Smart Home & Security

Useful technology should be reliable, simple to operate and respectful of privacy.

What to compare

• Video doorbells: wired versus battery power, subscription requirements, accessibility and visitor alerts.
• Security cameras: field of view, local versus cloud storage, night vision and account security.
• Leak and smoke alerts: notification delivery, backup power and compatibility with existing alarms.
• Smart locks: manual key access, battery failure behavior and ease of operation.
