An optional 720p streaming camera integrates directly to the abode gateway, capturing events in real time and providing you with secure streaming to view from anywhere in the world. The abode system is easy to use through its free iOS and android apps, and self monitoring capacity is free. For those who are interested, however, there is also an optional professional
home alarm monitoring option that is provided in on demand three day, seven day, or monthly doses. Abode home security offers peace of mind with its various effective features, including night vision to help you see clearly what’s going on in your space even in the dark of night, battery backup for when the power goes out, cellular backup for when the power goes out or for mobile access to surveillance footage, and fully encrypted services. Visual event
verification helps to reduce the number of false alarms by this home security system as well. Amazon Alexa can be connected to abode as well, providing you with easy voice activation and control capabilities as well.

indoor cameras
This simply indicates how many separate camera video streams they can record. They
start from single channel devices going all the way up to 32. What level of video quality or resolution do you need?My usual recommendation of at least 1080p 2 Megapixels applies. There are tons of substandard 720p HD Ready systems you can get, but none of them will have the resolution needed to allow law enforcement positive identification of an intruder. Do you want the ability to use wireless
cameras as well?While I generally do not recommend using wireless for critical home systems such as security, there are some situations where a wireless camera makes sense. Now you don’t need a WiFi enabled NVR to use a Wi Fi camera – this is a common misconception.

However the reason I do not recommend them is that their cameras and NVRs are locked down – they do not work with any other brand or manufacturer’s products. You can see under the compatible products section of the product page, they list only a few Swann NVRs. This is because they do not support the ONVIF standard which guarantees inter operability. Or in other
words you are stuck with them once you start buying their cameras/NVRs similar to what Apple does with iOS. This is not at all the DIY spirit I subscribe to, so I avoid such brands.
