 90db siren to alert the authorities when someone breaks into the house. The system also features a mobile app and wide-angle video camera with night vision.
The cameras are available in multiple configurations. A single camera can be purchased or a complete tower, depending upon your needs and financial budget. HD resolution ensures clear, detailed images. The built-in speaker allows for two-way audio. This device doesn't have as many features as the Canary cameras. It lacks a one touch emergency button and siren.
Wyze
The Wyze security camera apartment system is one of the most inexpensive in the industry. It only costs $100 for a basic kit, which comes with two door/window sensors, a motion sensor, a keypad, and a base station with a built-in siren. The system can be outfitted on every door and window in your apartment, as well as in the main room.
The basic model can scan your entire apartment in about three seconds and has two-way audio for peace of mind. The camera can detect movement in its field of sight and send you a notification through your smart-phone's app. The camera also records videos in the cloud for 14 days and works with Alexa and Google Assistant devices.
Amazon Cloud Cam
The Amazon Cloud Cam is an easy-to-use security camera that you can use to keep an eye on your apartment. View the images directly from your camera from any Android or iOS smartphone. The video can be streamed to Echo devices or Fire TV sticks with screens. The cameras are capable of recording in high-quality 1080p at virtually zero lag.
Cloud Cam also comes with a motion sensor. This motion sensor records video when the camera detects motion. Push notifications can be sent to you when motion is detected. You can adjust the sensitivity of the camera so that it can detect a person-sized object from up to 20 feet away. The app allows you to set notifications intervals. These notifications can also be set to only reach your device such as your phone, tablet, or computer.
Canary Flex
The Canary Flex security camera apartment comes with a built-in battery, which can last up to a whole day. Privacy mode allows you to disable audio or video for privacy. You can also switch between cameras to monitor a specific area. Additionally, the camera features a 2-way communication button which allows you talk to the camera or download videos.
The Flex camera can sync with the Canary app, and it works with Wi-Fi networks. You first need to create an account on the Canary website, and then you can follow the setup instructions for the Flex camera on the app.

How To
How to Install a Home Security System
A home security camera is a device that monitors your house and alerts you when there's activity. It could be motion sensors, doorbell cameras, smoke detectors or burglar alarms. A home security package usually includes one or more sensors (e.g. a motion detector), which send signals whenever they detect sound or movement. The signals are then sent by the sensors to a control center where they are recorded and monitored. If there's a problem such as someone breaking into your house or other suspicious activity, the control panel sends an alert via your phone, tablet computer, voice assistant, or computer. You'll be able to immediately take action and know exactly what's happening.
It is important to choose the right type and size of sensors to fit your home before installing a security system. There are two main types: passive and active sensors. Passive sensors don’t require batteries. They only pick up sounds, vibrations and other signals from their environment. They include doorbells, sirens and buzzers. Active sensors use electricity to transmit data. Cameras and motion sensors are two examples of active sensors.
There are many different brands of sensors available today. Each brand has their own pros and cons. For example, some sensors are weatherproof, while others aren't. Some of them have built in speakers so that you can still hear them from outside. Some work only indoors. Others are more complex, while some offer more advanced features like night vision.
After deciding on the best type of sensors for your property, you'll want to choose a manufacturer. This will help you ensure your sensors work well together. The hardware store should offer many choices.
Once you have selected a brand of sensor, you need to decide the number you wish to buy. Depending on whether someone lives alone or with their family, most people buy one to two sensors. You may want to consider purchasing more sensors in the future if possible.
Next, determine where you want your sensors to be placed. Do you want them close to doors or windows? Are they best kept hidden? Make sure you get permission before placing them around your property. You should also ensure that they don't interfere with electrical outlets or other property features.
You now know where to place your sensors. Now you need a way for them to be connected to your control panel. You might need a power adapter for your setup. Once you have everything set up, you'll be ready to monitor your property!
