2-For-Tuesday: Foscam Security Cameras (Refurbished)

Don’t let today’s selection of Foscam security cameras overwhelm you. Picking the right pair of cameras for your needs is as easy as 1-2-3 … -4.

All you have to do is answer this simple question: What are you anxious about? Some would say “paranoid,” but what is paranoia if not diligent anxiety? And what is home security if not the clear-headed response to diligent anxiety?

If you’re worried about: Foxes, fawns, or other woodland creatures frolicking or gamboling in your backyard when you’re not home…
Then we recommend: The 480p pan/title cameras. The resolution isn’t high enough to discern human faces at any distance, and they’re not outdoor cameras, but resting a pair of these cheaper cameras against the back window will let you keep tabs on your local fauna’s spritely frivolity while you’re away. You’ve had a hunch that creatures have been gamboling wantonly in your absence — know for sure with the Foscam 480p.

If you’re worried about: Leaving your youngest child at home while you take a Christmas vacation, leaving him or her in the hands of unscrupulous neighborhood burglars…
Then we recommend The 720p pan/tilt cameras. Sure, you could take steps to ensure you don’t force your child to create an elaborate series of booby traps in order to fend off a pair of hapless scofflaws, but who has the time? Instead, install a couple of these 720p cameras and rest easy knowing you didn’t completely forget one of your own offspring.

If you’re worried about: Being judged by your laid-back friends for having a complete home security system…
Then we recommend: The 720p dome cameras. They install directly into the ceiling for a less obtrusive look. Your “chill” friends might even mistake them for track lights. So you can furtively monitor every going-on without fear of being judged. Bonus: If you catch your friend picking her nose on camera, you can blackmail her to keep her from telling others about your home security secret.

If you’re worried about: Even visiting this page because the NSA will know that you’re onto them…
Then we recommend: The 720p outdoor camera. Those nosy federal agents are too smart to break into your home directly, that’s why they’ve been monitoring you from that abandoned tree house across the way. But you’ll show them who’s keeping tabs on whom when you nab them in the act with these all-weather bullet cams. You’ll show all of them! All of them!!

If you’re worried about: How to view all of your cameras simultaneously and record all of that footage on a separate hard drive…
Then we recommend: These 4-channel NVRs (think DVRs for cameras) for sale on our sister site, MorningSave.

See? What seemed like a major decision-making headache was really a simple process of elimination. Now if you’ll excuse us, we have some gamboling to surveil.
