Simple, Wi-Fi, wireless camera recommendations?

Hello all. Currently have a Nest doorbell and had a slightly scary event over the weekend that freaked us out but turned out to just be some neighborhood kids messing around. Regardless, we want to improve our home security a bit.

We live in a pretty good neighborhood and city with low crime so we don’t need or want anything too intense. I had bought and installed the Google Nest Cam on a whim (before learning it was just kids messing around) but it was a bit pricey and I don’t like the Google Home app or how it is separate from the Nest app. I’m looking for 2-4 cameras with the following features:

  • Wireless (ideally rechargeable with good battery life but not solar as they’ll be covered)
  • Decent picture quality
  • Decent night vision
  • Good person detection (we have a lot of rabbits/squirrels and a dog)
  • Good app (ideally able to schedule alerts or the camera itself to only work during certain hours or only at night)
  • Ideally no monthly service for app but depends on above factors
  • Ideally $100 or less per camera but willing to go up to $150 if needed

Happy to answer any other questions as well – thank you!
