How to choose
Battery power versus plug-in power
A battery camera runs on its rechargeable battery, so it can sit on a shelf or mount on a wall with no outlet nearby. The YesPano, AMTIFO and Lemolf run on battery power, while the Blink Mini 2K+ plugs into an outlet. Check the power source first: a battery camera suits a spot far from an outlet, and a plug-in camera suits a fixed spot with an outlet close by.
Pan, tilt and field of view
A pan and tilt camera moves its lens to cover a room, while a fixed camera covers only its stated field of view. The YesPano pans 355° and tilts 60°, so one camera can sweep a whole room. The AMTIFO covers 110 degrees, the Blink covers 138 degrees diagonal, and the Lemolf covers 160 degrees, so compare those figures with the area you want to watch.
Storage and monthly fees
Local storage records to a memory card, so footage stays on the card with no monthly fee. The YesPano and AMTIFO record to microSD cards, and the Lemolf supports up to 128GB, while the Blink stores clips in the cloud with a subscription plan. Cards are not included with the YesPano, AMTIFO or Lemolf, so check the card size each camera supports before buying one.
FAQ
Which battery powered indoor camera covers a whole room?
The YesPano pans 355° and tilts 60°, so one camera can sweep a room instead of watching a single fixed view.
Do these cameras need a monthly subscription?
The YesPano and AMTIFO record to a microSD card with no monthly fee, and the Lemolf supports local storage up to 128GB. The Blink stores clips in the cloud with a subscription plan, and smart detection needs an optional plan.
Can I place a battery camera anywhere indoors?
A battery camera needs no outlet, so the YesPano, AMTIFO and Lemolf can sit on a shelf, table or wall mount. The Blink Mini 2K+ plugs into an outlet, so it needs a spot near one. Check WiFi coverage too: the AMTIFO and Lemolf use 2.4GHz WiFi, while the YesPano works on 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
