Been on the hunt for an HD wireless outdoor security camera for a while and nothing has quite hit the mark but this looks promising. Battery life is 4-6 months on 4xCR123 batteries. Only thing which is a little frustrating is it needs a base station. It's a shame it doesn't just connect directly to a router. Starts at $199.99 for one camera and the base station through to $499.99 for 4 cameras and the base station.

Another hub, another 'box' to join the myriad of boxes that are required to be directly plugged into my router. To me, that's a huge drawback. In addition I find the cameras to be a bit pricey given that most people will want 3-4 to fully cover the main parts of their houses.

Arlo just launched a new outdoor, wire-free camera called Arlo Pro. Check it out on Product Hunt! https://www.producthunt.com/post...

What attracted me to Arlo originally was the wirelessness of it - but the router is annoying and not necessary. Also, there is a delay between when it detects motion and when it starts recording, so unless you position your cameras perfectly, you can totally miss whatever it was that triggered the camera.

Arlo website doesn't work, the project has been abandoned? Wire-free smart security cameras are part of biometric trends https://recfaces.com/articles/bi... for the next few years. I would recommend reading this article, it could give some ideas for new projects.
