House security IP camera

[Steevo]

Anybody recommend one to mount on front of house? Area of view approx 30m x 30m.

Nothing too fancy required, but I'd rather not buy cheap rubbish that will only last a year.

Lot of wings to type cameras coming on the market just now, there is nest,d link and a few others

WiFi not wings(fudging spell check)

What worries me with those is they might be household quality, at a high brand price.

Use y-cam here - good stuff, cheap but not too cheap ! easy set up, phone app and decent quality. Been fitted a few years now without issue and have a few around farm buildings as well

cricklewoodelectronics.com have a good range of gear, reasonably priced and they will help you. I've used them for several years.

Those Foscam cameras look very well priced. I see you liked @Clive's Y-cam reply too. Any preference?

Happy to discuss your requirements

I don't have a mobile phone and don't want one (deaf). Is there something similar that will store photos or video? I suppose if linked up to a computer, the computer would need to be permanently switched on?

HikVision cameras each and every time for me. Buy Europe versions from a decent seller, they are more expensive but should the software upgrade they wont fudge things up for you.

I use https://www.use-ip.co.uk/ fantastic company, I left them an online review after purchasing a couple of cameras from them and won a third one.

Think it was this model https://www.use-ip.co.uk/hikvision-ds-2cd2042wd-i.html

So
How do these cameras work.
Do they need to be in site of a router?
Or can you get them to connect direct to net

Looking for something to get pics back to house from storage compound
Not easy to hard wire
Have a stand alone system over there but need to go over there to check cameras.
Would be nice for at least 1to be connected however back to the house

Possibly a stupid question but do thee cameras just work absolutely anywhere or do they need to be in range of wireless broadband or plugged into the internet?
I want to put a camera into my milking robot shed to let me see what the milking arm is doing when I am away to guide those that are left in charge of the farm.
I have a landline phone cable for the alarm dialler in the robot shed but no broadband.
I can install a cable to the PC in my office which does get wireless broadband from the farm house.
