Smart home expert Chris Price shares his experience of owning and testing scores of cameras.

Prices of security devices are quite reasonable, especially if you shop around online.

You can now get a basic indoor security camera for well under 50 ( Amazon -owned Blink now sells two of its Mini indoor cameras for 25 ) Outdoor cameras and video doorbells start at around 100 .

Most video doorbells and many security cameras allow you to add family members to your device.

This means they can view the footage on their smartphones and interact with delivery people.

Make sure that it’s properly installed inside the mounting bracket, complete with anti-tamper screw/pin attached.
