Smart security cameras are some of the most versatile home security devices that you can arm your home with. Not only can these devices provide you with a round-the-clock view of your property, but smart features can make managing your home as simple as a few taps on your phone. Here are three smart security cameras that, when paired with a robust home security system, can help ensure the safety of what’s most important to you.
Outdoor Cameras – Your First Line of Defense
Outdoor security cameras are the first devices to identify potential threats to your property. This initial heads-up can be the difference that stands between you and disaster. Outdoor security cameras are best used when targeting vulnerable or important points around your home. This can provide a constant view while many smart features simultaneously capture important information.
The best security cameras are capable of accurately detecting potential threats. Guardian’s outdoor security camera, for instance, includes Perimeter Guard to identify suspicious activity. When detected, it sounds an alarm and flashes light to help ward off intruders.
Additional video analytics allow you to focus your outdoor camera’s attention on a specific area. Through the Guardian Protection app, for example, you can create zones on your camera’s feed to receive notifications when activity is detected in this area. To be notified when your child returns home from school, for instance, you can establish a tripwire to receive alerts once they cross this invisible boundary.

Protect Your Porch With a Video Doorbell
A video doorbell is an easy way to monitor visitors, deliveries, and other activities on your front porch. With this device, you can receive notifications and check in on your porch’s activity through your mobile device, allowing you to answer the door whether you’re at home or not.
Guardian’s video doorbells offer a wide view of your porch as well as smart video analytics. This device can detect if a person, animal, or vehicle is near to better assess potential threats. To give you the best front porch oversight, you can set up notifications through the Guardian app and be notified anytime specific movement is detected. This is a great way to determine whether it’s a deer in your yard or a porch pirate you need to confront.
With Package Detection, Guardian’s video doorbells can also detect when a package is delivered. Through the app, you can create notifications to be alerted when that important package you’ve been waiting on is dropped off so you never have to wait in suspense again!
Indoor Cameras to Keep an Eye on the Inside
Outdoor smart security cameras that monitor the exterior of your property are just the beginning. Having a camera inside your home gives you a more well-rounded oversight of what is happening at your house, especially if you are not there to actively monitor it. Guardian Protection’s indoor cameras, for instance, have additional features that make monitoring the inside of your home even easier.
For instance, the two-way audio feature allows you to interact with what you’re seeing on your live feed from the Guardian app so that you can handle situations while you’re at home or away. You can also create rules on your indoor camera so that if an alarm is triggered your indoor cameras immediately begin recording footage, which creates archived evidence of what has happened. There’s no need to question what occurred when you can easily pull up the recorded clip for answers. This way, you can easily determine whether your kids accidentally set off the alarm or if you truly have a trespasser on your hands.
Manage These Home Security Cameras With One Mobile App
Fortunately, all of Guardian’s security cameras are manageable through the Guardian Protection app. You can check on live video feeds of your porch, property, or living room when you’re away and access recorded clips easily from wherever you are in the world. Also, you can adjust cameras’ settings — as well as other Guardian devices — all in the same app to make managing or checking in on your home security devices as simple as a few taps.

These smart security cameras help to provide the ultimate peace of mind to homeowners.
