First of all OP, you must understand that you are not getting anything reliable that's Wi-Fi. You will have issues from time to time, it doesn't matter if you have NASA internet or super Wi-Fi.

Reolink is the best Wi-Fi camera provider for residential use, IMO. You want plugged in because battery powered cam

Thanks a lot for the detailed response! I've decided to go with the Reolink E1 Pro. I can connect it via Ethernet. I could technically increase my budget for a more expensive model, but since I only need it for about 2 months a year, I'm not sure if it's worth spending more. Regarding the storage: I

I recommend the Reolink E1 Pro camera. It has awesome detection for pets and baby crying. You can setup as a WiFi camera or run an Ethernet cable. I have it connected to home assistant, and setup an automation to turn on a lamp if it detects baby crying. Use any tablet or phone if you want the scree
