This video provides a complete review of the Honeywell IPCAM WL indoor day/night home security camera. While sensors are effective at detecting intrusion, sometimes you’re not getting the complete picture. Adding a camera to your home security system provides a variety of benefits. Our video review of the Honeywell IPCAM WL has all the info you need to know to decide if this camera is a must-buy. Cameras enhance your home security system in a few different ways. For daily use, they let you keep an eye on your location even from afar. A real-time view of your home can provide great peace of mind. Additionally, cameras can help catch perpetrators. If a break-in is attempted, intruders can be potentially identified. Any manner of suspicious activity around your premises can be recorded. There are a few different ways you can view the footage. The camera can stream to the Honeywell Links panel or you can have total video integration. The IPCAM WL is an indoor camera. While outdoor cameras can capture footage around the exterior of your home, they’re often much more expensive than indoor cameras. The extra weatherproofing and durability drives up the price. An indoor camera is the more cost-friendly option. The specifics of your situation will vary, but generally we recommend aiming the cameras at entry points around your house. This will help you record any intruders. In some cases you indoor camera can even be pointed out a window towards a front porch or walkway. The IPCAM also has night vision. You’ll have a clear picture around the clock regardless of the light levels in the room. This makes the camera a good choice for seldom-used basements, garages and other dark areas. The camera toggles from day mode to night vision automatically. This is a small, sleek camera about the size of a coaster. Simple to setup, the camera includes a transformer, extender cable and desk mount. The desk mount allows for flexible operation so you can easily angle the lens wherever you like. Just make sure the Honeywell logo is on the bottom of the camera for proper up/down orientation. We recommend using a hardwired connection where you run an Ethernet cable to your land connection. This is usually the most secure, reliable type of connection. If a hardwired connection isn’t an option, the camera also supports wireless connectivity. On the back of the camera you’ll find the WPS button. This button connects the camera to the wireless network. If you ever have problems with the camera signal, the first tip to try is to press and hold the WPS for at least 12 seconds. That should reset the camera and re-enroll the signal into the wireless network. A security camera provides a whole new angle on home protection. Combined with entryway sensors and motion detectors, cameras play an important role in securing the safety of your home.
