Learn more about what “wireless” means in home security. Of course, you also have to pay for a monthly subscription plan (if you want to view clips more than 12 hours later). But Zmodo’s cloud service is affordable, so you can save money there too.

Your Funlux camera should come with the following:
Power cords Screws Adapters (for the NVR system)
Looks like you’ll need to bring your own brackets and power drill, though. An NVR wizard will guide you through setting up the four channels. Setting this up looks a bit difficult. It may take some time. All this means that you may not have remote access when you need your security camera the most. Based on the info Funlux/Zmodo provides, it sounds like you can’t access the NVR remotely. So it’s not good for mobile control, but the four channels could be worth it regardless. It depends on how often you or someone else is around the home. Zmodo is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, but it hasn’t specifically said that its Funlux line also has that capability. And, while the Funlux app description talks only about cameras, it looks like there’s a place to connect thermostats and lights. We’re cautiously optimistic that your Funlux cameras won’t be siloed, but we can’t make any guarantees. This dome-shaped camera has two-way audio and up to 32 feet of night vision. It also works with some third-party software.

This lil camera is compatible with Alexa, a major plus. It also has both local and cloud storage, digital zoom, and 98 feet of night vision. Unfortunately, you only get four hours of free storage, so you’ll probably want to go with the subscription.

But they aren’t objectively awful, either, so if you’re willing to brave the glitches and Wi-Fi connection issues, the Funlux could be enough for your needs. If Funlux isn’t cutting it for you, we also have a whole list of cheap cameras we recommend. We also recommend entire home security systems with cameras already included.
