![]() Whereas other cameras often come with 130- or 160-degree panning, the Kasa KC410S features a full 360-degree range. ![]() Like the GE Cync Indoor Camera, the Kasa KC410S came with a mounting bracket and hardware, but unlike the former, the Kasa does feature pan and tilt functionality, perhaps better than any other indoor camera. It did not disappoint with a sleek, snowball-like design, high-quality video resolution, Alexa and Google compatibility and ample local storage, up to 256GB on a not-included microSD card. We like a lot of TP-Link devices here at CNET, including its routers and smart plugs, so I was eager to try out the Kasa KC410S indoor security camera. You can adjust the alert sensitivity from low/medium/high to avoid getting notifications from things like pets and other random movements in your house. That said, when I placed the camera in the corner of my living room, the wide view did display much of the room and sent me alerts when someone or something (like a cat or my smart vacuum) passed through the field of view. As such, the indoor camera displays a fixed view that may be best suited to monitor doorways for when the kids get home or for unwanted guests like possible intruders. While the camera comes with many standard features - 1080p resolution, real-time notifications, two-way audio and Google Home/Alexa compatibility - it doesn't pan or tilt, though you can manually adjust the camera angle. The GE Cync Smart Indoor comes with a mounting bracket and installation hardware (three drywall anchors and screws) that enable you to set the device up pretty much anywhere, but I see the most value in positioning it to watch the main entryways to your home. Like other devices such as video doorbells and outdoor cameras, each indoor security camera sports varying features like panning and tilting, facial recognition, motion detection alerts, cloud storage and two-way audio. Some are more suited for checking up on your kids or pets, while others are designed to better monitor for home security threats.
