I have a blink doorbell cam and its terrible. It takes forever to connect and they can't seem to figure out why. The delivery guy can ring the doorbell and drive off by the time I can pull video up.
I have some Wyze brand pan tilt zoom cameras and they work pretty good, especially for the price.

I have a Ring also. Wired to the original home doorbell so no charging required. Mine is connected to Alexa but that is not required. The video/audio is on the phone(s) through the app. Works pretty good. Thinking about another one for 2 views outside the house.
EDIT: We have a couple Arlo cameras at our rental property(in a 9 building complex) They work OK but we were told the solar chargers would be fine...in our location/application they're not. In the process of hard wiring them.

Had a Ring doorbell. Worked fine. Got rid of it after reading more about who has access to it without the owners permission. No Thanks So what you are saying it can be used to see when the homeowners leave the house? Can they also turn it off? Never heard of any issues like that with anyone I know that has one...
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Not for me, I have a week recorded.

Something else I hadn't thought about until I read up on these posts.
As a security camera they are worthless if you don't store the video away from the camera.
How much does a monthly subscription cost?
Some advertise "6 second loops stored to the cloud for free" is that good enough?
well, for security camera's I figured it was the opposite. if someone broke into my house they would steal the dvr to prevent me from having evidence, thinking they got the recordings. each camera has a SD slot so if they take the dvr, I still have local recordings. of course to your point, if they took the cameras and dvr, I would have nothing. reolink can be set up to send images to your phone like Wyze cameras do, so that would be something. and not to be political, but apparently even if you have a full face image of someone the cops generally don't care.

We have Amazon Blink cameras set up around our place. They alert your phone immediately and upload videos to the cloud for free, no subscription fees. They delete from the cloud after about 30 days. In the mean time you can download and save whatever you want.

Had a Ring doorbell. Worked fine. Got rid of it after reading more about who has access to it without the owners permission. No Thanks the gov't doesn't need your ring doorbell to know where you are,what you are doing etc... Yeah I agree. That micro chip we all carry with us every where we go. Tells them everything they need to know. But, I'm not putting up a camera for them to use at my house. And I don't agree with the people who say I don't care. I don't do anything wrong anyway. That's not the point. It's invasion of privacy.
