Cammy is an app-based home security system that uses cameras as sensors, and a unique alarm feature that is only triggered when a person is detected. All footage is stored in the cloud for 30 days, and the whole system is fully accessible via the app. It also features remote live view with two-way audio.

Overall Rating: 3.4 / 5 (Very good)

Cammy provides both a self-monitoring app for existing security cameras, as well as three different models of cameras that they sell from their website. The system doesn't have any home automation features, and doesn't offer the option of professional monitoring.
