We use the same Blink video system from Amazon.. Needs some adjustments within the app to stop the false movement alarms.. They work great, and when purchased on sale they are a great value. $10.95 to store videos online.

Default Wyze Pan Cam v3

Wyze Cam Pan v3 is the best I've found.

Lots of accessories at Amazon to extend power or special mounting solutions.

I have 4 Outdoor Google Nest Cameras and one inside. Love them. Good resolution. 60 days backup by Google. Hard wired with battery backup if needed. Zoom is very efficient.

We have 3 Eufy cameras. They are wireless and the best part is that we don't pay a monthly fee. The system comes with a storage unit for the videos, and you monitor the system via the app. Bought off Amazon

If you need wireless, my Arlo cameras connect much faster than my Blink cameras and I would recommend Arlo

We have 3 Amazon Blink cameras, 2 outside & 1 inside in Fl. I also have 3 up north. They are wireless and utilize 2 lithium AA batteries each which last 2 years under normal use! Very easy to set up. I also have Quantum Fiber for my internet provider.

Blink cameras come specifically for indoor and outdoor use.

I have Wyze cameras inside and out at both our houses. Connected the outside ones to solar panels.

Eufy... Excellent quality, no subscription fees, everything stored on local hard drive. Can't beat them.

Default Best to have a licensed professional install them

I previously had NEST…which was fine.
I replaced it with a RING doorbell. It is much slower than NEST , there is quite a delay from the time someone rings the bell and when I receive the notification. The RING indoor camera isn’t that great, either.
I’ll look at another system for outdoor cameras.

I have found SimpliSafe to be extremely easy to setup and use, very reliable, has great technical support and monitoring and reasonably priced.
