To get more than a live view, you'll need a MicroSD card, or sign up for a cloud subscription (from $3 per month). The app is easy to use, so you don't have to be a tech wizard to figure it out. This Cync (formerly C by GE ) camera is affordable, captures 1080p video at 25 frames-per-second, and offers two-way audio. Ready for it to monitor? Slide it back down. Slide the shutter up when you're home and you see bright red plastic and a crossed-out camera symbol, and the lens sees nothing. You can turn your cameras around, turn them off, or unplug them, but the shutter here makes it easier. Live video feed is pretty sensitive information, so if you're going to invite a camera into your home, it's wise to take some precautions. Plus, the app has two-factor authentication, and you can't opt out of it. I prefer cameras that pan (see many choices below), but this one from Cync ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends) beats out everything else with one important feature: a shutter that covers the camera lens when you don't want it watching-or listening!-to you. You could also turn the camera around for good measure. Some cameras have a physical shutter that you can close or a sleep mode that obscures the lens.
