A smart security camera is a device that uses advanced technology to monitor and record activities in a specific area. These cameras can connect to the internet, allowing users to view live footage or recorded videos from their smartphones or computers. They often come with features like motion detection, night vision, and two-way audio, enhancing home or business security. Many smart security cameras are equipped with artificial intelligence, enabling them to distinguish between people, pets, and objects. Some models can send alerts to users when unusual activity is detected. Popular brands include Ring, Nest, and Arlo, each offering various features to suit different needs.
