Ranking and prices
How we rank
This page explains the main ranking parameters and their weights (German UWG § 5b(2)). It is a draft: the wording gets a legal review before any launch.
1Order
| Parameter | Weight |
|---|---|
| Fact filters you choose (no subscription, local storage, RTSP, Home Assistant) | in or out |
| Three-year cost, lowest first | 100 % |
| Models without a known or current price | last |
| Model name | tie-break |
| Commission, affiliate programme, paid placement | 0 % |
2Three-year cost
The device price in the chosen market, plus three times the brand's cheapest yearly plan that unlocks recordings, if the model shows no recordings without one. Optional cloud plans are not added; they are shown separately. If a price is missing or out of date there is no total: we do not estimate.
3Prices
- Every price shows when it was recorded and includes VAT. Delivery costs are shown once a merchant feed provides them.
- Prices older than 24 hours are hidden automatically.
- We keep no Amazon price history and offer no price alerts.
- We do not publish Keepa data.
- A discount is only ever stated against our own lowest price of the previous 30 days (German PAngV § 11), and only for merchants whose terms allow storing prices.
- The sample prices in this prototype come from research on 1 Nov 2026 and are not current.
4What the marks mean
- Verified
- An official source states it for this exact model.
- Maker, brand-wide
- The maker states it for the brand or product line, not for this model by name.
- Press
- From a press report, not confirmed by the maker.
- User report
- From user reports (forum, issue tracker), not confirmed by the maker.
- Unverified
- Nobody has checked this yet. The value is not a claim.
5Ads and commission
Merchant links are labelled as ads. If someone buys through a link, we may earn a commission. It enters no ranking and no verdict, and makers cannot buy a placement.
