Unlike some of its competition, this device also offers optional facial recognition functionality and GPS based arming and disarming, which I thought was pretty convenient. I also liked the Ring Stick Up, thanks to its pairing with the Echo Dot and its ability for motion zone customization, which comes in handy if your property has certain obstructions that could otherwise hinder its ability to monitor a space appropriately. Also added the EZViz CTQ2C for the impressive night vision range and magnetic bases for easy installation. I also included the Reolink C2 Pro for its rotational flexibility and 3x optical zooming capabilities. I thought the expandable and weather resistant design of the Blink XT System made it a versatile surveillance solution for both indoor and outdoor use. The Amcrest UltraHD is a good option for use in low light surroundings and for keeping video file sizes down to a minimum, thanks to the H. 265 compression technology. I also included the Wyze Cam Wireless due to its Motion Tagging and Smart Sound Recognition functions. The former is used to display visual outlines of whatever it's tracking, while the sound recognition feature allows the unit to recognize the frequencies produced by many carbon monoxide detectors. Finally, I added the Morvelli FHD22 for its sleek appearance and powerful CMOS sensor.
