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.

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

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

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

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

First and foremost, they don't record 24/7 otherwise they'll run out of battery real quick; they only do event detection recording on a specific range that you can customize. I have 3 tapo cameras C425, one for the front yard gate, one for the driveway and one at the backyard; for the price and what

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.

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

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
