Hey Gt how often do you need to charge/replace the batteries?
Or are you using the solar panel?

Hey DemonTrich, I too looked high & low for a wireless camera setup & to no real avail. Right now I don't have internet/wifi so going wireless without a wi-fi connection was somewhat impossible for what I wanted to do. I want to record activity for sure so I had to go with a wired setup. I didn't care to have to deal with replacing batteries because with only my luck there would have been some activity & the batteries would die.

I was at Menards the other day & ALMOST bought a Motorola baby monitor that I seen there. My boss has one & it works very well so I thought Hmmmm.... why couldn't I use a baby monitor? It has night vision, sound & also alerts you when there is a slight movement or noise. Not very many people think to look into baby monitors. They too can link to your phone. Their not very pricey but can be & some even come with a couple monitors that you can mount just about anywhere wireless.

I did end up going with a wired Swann 720 HD 500GB memory for $188.00 & I have to say I do like it a lot.

No internet/Wi-Fi?

You sending messages from your toaster? Dayyyumn

Now a Reolink fan, after using a pair of these for the past year. (Argus not available then, nice!)
Easy access via smartphone, tablet, computer.

Just reminded....
My reolinks are wifi, but do require power. No worries, easy to use a battery pack making them truly wireless. Mount them in trees, or where ever. (Even if not connected to wifi because of distance, they still record to local chip for replay later. Like a "game cam".) Just have to keep the packs charged. ymmv

I have smart TVs. I should be able to link the cams to my TVs.

Unless the camera sends in a format the TV can use - this might be difficult to do. Most IP cameras do stream RSTP so a conversion device would be required, like a Raspberry Pi: https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Video/Tutorial-RTSP-Raspberry-Pi-B-Viewer-6-Cam-4-Cam/td-p/1536448

This would be just an example.

Nest cam it’s wireless just needs power. Motion sensors sends you a text when there’s movement. This jack ass tried to break into my house. He changed his mind when my nest woke me up and I stuck my .45 in his face.

Best investment I made at the time.

I just want to figure out how long the batteries stay charged before I buy one.

It's because of your wind chime I'm here to tell ya... LOL... I had a similar ordeal happen not too long ago because I too have some undeniable classy wind chimes. I figured since they thought the wind chimes were so fancy that I would show them my M&P 40 & for some reason he didn't quite care for the old girl like he did the wind chimes... No idea why not I personally think it ads a lil pizzazz to her :love2:

(nice camera too btw)
