Smart home cameras with real AI — privacy, local detection, and alerts
The newest cameras do more on‑device: person, pet, package, and zones — without sending footage to the cloud. Here’s what to buy in 2025.
What to look for
- Local detection (no cloud required) with person/pet/package.
- Privacy shutters and quick disable.
- Good low‑light performance and usable HDR.
Best picks
- Best overall: Cam A — fast local detections, great app.
- Best for privacy: Cam B — physical shutter and local storage.
- Best budget: Cam C — solid detections and smart zones under $100.
Install tips
- Place at head height and avoid pointing at public sidewalks.
- Set smart zones to reduce false alerts from trees and cars.
