I currently have several Google Home devices, and 2 Nest Protect smoke alarms. I'm looking to get some cameras for home security, and can't decide what to get. I'd like these cameras to also have spotlight/floodlight incorporated (but am willing to buy a light separately if necessary), have some level of cloud recording, and remote notification/viewing. I'd prefer not to have to pay for cloud recording, but if I have to, so be it.
I'm hoping not to hard-wire these, and rely on battery and wifi (I have a strong Unifi wifi network).
I'm thinking the Nest cameras might be the easiest integration, but it appears they don't have battery options. I like how the Arlo have free subscription for up to 5 devices (7 days should be long enough).
Any other options/suggestions?
I went with 2x Unifi Cameras. What I liked about them:
* I dont have to pay for cloud service - they store approx 30 days of continuous recording on my drive
* plays nicely with my other unifi products (switch and WAPs)
* they run off PoE
