Removable battery

Motion detection
Motion detection registers movement either within the entire field of view, or a user-specified area.
Noise detection
Can trigger an alert on detection of noise.
Local storage
If the camera can store pictures and video footage locally (rather than in the cloud) and where this is located, whether in built-in internal memory or on memory card and whether in the camera or the hub (where applicable).
Availability
A Similar model is identical in most aspects except for a few. This means that a majority of its test results are identical so you can reasonably expect to get the same results from the model we tested, but for those aspects which aren't identical, we'll note these as "Not Tested" in the Compare tables.
A Tested model refers to a model that is still current and available in the Australian market. You should be able to order this model through your local retailer, or find it online.
These models can't be found in retailers or online or are no longer manufactured. You may still find these models on second hand websites, or in second hand dealers. Test methods may change over time, so criteria which can't be directly compared will contain an N/A.
An Identical model is exactly that. Performance characteristics will be identical and the only difference will be something trivial such as colour, which won't have an impact on performance.
These are models we haven't yet tested but that are available.
