Is there anything that runs for a decent amount of time, wifi and essentially all-wireless? Blink somewhat works on its own local hub, but honestly its crap for detecting when things happen so I wont be upgrading from my used 2-pack + hub even though it does integrate well with HA.
I'd really like something that'd be apartment friendly so no drilling holes.
The TP-Link Tapo cameras I have are wireless and seem to work well enough. I'd recommend to run them through frigate or some other independent surveillance software if you don't want them internet accessible.
They're quite cheap when they're on special, and Amazon seem to have specials on them relatively regularly.
(as much as I don't like to recommend Amazon for anything)
All wireless means all of your cameras can be disabled at any time by anyone with a $20 jammer off eBay.
They’d have to know you’re running wireless, though.
They have to know only to achieve the goal of disabling the camera, but they would probably use it for everyone's, and hope for the best if they are desperate. I am not sure if you can tell if the camera has been disabled.
Pretty obvious by looking at them. Everyone has one of the same 5 brands, and the models are obvious when you see them.
