    Default Security camera

    Hi guys,
    Looking to buy a security camera. Wether it is a hunting camera snapping on movement or a video camera that doesn't fill up hard drive too fast. Any recommendations?
    Night vision would be nice. To point it out the front door towards the driveway type purpose. Preferably $50 To $150 price range.
    Thanks

    Looked into the Nest? Pretty cool multi function tools including doorbell cam. Right to your phone.

    bought a cammo colored hunting camera and hide it in some bushes / aim it at front door and check the sd card about every week or so .

    pretty sure I know which ''nice neighbour'' stole my propane tank a few years ago right off my bbq lol.

    Cheapest GOOD (security) video camera out there is made by WYZE.
    They don't do advertising - which saves money - and they don't lose mark-up by selling thru a big box store.
    They try to sell direct, so $/unit it pretty good.

    I have the Wyze CamPan which is like $30 and will rotate 360 and has good app to view from phone.
    Regular Wyze Cam (less range) can be bought for just $20 (and does have Night Vision and two-way sound).

    They just recently came out with a Motion Sensor - and if you hook that up in the line-of-sight of your Cam, it will take 12-sec videos from the Camera (which I think are stored on Wyze server/cloud).
    That's called Wyze Sense and comes with two click-tabs to monitor things that open-close, like doors or cabinets or even a mailbox - if within WiFi range.
    I think Wyze Sense goes for $20.

    I know people quickly become fond of these, for their price, and set up several around their house.

    (btw. I'm not affiliated with them or marketing it... just a big fan of good products at great prices.)

    That's great boys, thanks for the help. I will look into these asap.
    I'm thinking I want something that doesn't require WiFi. I turn ours off at night.

    I would just say one thing ... be careful with personal home surveillance technology when we live in a surveillance state. Be particularly mindful of allowing the apps to access your data, and information stored on your phone / in the cloud. You could be offering up lots of private information that's going to be sold to third parties and stored in databases for nefarious use.

    I've heard great things about Wyze cameras...I don't use them personally but know people who do and they love them. Great quality, price, and functionality.

    The issue with Nest, I heard, is that you require a subscription service? Not really certain of that, though.

    I borrowed a swann camera system. It works pretty good. Think it sells for $400. So far so good. Having a slight problem transferring some files not sure why but the night vision is solid. Easy to use.
