The smart home security cameras of CES 2019
There's a smattering of new security devices at this year's tech convention -- let's take a look.

Alarm.com Wellcam
Alarm.com's Wellcam home security camera is designed to help caregivers, family and friends watch over aging loved ones remotely.
The Wellcam has a 180-degree lens, two-way audio and 1080p HD resolution. Press the "call-out button" on the Wellcam to ask for help without a phone.
Altro Smart Lock
The Altro Smart Lock is part lock, part smart security camera. It has two-way audio, costs $350 and starts shipping in January.
Arlo Ultra 4K Outdoor Camera
Arlo introduced its Ultra cam back in November, but the company announced at CES 2019 that the Ultra is now available for purchase.
Brinno Duo Smart Peephole DoorCam
Brinno Duo Smart Peephole DoorCam replaces your peephole to monitor your front door.
Deep Sentinel Smart Home Surveillance System
Deep Sentinel's Smart Home Surveillance System is a professional security service.
It includes a monthly fee and access to "remote surveillance guards" who are supposed to monitor your house and even speak to a potential intruder via the camera's two-way intercom.
Elecpro US:E Smart Lock
Elecpro's US:E Smart Lock isn't like your standard deadbolt. the US:E has a built-in camera with facial recognition.
The idea is that you'd create a database of familiar faces -- friends, family, caregivers -- and the lock could scan their face and then unlock the door.
Ezviz DB1 Video Doorbell
Unlike many smart buzzers, the Ezviz DB1 Video Doorbell has a built-in microSD card slot. It also offers optional cloud video storage.
First Alert Onelink Bell
The Onelink Bell is designed to work with other First Alert products. It has:
- 1080p HD resolution
- 180-degree lens
- Night vision
- Two-way audio
LifeShield Doorbell Camera
LifeShield's Doorbell Camera has 1080p HD resolution, night vision, two-way audio, motion detection and cloud storage. It can be hardwired or run via battery.
It should be available starting in the second quarter of this year.
Maximus Answer
The Maximus Answer is a bit different than the other smart doorbells we've come across. It actually has two built-in cameras -- rather than just one.
Use the front-facing camera to see who's at the door and the bottom-mounted camera to keep an eye on packages.
Netatmo Smart Video Doorbell
Netatmo's Smart Video Doorbell is supposed to work with Apple HomeKit. That should mean you can manage your doorbell settings in Apple's Home app for iOS devices, as well as use Siri commands.
Ooma Smart Cam
The Ooma Smart Cam can go inside or outside. It's battery powered and has facial recognition capabilities.
Remo+ DoorCam 2
The DoorCam 2 by Remo+ is the company's next-gen over-the-door security camera. It relies on batteries and is supposed to fit over your door for a installation that doesn't require electrical wiring.
Remo+ RemoBell W
Remo+ had the RemoBell W on display at CES 2019 as well. This hardwired buzzer has live streaming, motion detection and other standard smart doorbell features.
Remo+ RemoBell S
Remo+ also had the RemoBell S on display at CES 2019. This is a hardwired buzzer that replaces an existing wired doorbell.
Ring Door View Cam
