Compare security cameras

If there's Wi-Fi where the camera will go, choose a Wi-Fi camera. If there isn't, choose a 4G camera with your own SIM card. With no socket nearby, a battery camera does the job, with a solar panel if you want one. There's no mandatory subscription with Hozard: cloud storage is optional and you can also record locally.

What suits your situation?

There's no power or Wi-Fi where the camera will go

These cameras work on 4G with a battery and a solar panel. You need your own SIM card and enough 4G coverage there.

There's Wi-Fi, but no socket where the camera will go

These cameras run on a battery and connect to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.

You want several cameras with storage in your own home

These sets store footage on a base station or recorder in your home.

  • 4x 4K cameras + HomeBase: Four 4K cameras with solar panels. Footage goes to the 64 GB HomeBase, which sits indoors by your router on mains power.
  • 2x 4K cameras + HomeBase: Two 4K cameras with solar panels and the same HomeBase. You can link up to 4 cameras to one HomeBase.
  • 4x 2K camera set with recorder: Four cameras for outdoor and indoor use, with a recorder for a hard drive up to 6 TB. The hard drive isn't included, but you can order one separately. Each camera needs a power supply.
  • 8x 2K camera set with recorder: Eight cameras for indoor use, with a recorder for a hard drive up to 6 TB. The hard drive isn't included, but you can order one separately. Each camera needs a power supply.

You want to turn the camera remotely

You control these cameras through the app, so one camera shows you more of your property.

You want to keep an eye on things indoors, your pet for example

This camera stands on a cupboard or table and works on Wi-Fi.

You want to watch indoors where there's no Wi-Fi

Then a small 4G camera with your own SIM card does the job.

  • 4G Mini camera: 2K, 3200 mAh battery that you charge over USB-C. App: UBoxPro. On battery it records continuously for about 10 hours.

You want to see footage on a TV or monitor

The recorder in these sets has an HDMI and a VGA output.

You don't want to pay monthly fees to Hozard

Cloud storage isn't mandatory on any camera. Without it you can watch live and record to a card, a HomeBase or a hard drive. With a 4G camera you do pay for your own SIM card.

You already have an S Pro or X Pro alarm system

This camera only works as an extension of your S Pro or X Pro alarm system, not as a standalone camera.

  • 2K battery camera with siren: 5200 mAh battery and 85 dB siren. You can connect a solar panel (5V, at least 5W). App: Helio Pro, the app for the S Pro and X Pro alarm systems.
  • Before you mount a 4G camera, check that there's enough 4G coverage in that spot.
  • The recorder sets aren't fully wireless. The cameras connect wirelessly to the recorder, and each camera needs its own power connection.
  • For the 2K PTZ Wi-Fi camera, cloud storage is available for a fee.
  • For all the 4G cameras, cloud storage costs €5 to €9 per month after the one-month trial.
