I’ve been on the hunt for years over the perfect camera for my family. We have Ring cameras outside, and a few in the house that do their job perfectly for what we want. It records to ring, we pay the subscription. I can view the cameras on the iOS Home app with me running a home bridge server. We have the Ring alarm system, so I can add automations in home bridge to turn on lights and such when a door is opened, or set everything to “home armed” when I say Goodnight.

My kids rooms are a complete weird thing to me. I started with Yi cameras, then moved to ring, then moved Waze, and now we’re on Eufy cams. The later provides HomeKit, but at the cost of eliminating sound detection. Which given they are in the kids room doesnt help us. We get motion detection, but our kids move around a lot during the night.

A little background, I was hell bent on Wyze until they started cheapening their application with Fitbits and other ventures that made no sense. In my opinion it all went down hill right when they moved out of security cameras.

Now I am fully integrated with our iOS/MacOS house but these Eufy cams take away from the sound detection. Any recommendations? Ring had their bright blue light, no matter what we did. Wyze left a lot on the table. And Eufy, I like them but linking them with HomeKit eliminates a lot of the features I wanted with “cry detection”, “sound detection”, two way voice, etc once its linked to HomeKit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
