Amazon Cloud Cam Security Camera Review

The Amazon Cloud Cam security camera represents the next stage in home security systems.

It can record clips in high definition and offers round-the-clock cloud storage.

It has wider angle lens compared to most security cameras available on the market.

It also has a mobile app. And it works with Alexa, Amazon’s virtual personal assistant.

With all these impressive features, it is not surprising why the Amazon Cloud Cam is highly-regarded by many security experts and homeowners alike.

Superior camera

One of the strengths of this modern home security camera is that video clips are recorded in full, high definition. This is very important as the camera can capture clear images. It can also see clearly in the dark thanks to its Night Vision feature.

Plus, the camera itself has wide angle lens enabling it to cover the entire room. This compensates for the inability of the camera to pan or tilt.

24-Hour Cloud Storage

Another strength of this home security system is its 24-hour cloud storage. Unlike other older home cameras, the Amazon Cloud Cam doesn’t have micro SD storage. Instead, recorded clips during a 24-hour period are stored on the cloud.

Viewing and downloading of clips is free, too. In case of a burglar attempt or anything unfortunate, users can access their cloud storage, view or download videos and capture screen grabs from the app, if needed.

This is arguably one of the main selling points of the home security system as users don’t have to be near the camera in order to view or download recorded clips. They can retrieve recordings anytime and anywhere they may be.

Mobile App

Speaking of the Amazon Cloud Cam app, users can check their homes or properties anytime with the Cloud Cam mobile app. They can also get notifications through the app whenever the home camera detects activity. Videos captured or recorded by the camera can also be saved for up to a week on the mobile app.

The app also works like a remote control of sorts. It can be used for inverting video, turning off the infrared night light, or turning off the audio playback.

Alexa Personal Assistant

Finally, this home security system works with Alexa, Amazon’s answer to Apple’s Siri. Using voice commands, owners of this home security camera can do plenty of things.

For instance, they can instruct Alexa to show the live feed from the camera on their Fire TV. They can also ask Alexa to listen or speak through another Alexa-capable device using the two-way audio of the security camera.
