You can buy Tapo rechargeable cameras for about €50. You can put an SD card in them but ideally you can buy a separate hub and install indoors with the SD card in the hub instead. Will need recharging with USB cable every 4 or 5 months only. You will need WiFi and you install the app on your phone.

Do not buy Arlo

I had Arlo as well. They worked OK. I would recharge the batteries every few weeks. Things were fine for a while and then the company upped the cost for cloud storage. Decided to go with new cameras that do not require a subscription. Purchased TP-Link Tapo. Ended up getting their 2K C425 cameras al

C460 vs C465

I upgraded from the C425 to the C465 and although I love new 4K functionality Tapo keeps reducing the FOV for these cameras. I didnt think going from 150 degrees to 134 wouldnt be that big of a deal.......it was. Buyer beware.

Security camera advice

This could be what you are looking for. Tapo. I don't know what CVM is but these have audio too. https://www.tapo.com/au/product/smart-camera/tapo-c425/ You need to also buy the recommend SD card to put in them to store recording so no cloud, no subscription required. I have some old Arlo cameras as

Can you change batteries on outdoor cameras

Don't buy Tapo cameras with battery. I bought C425, biggest mistake of my life. Tapo battery cameras don't have any way to control bitrate, nor to increase nor to decrease. That being said, although resolution is 2K image is garbage because no matter what you do(and you can't do anything) video is a

Fixed Tapo camera network issues with Asus router (Asus RT-AX86S + Tapo C101)

Ando entrando al mundo de Tapo y una C425 me estaba dando mucha lata. Tuve que hacer algo similar con el router Asus que tengo. Deshabilitar "Smart connect", 802.11ax, la banda de 6Ghz, porque si no, me marcaba que el dispositivo solo se podía controlar de manera local. Esto para los que vayan a com

Solar powered outdoor camera question

Have the Tapo c425 with solar a whole year. It’s great in PNW heavy rain it’s fine has all this moss growing on the panel and still 100% charge. In winter lower to power saving and you’re good. 80% our winter is overcast or light rain so little sunlight. We’re actually half vampire here

Is this a good deal for TC85

I might be a bit biased as I work for the company, but I think it's a great deal. You are getting 4 cameras and solar panels for the deal. For reference, a single pack of the Tapo C425 Kit, is selling for $89.99, https://www.amazon.com/Tapo-MagCam-Outdoor-Wireless-Security/dp/B0FFLF89TY/ref=sr_1_1?dib

Help Choosing a Camera

Tapo C460 (4K) would be sharp enough to see detail, it’s actually one of the cheapest but best quality wireless security cameras as of right now, other than PoE. Though I’m not sure about recommending this due to your lack of WiFi coverage, 4K quality may not load very well. I will say with the sola
