Samsung's $229 SmartCam PT does a pretty good job tracking motion activity around a room. It offers local and cloud storage
Motion detection zones and a privacy mode

You'll be using the same clunky old SmartCam Android or iPhone app as before. The SmartCam PT doesn't work with any smart home platforms
Even Samsung's SmartThings. Trigger-happy motion and audio sensors set off tons of unneeded alerts

I liked some of the advanced features of this camera, especially the pan, tilt, night vision and privacy mode options. But the app and user interface is too jumbled for my liking – I get that you want to show off how many features you have, but a better...
Easy to use, No monthly fees, Camera can automatically track a subject when it comes into view, microSD card saves motion clips and can be set to record continuous video
Alerts don't show a thumbnail of the activity, Can't export video clips from mobile app, Requires a browser plugin to use web viewer, Only 96.1° viewing angle
I really like Samsung's SmartCams. The fact that you don't have to pay a monthly fee and you can still view through the web as well as an app is great. But the coolest feature of the SmartCam PT has to be the automatic subject tracking. I love that featur...
Great packaging, Very easy to setup, 1080p high definition video quality, Flawless auto tracking feature, Handy privacy mode
Night vision range could be better, Technical support details are hard to find
I really enjoyed putting the Samsung SmartCam PT Security Camera though its paces. I had no issues with the camera dropping connectivity (as with some recent cameras I've reviewed). I was able to use the 1080p settings wirelessly with no network issues...
Motorized pan and tilt, Auto tracking of people and objects, Privacy mode

Pan-and-tilt design allows the camera to follow subjects anywhere in its field of view, Accurate motion and audio detection, Useful in-app features, including audio sound effects to scare intruders and a scheduler, Customizable video quality up to 1080p,
You can only access the Web client via Firefox or Internet Explorer, Videos recorded for your smartphone are limited to 30 seconds, Cannot change any settings while in privacy mode
