Smart home devices are slowly working their way into our still fairly dumb homes, and one of the first things most people upgrade to is a connected security camera. Team Bezos and the crew at Amazon know this of course, and have debuted the Amazon Cloud Camera for $120 bucks, which is quite a bit less than most of their numerous competitors. Bold move, but does the thing work? Our analysis: it does, and pretty well at that.
The Amazon Cloud Cam is simple to install, simple to set up, and simple to use. We like that. It also delivers sharp HD video footage and allows for two-way conversation just like a lot of other cameras out there these days. But one important feature is that it’s part of the Amazon Key delivery system, which allows Amazon delivery peoples to leave your stuff inside your house instead of on the porch, where it just might get legs and become someone else’s stuff.
Yeah, still sorta creepy, but with the cloud cam, you can at least you can see that important package of medicine or last-second anniversary gift actually get delivered, so, honestly, that’s pretty damn handy. You’ll need to sign up for a monthly service to download video clips of course, and we have a couple other technical complaints, so check out our complete review:
