Solar Security Camera, with Network/Cloud Storage

nuttapillar on 10/12/2023 - 03:32

Hi, I'm looking to get a camera to watch over my front yard, mainly to see if anyone is stealing from my mailbox.
I don't have any power access out there, and I'm renting, so it's gotta run off solar.
I'm hoping it can connect to my wifi network so I can watch it from my phone, and I also want the footage sent to a local network storage and/or the cloud.
Stored on the camera is not much good if the thief notices the camera and breaks it, destroying the footage.
I know there is a similar thread, but they never settled on which one is best, and I've heard that the argus cameras seem good, but they have a high failure rate. And I've seen some other cameras linked that don't make it clear if they support network/cloud storage, or the resolution is too low.
Thanks

    It might be a bit more expensive, but look at the Ring products, I think that will work best for you.

    I have one of the Door Bells and very happy with it.

    I’m quite happy with my Reolink Trackmix which I believe ticks your boxes.

      They look pretty good, but bloody expensive. Do I need their homebase, or can I tell it to backup to my media server, or cloud? Or alternatively, send recordings to my phone?

        yes Home base is required, comes with the 2 pack or 4 pack deal
        Cloud storage is possible with subscription but then again, home base is still required
