The best surveillance cameras for home & garden 2025

Die besten Überwachungskameras für Haus & Garten 2025

Those looking to protect their homes are increasingly turning to modern surveillance cameras. However, the selection of models is vast. That's why, in this article, we'll show you the best surveillance cameras for home and garden in 2025 – including comparisons, recommendations, and tips for making the right choice.

1. What should you look for in a home surveillance camera?

Before you decide on a model, you should consider the following criteria:

Anyone who wants to equip their home with a surveillance camera should not only focus on good image quality. Often, much more important is how reliably the camera functions in everyday use – and how it blends in with the surroundings of the house or garden. A good outdoor camera should be weatherproof, offer strong night vision, and be able to intelligently detect motion. This is the only way to avoid every cat or the rustling of a tree triggering an unnecessary notification. A camera with intelligent person detection, which can specifically distinguish between people, animals, and other types of movement, is recommended.

Data storage also plays an important role. Many models now offer cloud storage, where the recorded videos are stored on external servers. This sounds convenient at first, but it also comes with some disadvantages. Firstly, as a user, you often don't know exactly on which servers your recordings are stored and who could theoretically have access to them. Secondly, cloud solutions usually involve monthly fees or subscriptions that add up over time. Those who value complete data control should therefore choose a camera model that additionally or exclusively supports local storage options such as an SD card or a network attached storage (NAS).

In summary: A good security camera should do more than just film. It must fit your home, work reliably—and you should be able to decide where your data is stored.
