Best Security Cameras & Doorbells in Australia
Outdoor, indoor, and doorbell cameras ranked — April 2026
Our Rankings
Home security cameras have come a long way — 4K resolution, AI person detection, colour night vision, and solar power are now standard on mid-range models. We've tested every major option available on Amazon Australia to find the best cameras and video doorbells for Aussie homes.
We prioritise cameras that work well in Australian conditions — scorching summers, strong UV, and the occasional coastal storm. We also factor in ongoing subscription costs, because a cheap camera with expensive cloud storage isn't really cheap.
Solar-powered, dual cameras for wide and zoomed views, 360° pan, and zero subscription fees. The SoloCam S340 is the best outdoor camera for Australian homes — set it and forget it.
If you want the sharpest footage possible, the Argus 4 Pro's true 4K with colour night vision captures incredible detail. Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 ensures reliable streaming. No subscription required.
The Arlo Pro 5 offers the most polished app experience and integrates with everything — HomeKit, Alexa, Google, SmartThings. 2K is plenty sharp. Subscription recommended for full features.
#1 Best Seller with 43,000+ reviews for good reason. Dead-simple 5-minute install, no wiring, and the deepest Alexa integration of any doorbell. Ring Protect subscription adds real value.
If your home runs on Google Assistant, the Nest Cam Battery is the natural choice. 3 hours of free event recording, intelligent alerts, and seamless Google Home integration.
At just $34, the Tapo TC70 is the cheapest way to add a proper security camera to your home. Full 360° pan/tilt, no subscription needed for local storage, and surprisingly reliable. Can't beat it for the price.
Buying Tips for Australians
Subscription vs no subscription
Eufy and Reolink offer free local storage. Ring and Arlo work best with subscriptions ($5-18/month). Factor in 2-3 years of subscription costs when comparing prices.
Indoor vs outdoor
Outdoor cameras need IP65+ weather rating for Australian conditions. Indoor cameras like the Tapo TC70 are much cheaper but not weatherproof.
Power source
Solar-powered cameras (Eufy SoloCam) are ideal for Australian rooftops and fences. Battery cameras need recharging every 3-6 months. Wired cameras offer 24/7 recording but need power access.
