SECURITY CAMERA RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DURING A REHAB

[Steve Sorensen]

Has anyone found a good security camera for doing a remote BRRRR????

There's so much crap and terrible descriptions on Amazon and elsewhere on the internet...I can't find a good answer anywhere. I'm BRRRRing a property out of state and have had some semi-minor vandalism to the home while it's under construction so I need to get some cameras in there. Here's what I'm looking for/thinking of:

- WiFi enabled - I want to buy a hotspot from AT&T and set it up in the home and connect the cameras to the hotspot. I don't want to have to hardwire the cameras for the signal itself.

- Cloud storage - I want a reliable app that has cloud storage so that even if the cameras get stolen/damaged that I still have the video stored in the cloud. I found a couple that have cloud storage but their trash websites won't tell me how much the damn monthly payment is so I'm not willing to just guess. They do advertise their free 7 day trial though of course!!! How wonderful.

-  Can be wired for power or battery/solar powered. Preferably wired because I'm going to put one inside the house but I can make either option work.

Let me know if anyone has used anything that fits that description or has other suggestions. Thanks!

@Steve Sorensen Over the years, I've used both the Nest Cameras (by Google), and the Wyze cameras. Both work great and have been reliable for me.

Nest cameras are about $130 each. Wyze v3 cameras are about $39 each.

I think the Wyze are actually superior cameras. They're water proof, indoor/outdoor, have really good night vision, and store on an SD card as well as optional cloud (~$2/month)

Nest is closer to a real security system where you can watch all cameras at the same time from your cellphone. We have 5 indoor cameras and our 2 week cloud storage is about $20-25/month.

Wyze app is good too, but can only actively watch 1 camera at a time. But can't beat the price!

Both have great notifications to the mobile app.

Hope this helps!
