The doorbell camera 106 may further include a microphone and a speaker. In some implementations, the front cover plate 708 includes a microphone aperture 716 to allow sound signals to reach the microphone concealed within the doorbell camera 106. In some implementations, the device housing 702 includes a plurality of speaker openings 718 at its bottom rim surface. When the doorbell camera 106 is mounted onto a wall or doorframe surface, the speaker holes 718 are not visible from a gaze of a visitor approaching or standing near the surface, while still being able to broadcast audio messages to the visitor. In embodiments where the doorbell camera 106 includes both the microphone and the speaker, a remote user may review live video streams captured by the camera module of the doorbell camera 106, and have a conversation in real time with the visitor. In some implementations, both the microphone and the speaker of the doorbell camera 106 adopt waterproof features to deter water permeation into the electronic components within the device housing 702 and cause irreversible damages to the electronic components.

A built in spotlight also enables color recording at night, and it has dual microphones for better audio. Plus, the Arlo Ultra’s base station will be compatible with the company’s smart home security kit, due out later this year. All of this will cost you, though: A single camera with the hub is $399, and extra cameras are $299 each. And if you want to save 4K videos, it’s an extra $1. 99 per camera per month, on top of the $9. 99 monthly plan, the latter of which is waived for the first year. The Nest Cam Indoor is the third generation of the celebrated Dropcam, and bumps up its predecessors' video quality to 1080p. It's easy to set up and, thanks to its magnetic, swiveling base,it can be installed almost anywhere indoors. The video looks sharp; night vision is clear; the camera can be used as an intercom; and it interacts with the Nest Thermostat and the Nest Protect smoke detector, as well as numerous third party smart home devices.
