Most WiFi security cameras only do one-way alerts, so I looked at the Qsee Ares SE, which adds real 2-way video calling between devices, to see if the extra feature is worth it.
The Ares SE captures 5MP HD video with pan-tilt movement and 5G WiFi connectivity, and its standout feature is 2-way video talk with device-to-device calling — genuinely useful for checking in on a room or a pet rather than just reviewing motion clips after the fact.
Qsee backs the Ares SE with a 2-year warranty and a 30-day return window, and ships within 1-2 business days — a longer warranty than a lot of budget WiFi camera brands offer.
Regular price is $179.99, and it's currently listed at $159.99 (save $20). For a camera with genuine 2-way device calling rather than just app notifications, that's a reasonable price from a security brand with over 20 years in the US market.
Save on your order: the Ares SE is $20 off, 4K NVR systems are $200 off, and all Qsee orders ship free in the US. Shop the Qsee Ares SE here.
