I rent so I cannot set up a wired system. I need two of them and preferably they’d be okay in severe weather. Thunderstorms are common in spring / autumn as is severe weather including tornadoes. In fact my house nearly got hit by one two months ago. Fun times. Summers are hot and sometimes humid. Currently 90s. Triple digits probably late this month or next.
We don’t typically get snow in the winter but it can get cold. Reached zero degrees last December. Supposed to be “rare” but climate is changing and whatnot.
Would prefer to keep it under $300 for both cameras but I’m willing to bump it up a little for better quality if necessary.
Honestly, a Lorex/Dahua/Hikvision IP camera, or even a no-name amazon IP camera should work. They all support ONVIF and can generally be watched over HTTP. They don’t require a NVR or anything and certainly don’t require anything more than a network connection. They’re not wireless, however.
