New cam pkg recommendations.

Recommended Posts

I have multiple arlo/netgear wifi cameras. They perform ok. One issue I have is the battery usage is inaccurate. I'll receive a low battery warning, pull the batteries, test, and they show 90% (firmware is up to date). Connections for alerts are spotty at best. Frequently I will attempt to connect and the camera will just fail even though the reception shows 2 or 3 out of 3 bars. My MAIN issue is the time needed to connect. It looks as if the connection goes from my handheld to my wifi, back to their server somewhere, then to the app, and then back along the path. When the connections do succeed, it can take 30 seconds to a minute to establish. Quite a bit can happen in that time. I've been researching replacement devices, but I researched netgear too, before purchasing, so I thought Id come to a forum and ask the experts.

1) Multi-camera system, at least 4, preferably 8 capacity.

2) Accessible via internet for live view/stored video view.

3) Hard-wired for data preferable to avoid wifi issues and

of course, to avoid compromised data due to the recent issues

with wireless security.

4) Local storage, to DVR, even dedicated workstation/server, or local HDD.

5) On-board battery backup, hard-wired for power.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
