Security products solve different failures. Start by naming what you need to prevent, what must still work during an outage, who needs access, and whether recordings or credentials should remain under local control.

What to compare before choosing
- Define the threat and failure you are solving before comparing feature lists.
- Check what still works when the internet, cloud service, phone, or household power is unavailable.
- Separate hardware cost from storage plans, monitoring fees, replacement batteries, and paid account tiers.
- Document recovery keys, owner accounts, emergency access, exports, and device-reset steps before an incident.
