Yale might be best known as a lock-making company, but what you may not know is that they also produce a wide range of home security smart devices including the All-in-One Indoor/Outdoor Camera. This camera is app enabled and compatible with Amazon Alexa, all you have to ask is, “Show me the front door” to access a live feed from your camera on Alexa screen-enabled devices (compatible with Echo Show, Echo Spot, all generations of Fire TV, 2nd generation Fire TV Stick and fire Tab). There are no monthly fees to pay, the access to the live feed, intercom, siren and light features come as standard and are ready to use straight out of the box, it has a modern design which doesn’t look intrusive but is obvious enough to intimidate wrongdoers into avoiding your property (optional 160 lumen LED light to make it visible at night). With the Motion Detection mode you can detect, view, light up, talk and listen to visitors, providing both a security camera and intercom system all in one product, the built-in spotlight can be activated by motion detection only or can be turned on and off via the app, brightness settings can be adjusted to suit your needs.

The Two-way Talk feature means you can communicate with whoever is on your property, whether that’s to tell your partners their dinner’s ready, advise the postman where to leave your package or ward off a potential burglar by letting them know you can see them. The 110dB Siren Alarm also helps to scare off suspicious characters and can be activated within the Yale View app rather than talking to them directly. You can ensure you are only alerted when a visitor enters a specific area in front of your camera by creating zones with the Image Masking mode, which means you can avoid it triggering every time someone walks past your house. This camera can be used indoors or outside and has an IP65 rating, it can be left free standing or wall mounted with the integrated wall bracket, it has a 10m night-vision range and records in HD 1080P which provides clear images both day and night. You will need to supply your own SD card (up to 128GB) if you want to record events or link the camera to a Yale Smart CCTV DVR for constant back-up recordings. This compact camera is straightforward to use, with tasteful design and useful features to help you keep an eye on your property from anywhere and at any time. RRP £119.99
