They all send alarms and videos to mobile phones. Stiftung Warentest tested 18 IP cameras from 9 suppliers. The purchase prices range from 45 to almost 300 euros...
The Essential Indoor pleases with good images during the day. At night, it shows movements somewhat haltingly. It is easy to use, but only saves its videos in the cloud. This is only available with a subscription. If you pay a little more, however, you also get many additional functions such as package recognition. In the basic version, it also does a good job.
The Arlo camera is a good, simple indoor solution for static surveillance tasks in relevant rooms.
