Why it matters
The EC70 streams 1080p and pans and tilts to cover a room, with a patrol mode that sweeps automatically. It alerts you to motion or sound, day or night, with night vision to 30 ft.
It records continuously to a microSD card up to 256 GB, so no subscription is needed, and it can trigger smart lights when it detects motion.
