A Wi-Fi-enabled security camera is an excellent way to keep an eye on your home while you're away, check in on the pets while you're at work, and in the case of those with built-in microphones, quickly tell your kid that they're supposed to be studying instead of playing video games. Even better, if you have an Amazon Echo device and use Alexa to do all the smart things in your home, an Alexa-enabled security camera can do wonderful things for you.
Guaranteed Alexa
Amazon Cloud Cam
What better company to buy an Alexa-enabled camera from than Amazon itself? The Cloud cam offers 1080p footage in real time, and you can share the last 24 hours of motion alert video for free. You'll get notifications whenever there's motion detected, and you can check in in the app or on the web. You can ask Alexa to show you your live feed on your Fire TV, Tablet, Echo Show, or Echo Spot.
