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, but adjusting the

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

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

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
