Wifi security cameras

[dclifton]

Any info would be good on pros and cons what you like and hate.

Looking for something very user friendly. Not really sure i want anything recordable or whatever. Just something i could jump on to check the status of who is around my barns house etc. Yard guy is working or whatever else.

Preferably something waterproof that could be stuck up on corner of house or barn. that will pick up wifi.

These have worked surprisingly well for us.

Have to agree. I'm over two hours from home right now and can look at what is going on right now. Micro SD slot on mine but you don't have to put the card in unless you want to play back.

I have a reo link . Works pretty good . For some reason here lately it hasn’t been sending me notifications.

We have a Blink System. Inside cameras are plug in type, and outsides are battery. They all connect to the same app and send motion alerts and have cloud backup included with them.

So these are called WI-Fi cameras so how do they operate from a distance?
I would like to put one on my front gate but it’s a hundred yards away and my WI-FI doesn’t reach that far.

We recently got blink cameras. I did no research at all so I don't know if they compare to all the other popular brands. But I've got five cameras running. I couldn't quite stretch the distance to put one on my closest hog feeder. But I've got one on each Garden area, one on my gate, one on my chickens/rabbits, another halfway down my long driveway. Seem to be working great. You don't have to pay for the cloud service, but it goes to a flashdrive if u don't. I think it's around 10 bucks a month for unlimited amount of cameras for the cloud storage.

You would probably have to buy a mesh node / Wi-Fi extender. Put it somewhere protected between your main Wi-Fi and the gate. We have four mesh nodes for our star link wi-fi. It gives us a very large range.

I have Blink, 3 at the main home on wi-fi and 5 at place in the country on a dedicated hotspot. No problems to speak of. The cloud is $ 10 a month for up to 10 cameras.

I have a few of these. They are cheap and have a solar panel that has been flawless. You can pan and tilt them as well. Very reasonably priced on Amazon.

If you don't want to go mesh on your wifi, try Riolink Go PT Plus. Uses a sim card like you cell phone. $90 per year unlimited. I have two of these at the farm and have been running them a couple years.

My sister runs the Blink cameras, I'm impressed enough that I'm going to give them .

This is what i've had for a couple of years. I pay $72/year. Never had a problem with it.
