Amazon Cloud Cam now streams security footage to your browser
Amazon's Cloud Cam just became decidedly more useful, especially for those moments when you can't pull out your phone.

Web interfaces certainly aren't new to home security cameras, so this was arguably an overdue addition.
Amazon Cloud Cam review: A Nest Cam rival with Alexa smarts
The home-security-camera market is a saturated one, with contenders from the likes of Logitech, Netgear and, perhaps trendiest of all, Nest. Now there's another, rather surprising, company joining that fray: Amazon. Like the others, Amazon's "Cloud Cam" keeps tabs on your home while you're away, but it also works with Alexa. It's a decent camera overall, and at $120 (cheaper per unit if you buy multipacks) it's affordable. But Cloud Cam's integration into Amazon's ecosystem is likely its main selling point.
Amazon's home security Cloud Cam supports Alexa
Along with its "Key" indoor delivery service for Prime members, Amazon has unveiled a new AWS cloud-powered surveillance camera. The infrared-capable Cloud Cam lets you confirm deliveries via the Key service and get custom notifications depending on the activities or people it spots. You can also control up to ten Cloud Cams and see specific views with your Echo device by saying "Alexa, show me the [camera name]."
