Score: 72/100Rankings
The Vision Well CG6S is a budget-friendly 2K battery-powered outdoor camera featuring AI detection and color night vision. Its main drawbacks are inconsistent WiFi connectivity and slow motion detection response times. It is best suited for low-to-medium activity areas like backyards or garages where flexibility is prioritized over high-speed security response.
The Kasa Smart Indoor Pan Tilt Home Security Camera is a budget-friendly 1080p HD Wi-Fi camera featuring 360° horizontal and 113° vertical pan/tilt coverage. Its main trade-off is the poor motion tracking reliability and unintuitive app interface. It is best suited for budget-conscious users in apartments or small homes needing basic indoor monitoring.
