I use Blink cameras in my North Carolina cabin, and I love them because the battery lasts over a year (2 x AAs) and they are easy to mount anywhere. In TV I decided to go with Ring as part of a whole house security system. I have two outdoor cameras plus the ring doorbell. The outside cameras use solar panels and batteries, and so far they've worked great. I have another property in Tampa where I use Nest, but those are hardwired. Nest does have battery options, but Blink wins on that department due to the batteries lasting such a long time. I've also used Arlo, and those batteries lasted about a month. Not a fan.
