Indoor / outdoor WIRELESS camera system? (1 Viewer)

[DomePatrol2005]

Anyone have a suggestion for an inexpensive one?

I've been using the Arlo system for a few years now and I'm satisfied.

Wyze Cam. It's only for indoor though.

Take a look at Blink System. They were recently purchased by Amazon. I got in when they were on kickstarter. The camera shows a beautiful picture with sound. They just started making an outdoor camera. They are battery powered and you should only have to replace the batteries 1 or 2 times a year. www.blinkforhome.com

Thanks Saintamaniac! I will be going with blink and apparently the batter is 2 years now.

I never heard of blinks. How far from the router are your cameras? Is there any lag in frame rate due to wifi? Can you read license plates on the street?

i read that it stops recording after 30 seconds though is that correct?

My Arlo cameras are for show. It's a complete waste of $500. They won't hold a charge for more than 36 hours or so. It's really irritating.

Doesn't Amazon also own Ring now? What's the difference between the two? I mean other than that Ring is actually a doorbell too.

I just ordered two Blink systems for home and office. 5 indoor and 3 outdoor for $600 delivered. Got a promo code in the mail for 20% off orders over $150 until 7/31: austin20

I saw they have a video doorbell now, but I already have a Ring. Does anyone know if it can be added to the Blink system?

Does the blink only record when motion activates it? Or can you record 24/7?

@zeetes you have one, can you give some details. Thanks.

I think you can see live video 24x7, but it only records on motion if you have it armed for motion.

How can I arm my system for motion detection?
How do I use Scheduled Arming?

That's all I've been able to find so far. Maybe someone with one could confirm.

I'm interested in these and the Reolink Argus 2. Just wish one of them allowed a local DVR for recording.

Amazon has their own camera's as well, with a two way speaker. I'd also prefer the indoor cameras to have IR capability. So, trying to understand the differences between the two.
