What you get without paying
- Ring: live view and motion alerts, but no saved video history.
- Arlo: Arlo says its products work without a plan "with certain features". 30-day video history needs a plan.
- eufy: eufy's cloud plans are optional backup. Its cameras are built around local storage, which has no monthly fee.
- Cameras sold at MkaeSense: every camera we carry records to a microSD card. There's no cloud plan to buy.
Which is cheapest?
For a single camera with cloud video, eufy Basic is the cheapest at $4.99 a month. For a home with several cameras, Ring Multi is the cheapest whole-home cloud plan at $14.99 a month. Arlo costs the most at every level. If you'd rather not pay a monthly fee at all, a camera that records to local storage avoids it, as long as you're comfortable keeping the footage on the device instead of in the cloud.
