All of the home security cameras at CES 2020
There are security cameras galore at this year's big tech conference.
The Abode Outdoor/Indoor Smart Camera (pictured on the white stand) is just one of the home security cameras announced at CES 2020.
Home security cameras are a popular tech category at CES 2020, ranging from D-Link's latest panning indoor cam to a versatile weatherproof model from Abode -- and a couple of cameras with facial recognition technology from startup Hoop. We still have days left to search the show floor for the latest security cameras, but here's what we've found so far.
Check back regularly for updates, as I'll be adding to the list as I find new products.
Abode Outdoor/Indoor Smart Camera
The Abode Outdoor/Indoor Smart Camera is a small weatherproof camera with 1080p HD livestreaming, a 152-degree field of view, motion detection and two-way audio. Abode says this camera has facial recognition capabilities and will alert you when a recognized face comes within range of the camera versus an unrecognized face, based on a database of faces you create in the Abode app.
The Outdoor/Indoor Smart Camera comes with a doorbell mount so you can hard-wire it to an existing wired doorbell. It can also be plugged into a standard outlet via an included power adapter. This model doesn't have a doorbell button, but Abode plans to release one with a traditional buzzer.
It costs $199 and should be released early this year. It works with Alexa and Apple HomeKit support is upcoming. Optional cloud services are available with the Abode Outdoor/Indoor camera and it can be used as a standalone home security camera or jointly with the Abode security system.
The Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera.

The Pro 3 Floodlight Camera has 2K HD livestreaming and recorded clips, night vision, a 160-degree field of view, two-way audio and a built-in siren and LEDs . This new product also has a rechargeable battery -- Arlo claimed in a news release that it's the "first wire-free variant on the market."
Arlo's Pro 3 Floodlight Camera is supposed to hit stores this spring at $250 each.

Blue by ADT Indoor Camera
Like the Blue by ADT Doorbell Camera, the Blue by ADT Indoor Camera costs $199 and has 1080p livestreaming, viewable on the Blue by ADT app. This Alexa-enabled camera also has two-way audio and is supposed to be able to listen for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to alert you to a potential issue.
The Indoor Camera has a built-in microSD card slot (the microSD card isn't included, but it supports up to 128GB); it also has short-term battery backup if there's a power outage. This Blue by ADT camera can work alone or with other Blue by ADT devices.
