The short answer
Indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi security cameras compared on resolution, night vision, storage and privacy. We researched 3 models sold on Amazon.in and put each one in one of two piles: buy it, or skip it (with a few “consider” calls where it depends on you).
How the buy-or-skip call is made
We read spec sheets, manuals and warranty terms, check the service network in India and track the usual Amazon.in price. A product earns “Buy” only if we would recommend it to a friend at that price. No brand pays for a place on this list.
Check these before you buy
- Resolution: 2K gives clearer faces and number plates than 1080p.
- Storage: microSD avoids monthly fees; cloud backup protects footage if the camera is stolen.
- Outdoor: IP65 or IP66 for rain and dust.
India-specific tip
Set a strong password, update the firmware and avoid pointing cameras at neighbours’ homes; follow your housing society’s rules on common areas. The full checklist is in our security cameras buying guide.
