What's good security system? The cameras have to be completely wireless, and they also have to withstand -10 fahrenheit weather.
Looking at home depot and hazard freight all the cameras appear to need external power. I don't want to have to drill holes and feed power lines through walls, and I don't want to second rate handyman doing it either.
I have eufy and they are ok

I actually already have something similar.
Any good camera system is hard wired
>But I don't want to drill le holes
Why are you even on this board
Yeah, this post is fricking moronic. Idk why anyone would respond to it with any seriousness
reolink makes some good 360 pan tilt zoom cameras
>good
>wireless

Do you even cellular telephone?
Oh, you mean the cell phone that you have to charge every day? moron.
>tfw only have a mobular telephonic
it doesn't matter, you won't do it.
Blink works fine for me
I used to live in hostels, next door to smack heads and had people turning up at my flat so was very security conscious.
If you have more money to spend, I'd get the Netgear Arlo.
1.) it can run wired or wireless (they can conserve power and run for weeks apparently by enabling the motion activated settings)
2.) they have high resolution versions with night-vision
3.) they have some smart functions built into them, e.g. ability to talk / sound alarm through base station, face recognition; not essential but nice to have
4.) a big selling point, they can work both locally and remotely. some of the smart home ones require you to buy running subscriptions and will only stream to the cloud. meaning a.) constant running cost and b.) what if something happens whilst the net is down or a burglar just disconnects the phone line? you get 7 days free storage with the arlo and can hide a local drive at the property
5.) it's kind of gimmicky and kind of not but they sell little camouflage neoprene skins for them so you can colour code them round the house or camo them for outdoors to hide them in bushes etc easier
my cttv advice would be, try to put some low down or near the floor looking up (at a path for instance), as people looking to cause problems often keep their faces down and their hoods up specifically because they know most cameras are overhead and point down

>I don't want to have to drill holes
How are you going to power them? Once you have figured out that this means drilling holes, you might as well thread coax or CAT5 through those holes.
Best setup is where each camera covers another camera. So meth-heads can't sneak up behind one camera and pull it off the wall without being captured by another.
>all the cameras appear to need external power
are you fricking moronic?
I'm sorry, but energy density hasnt gotten an order of three magnitudes better in the last few years.
I'm not sure what you fricking expect, my nothing fancy security camera takes ~5W to be on and work. you need a fricking 60Wh battery to run for one 24hr cycle.
Even if you got the power usage down to just 1W somehow, the max size battery you can fit through air travel is 100WH so pretty much any camera system would last at max 100 hours before you have to go change the battery.
>inb4 solar
you will need a panel roughly one square meter in size to sustain it.
>inb4 ring camera
those are meant to record maybe 5 minutes of video a day at most and/or 100 shitty pictures of events.
Pretty much all of Snowdens sayings is right. I like security wallings and anti theft stuff, if its personal usage, if other people can acces it, and they might dislike you, it can only be dangerous and a weakness.
wouldn't running your own server fix this issue? like wire all the cameras into a server in your basement that transcodes and stores the last 7 days of footage.
you could even upload it to the cloud automatically for pretty cheap, pic related
