de Lynx $200 aamna is a fairly standard indoor security camera with a few key exceptions that will either make or break your buying decision first it has 1080p HD live streaming night vision a motion sensor a two-way audio intercom feature and activity zones that let you exclude areas you don't want covered but the aamna also has a wide angle 180 degree field of view local storage via a microSD card slot and integration with Apple's smart home platform home kit you can see significantly more with a hundred and eighty degree lens than say with the nest cams 130 degree lens so you will see more fish eyes style Distortion the aamna doesn't come with a micro SD card but you can purchase your own up to 128 gigabytes and use a micro SD card reader to view and download as many motion Clips as you want this is also the very first security camera to work with apple homekit that's a pretty big deal given that cameras have been excluded from this platform for a long time the coolest thing about this integration is that I can ask Siri what's the status of my security camera and the live feed will immediately appear you can also ask Siri for the status of the omnes motion detector but the automations in the home app are limited to the motion detector acting as a trigger for other actions to take place such as turning on lights or opening the window shades you can't create a scene that includes the camera or otherwise scheduled it to turn on or off based on your home or away status the Amna is a fine camera but it really only makes sense if you're fully invested in home kit and don't mind waiting for more product integrations to become available
