Many of the best known home security cameras on the market today - including the Amazon Cloud Cam, Nest Indoor Camera, Wyze Cam, Blink Indoor Camera, Canary View Indoor Camera, and Ring Spotlight Cam - cost between $100 and $200 (Wyze is the exception at $26) and share a lot of the same features: a microphone and speaker, a wide-angle lens, HD video recording, motion detection, night vision, Wi-Fi connectivity, and the ability to store video clips in the cloud, so you can view them later. Smart, internet-connected cameras have made it cheaper than ever to set up a home security system, but most of them come with hidden costs in the form of monthly or yearly subscription fees.

The Wyze Cam only costs $26 and keeps video clips (up to 12 seconds long) in the cloud for two weeks it can also record continuous video on a MicroSD card (not included with purchase).We compared the Nest Indoor Camera, Amazon Cloud Cam, Canary View Camera, Ring Spotlight Cam, Blink Indoor Camera, and Wyze Cam and the amount of video each stores for free, and the Wyze Cam was the clear winner.
