Hi,

I am planning to replace my current wired CCTV system with something wireless. The old system required too much maintenance. The drives filled up and stopped recording or the cloud storage just didn’t work. I was having some renovations down now and the wires got in the way as well. So, the replacement.

These are my requirements. I would like some advice for what kind of system, what brands, what models, everything, I should go for. I am in India, btw, with a budget of 15,000 INR spread over 6 cameras (so 2,500 INR per camera. I might not actually install all 6 cameras).

1. The cameras need to be of decent quality with workable night mode.
2. The cameras need to be wireless.
3. They should use the existing wifi network in my house.
4. I should be able to configure anything needed from my laptop without any wires.
5. The recordings should be pushed to my google drive. Old recordings should be deleted after some time. (Not necessary to do this natively on the camera. My laptop gets connected to the wifi at least once every day so I can run some script to upload and clean up the recordings, though I would like some advice on how to do that.)
6. Live video (and old recordings, if possible) should be viewable from my smart TV connected to the same wifi (or jio set-top box, also connected to the same wifi). Ideally, they should also be viewable from some app on phones that are not on the same wifi.

I would love any advice. Please help.
