Hello guys,
I have a Blink system at home, but I found out it needs a subscription to record video, so now I can only watch live footage.
I am looking for a system that records motion and stores the footage for up to 30 days. I have 3 cameras at home and don’t want any subscription-based systems. I need something affordable.
I also have a cottage with internet and want to put one camera at the front door. It would be great if I could manage everything with one system.
With the Arlo hub, the Arlo Pro 5S security camera offers even more features than you could ask for. I’ve tested countless brands of cameras for hours, and I suggest this one.
I agree with you Eagle the Arlo Pro 5S is the best, i also use it.
Hi there, Choosing the best wireless security camera depends on your specific needs, such as where you plan to install it, what features you prioritize, and your budget.
Thanks for the advice! I’ll definitely consider my specific needs, installation location, and feature priorities when choosing a wireless security camera. Budget is also an important factor. Your points will help me narrow down the options effectively. I appreciate the guidance!
Eufy makes a great camera for what you’re looking for. Lorex also makes a good wireless camera and their solar panels seem to be large and efficient.
My Eufy outdoor cameras have been a constant headache. I wouldn’t recommend the Solocam E40.
Blink solar works great for me.
About the only wireless cameras I will deal with are the Arlo units. But you are compromising by going wireless for sure.
Don’t get amcrest cameras, the software absolutely sucks.
Check out Wyze. The V3 is pretty great for the money and you don’t need to have a subscription to use it. Has local storage. The only thing is it needs USB power. If there is a light fixture nearby you can tap into it with one of their adapters. I can’t recommend their outdoor cam as it’s been a pita and the wyze subreddit pretty much agrees.
I have 8 wyZe cameras and like them, the outdoor/battery cameras are t loved as much but there is a solar panel for them too
stay away from wyze, they need subscription for most features and disconnect every time you leave your house and only work again after being reset, they wont send notifications of motion and they only give you recording with sd card of non a.i. detected actions. basically they suck. i just returned 5 wyze cam pan v3’s and i am not mad that i returned them.
Been alot of problems for me too. Some can be resolved by replacing the USB power brick with one of higher quality. But, other issues are just lost cause. I have 5 cameras and only 2 do what they should v2s and a v3. The v3 seems better. Still, plenty of connection issues. I have the v3 on a different USB power than the crap 120v adapter they send with.
Have you tried Blink?
You can go with the reolink argus 3 pro, or the latest 4K version, Argus 3 Ultra. Both are super great.
