All these cameras are easy to set up and use. Most take a two-step approach, initially using Bluetooth to pair your iPhone with the camera so that the app can then configure the camera and connect it to your Wi-Fi network.

Netatmo and Nokia get brownie points for also providing an Ethernet interface, while the HomeKit support in the D-Link Omna means you just scan a code on the camera and it’s set up and linked to the Home app on your iOS devices. (Shame Logitech and Nokia haven’t sorted out their promised HomeKit support yet.) Netgear’s Arlo Pro is expensive but it has a rechargeable battery and is weatherproof (IP65) for outdoor use. It also comes with a separate hub that has to be connected to your Wi-Fi router – although the hub can control up to 15 separate cameras, making it a good option for larger homes or offices.
