The Lynx Indoor 1080P Wifi Home Security Camera is a terrific home security camera for a few different reasons. The video quality is great, the software is easy to use, and the free 7-day cloud storage is a great bonus. But the crown jewel is a very cool facial recognition feature that’s similar to what you’d find on the Nest Cam IQ, Nest’s $300 home security camera. The Lynx camera recognizes faces so it knows if someone in your family is walking around or if it’s an unfamiliar face. This way it can notify you if there’s a potential intruder but not if it’s a family member.

Here’s some important 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
