Benefits of Adding Interior Cameras to Your Security System

Identify Intruders

Approximately 45 million homes already have video doorbells. Nevertheless, some of these households do not have indoor cameras.

Outdoor security cameras may help deter thieves from entering your dwelling. However, if intruders do break into your home, indoor cameras can help you identify them.

Cameras inside your home may be better able to capture the intruders' faces. Moreover, they can help confirm what property has been stolen. As a result, law enforcement can more easily track down the criminals and recover your belongings. This is particularly important, as the value of property stolen in burglaries in 2018 was $2,799, and about 65 percent of burglaries occurred in residential properties.

Have Remote Monitoring

With an indoor security camera, you can check in on your home's interior from anywhere using your smartphone or computer. You can see a live feed of your home, receive alerts of any unusual activity, and even communicate with your family or pets through two-way audio.



An indoor live feed allows you to check on your kids, elderly relatives, or pets when you're at work or traveling, making sure they are safe and happy. You can even place interior cameras in entryways to easily capture departures and arrivals and ensure that your children adhere to bedtime and homework schedules.

Avoid Contact With Intruders

If intruders are in your living space, your indoor security cameras can warn you of their presence even if the invaders were able to avoid triggering alarms. As a result, you and your family are less likely to be injured by walking in on a burglary in progress.

Have Smart Home Connectivity

Many indoor security cameras are compatible with smart home devices and platforms, such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. This means you can control your camera with voice commands, integrate it with other smart devices like lights or locks, and create routines or scenes for automation.

See Detailed Footage

Indoor cameras with high-resolution options can capture important details in your footage. A camera that has at least 1080p resolution is considered full high definition (HD). Some cameras may offer 4K resolution, which is ultra-HD, but this may require more bandwidth and storage space.



Night vision features are also available and can help you capture details in low-light or dark conditions. This is important for capturing events that happen at night or in dimly lit areas of your home. Some camera options even have infrared LEDs or sensors that can illuminate the scene without being visible to the human eye.

Have Motion-Based Recording

Some indoor cameras have motion detection features that trigger a camera to start recording when it senses movement in its field of view. This can save battery life and storage space by only recording when something happens in your living space. It can also send you notifications or alerts when motion is detected so you don't have to manually monitor your home feed non-stop.

Have Storage of Precious Moments

Indoor security cameras can also be used to capture and store family footage that may happen when you aren't home. Precious moments, such as a baby's first steps, may be stored and relived on demand.
