Whether you're at home or away, security cameras are an excellent way to monitor your home, business, or children. Indoor security cameras are particularly useful, as they're able t

o capture clear, full-color video even at night or in low-light conditions.

Indoor security cameras come in a variety of styles, including bullet, dome, and camera-on-the-grid. However, they all work pretty much the same way. Most cameras connect to your Wi-Fi network and allow you to view your footage remotely on your smartphone or tablet. Some cameras also allow you to record footage to a MicroSD card or to the cloud.

Our lab has tested indoor security cameras for years, evaluating performance, ease of use, and smart home compatibility. We've also tested popular models by brands like Netgear, D-Link, and Linksys, as well as models by third-party companies, including Arlo, Nest, and Ring. Here are the best indoor security cameras you can buy in 2022:

The cameras are capable of capturing video at a resolution of up to 1920 x 1080. The cameras can connect to the NVR via Ethernet cable, or, if your home has Wi-Fi, you can directly connect each camera to the router. For added convenience, the NVR includes Wi-Fi, so you can easily view video from your home wireless network. The cameras use PoE (Power over Ethernet), so they don't need an additional power cable.

by YI Technology

Features two-way audio to allow you to receive and transmit audio from any location with a WiFi connection. Enhanced Night Vision - 8 individual 940nm infrared LED's, which automatically turns on infrared (IR) in low light conditions, allowing you to see clearly in the dark. (power source required)

We liked a lot about the YI Home Camera, and would recommend it to anyone who needs an inexpensive, easy-to-use system to monitor their home. It works like other home security cameras in that you mount it somewhere, then connect it to Wi-Fi. The Home Camera can be mounted on a wall or ceiling, or placed on a flat surface. It streams its video feed to your phone, tablet, or computer (via the YI Home App), where you can watch live video feeds, playback video, and set up other preferences. The one complaint we had about the camera is that the camera's viewing angle is too narrow, so it's sometimes difficult to see what's happening at the edges of the frame. The Home Camera can also record video to a MicroSD card, but The app doesn't include a way to view or playback recordings on the card. The Home Camera's night vision is excellent, and there's a two-way audio option, so you can communicate with anyone inside the camera's field of view. The YI Home Camera doesn't have all the high-end features we'd like, like facial recognition, but for basic indoor monitoring, it's excellent.

Reolink E1 Pro 4MP HD Plug-in Home Security Indoor Camera with 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi, Two Way Talk, Motion Alert, Multiple Storage Options, Ideal for Baby Monitor/ Pet Camera

Reolink E1 Pro 4MP HD Plug-in Home Indoor Security Camera with 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi

by Reolink Digital

Easily control your WiFi camera to rotate 355 horizontally and 50 vertically. With 8 pcs IR LEDs, you can see every move of your baby or pet clearly at night.

The Reolink E1 Pro offers good image quality for its class, and it's easy to install and use. The two-way talk feature allows you to communicate with your baby or pet, which is nice, but it's more limited than the two-way audio offered by the Nest Cam. It's also not cloud-connected, so any recordings that are stored on the camera require a local microSD card. The E1 Pro's 4MP resolution is better than most indoor cameras, and it supports 24/7 monitoring when connected to Reolink NVR. The Reolink client app is easy to set up, and it allows you to remotely view and respond to motion alerts, and you can also chat with your family or friends through the app. The Reolink E1 Pro has night vision, which is typical of most indoor cameras, and it's also relatively easy to set up. The E1 Pro's 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal is only 5-6dB stronger than the 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi signal of its closest competitor, the Nest Cam Outdoor. If you use a Wi-Fi router with multiple 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz antennas, the Reolink E1 Pro will benefit from the 5.8 GHz signal, but many users will find that 5.8 GHz isn't strong enough, especially in rooms with lots of walls or thick concrete or metal walls. The E1 Pro's night vision isn't as good as what you get from an outdoor camera, but it's better than most indoor cameras. The E1 Pro is also easy to uninstall and move around, which is nice, and it's lightweight.
