We use Arlo. Sold at Costco. $300? Three cameras. Wireless. Easy to use. App on phone controls it all.

That brand hasn't had very good reviews.....upfront purchase price.....and then a necessary subscription plan following shortly after purchase. What
has your experience been like with the hidden subscription costs, etc ?
Don't believe everything you think....

Wyze Security Camera.
What's great about this system, if/when the electricity or Internet goes down this camera will start working without having to have a human to
push/reset any buttons.
Cost around $30 per camera. We have several around our home in US & BCS.

We have ARLO on a couple homes one is very remote and we run the system on a AT&T hot spot we have had very little issues once we learned how to
use them... the costs are very minimal compared to the systems we run on our buildings.
I personally set the ARLO systems up myself and Im a Old Fart non IT type. so its easy .... the nice thing is there WIFI so you can hide them and its
interesting what we see when we are nor around....the fact that some are visible are a deterrent according to the local LEA's
I had to turn off notifications because the wild animals were setting them off....foxs bobcats coyotes birds etc etc.

I have a nest camera bought it at walmart $100.00 although its not 100% wireless, you need to plug into a power source but wireless wi-fi. We have it
on our place in Los Barriles and works great...look at it all the time on my phone.

My NOB home has the 8 camera Swann from Costco. It was north of a grand, but it is 4k and has very good IR night shots.
The BCS home will be Arlo wireless. Attempted to install the Swann system, but there just wasn't enough conduit in the concrete walls to tie
everything back to the wifi room, so wireless it is

Hey Ged,
Yeah, I was a little worried after reading the reviews too. We haven't had a problem in 9 months. I don't have a subscription plan - didn't know
there was one!

Amazon has a load of wifi cameras. cheap. i have one ...works a trick.
reviews on the Amazon site. if several thousand reviews give it 4 stars, its likely an ok device.

Been using an Arlo Pro2 for several years at our USA home and really like it. The pro system does not require a subscription for up to 5 cameras and
will save all triggered camera videos for 7 days then delete them. We are bringing down a 3 camera system on this trip.
