An indoor security camera can help protect a home, keep an eye on pets, and check on family members. A decent model doesn’t have to cost more than AED 300. Several models offer clear video, night vision, motion alerts, and two-way audio at a low price. The EZVIZ C6N, Xiaomi Mi Home Security Camera 360 Degree 1080P, YI 1080P Home Camera, Xiaomi Smart Camera C300 Dual and TP-Link Tapo TC70 each bring something different to home use.
Price: AED 129
At AED 129, the EZVIZ C6N mixes video quality, smart tracking, and privacy features well. The 1080p video is clear, and the lens rotates 340 degrees horizontally, which gives a full panoramic view and lets one camera cover most of a room from a single spot.
Motion detection and smart tracking let it follow a moving person or object, and real-time alerts go out when it spots movement. Night vision reaches up to 10 meters, and Smart IR adjusts the infrared light so bright areas don’t wash out in dark scenes.
Two-way audio means a user can talk to someone near the camera through the app. It works with Amazon Alexa, Google, and IFTTT. Storage options are a microSD card up to 256GB (sold separately) or EZVIZ Cloud, and a privacy mode covers the lens through the EZVIZ app. It suits homes that need wide coverage and flexible storage without paying much.
Price: AED 135
Xiaomi’s camera uses a dual-motor design for broad coverage. It supports 360-degree horizontal movement, a 115-degree vertical view, and a 100.4-degree wide-angle view, so different parts of a room can be covered without extra cameras.
Two-way voice calls through the smartphone let users speak via the camera, while one-way video calls run at 720p. Infrared night vision and motion detection keep watch after dark. When motion is detected during selected time slots, a 10-second video clip is sent to the phone.
Footage can be saved to a microSD card or a compatible router with storage, and the card isn’t included. Xiaomi also supplies hardware for upside-down ceiling mounting, which makes for a more discreet setup. Silent rotation keeps noise down at night, and viewing works on a smartphone, tablet, or TV remote. At AED 135, it fits homes that want broad coverage and flexible viewing.
Price: AED 161
YI 1080P Home Camera is built for indoor surveillance in homes, offices, nurseries and pet areas. It supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, with no 5GHz band. The YI Home app gives access from a compatible mobile device.
Night vision handles low-light activity. Local storage takes microSD cards up to 64GB, sold separately, and YI Cloud offers cloud storage for saved footage.
Alexa and Google Assistant are supported. An optional cloud subscription adds smart detection that can tell people, vehicles, and animals apart, which helps cut false alerts, though it does cost extra. YI also offers an optional 24/7 professional monitoring service that can verify possible intrusions and send video alerts through the app. At AED 161, it suits homes that want local storage with the option to add more advanced detection later.
Price: AED 289
Xiaomi Smart Camera C300 Dual sits close to the budget ceiling at AED 289. Its dual-lens design and local AI protection set it apart from the others here. It records 1080p video, enough for useful detail in everyday home security.
Night vision supports monitoring after dark, and intelligent motion detection sends real-time alerts. Two-way audio allows communication through the device, which helps when a family member or pet needs attention.
The compact body fits into different rooms without taking up much space. It’s a fit for homes that like Xiaomi’s smart camera range and want dual-lens hardware with local AI protection. The listed specifications don’t state the storage capacity or rotation range, though, so those details should be checked before buying.
Price: AED 75
TP-Link Tapo TC70 is a low-cost way to add indoor security. At AED 75, it’s cheaper than every other camera here. The 1080p video, 360-degree rotational view, and night vision cover the basics of home surveillance.
Night vision uses 850nm infrared light and reaches up to 30 feet. Motion detection sends phone alerts, and activity zones let users pick which parts of the view matter most. Two-way audio works through the built-in microphone and speaker.
It connects to a Wi-Fi router with no separate hub. Local storage uses a microSD card up to 128GB, sold separately. Tapo Care offers cloud storage and extra features with a 30-day free trial, after which a paid subscription is needed for those features. The camera connects over Wi-Fi but still needs wired power, and an adapter comes in the box. For basic indoor monitoring at a very low price, it’s a strong choice.

Each camera fits a different need. EZVIZ C6N brings smart tracking and support for a 256GB memory card. Xiaomi’s 360 Degree 1080P model adds silent rotation and ceiling mounting. YI 1080P Home Camera offers optional AI detection and professional monitoring. Xiaomi C300 Dual has dual-lens hardware and local AI protection, while TP-Link Tapo TC70 covers the basics for just AED 75.
For the best balance of price and features, EZVIZ C6N at AED 129 is a strong option. On a tighter budget, the Tapo TC70 delivers the core features for much less. Homes that want optional AI alerts can look at the YI, and buyers who prefer dual-lens hardware can consider the Xiaomi C300 Dual. Before buying, check memory card costs, cloud subscription fees, Wi-Fi requirements, and the exact features in the local version.
