If you haven’t heard about the Lynx Indoor 1080P Wifi Home Security Camera yet, it’s high time you checked it out. This nifty home security camera has all the standard features you would expect from a security cam, but it also has a special feature that’s typically reserved for high-price cameras like the Nest Cam IQ. While the IQ will give you cool facial recognition features for $300, the Lynx cam offers similar features and it’s on sale right now on Amazon for just $48. It uses facial recognition to differentiate between people you know and people you don’t, and it can trigger alerts or alarms accordingly.

Here’s some more info from the product page:

  • Intelligent facial recognition software to choose who your camera recognizes
  • Crystal clear 1080P HD live video streaming with night vision to monitor in complete darkness
  • Free & secure lifetime 7-day cloud storage
  • Two-way audio, motion detection and instant alerts
  • Built-in support for 802.11b/g/n 2.4Ghz Wifi band (5Ghz currently not supported, please confirm that your router supports 2.4Ghz Wifi Band). Access your camera with the Tend Secure App on your mobile device anytime, anywhere
