I rent so I cannot set up a wired system. I need two of them and preferably they’d be okay in severe weather. Thunderstorms are common in spring / autumn as is severe weather including tornadoes. In fact my house nearly got hit by one two months ago. Fun times. Summers are hot and sometimes humid. Currently 90s. Triple digits probably late this month or next.

We don’t typically get snow in the winter but it can get cold. Reached zero degrees last December. Supposed to be “rare” but climate is changing and whatnot.

Would prefer to keep it under $300 for both cameras but I’m willing to bump it up a little for better quality if necessary.

        With the echo sure. But in that regard what isn’t spying on us? Our phones are always listening lol. As far as the cameras though they are on their own self contained system. Saved footage as far as I know doesn’t even get uploaded to any of their servers. It’s all just saved to your personal hub on an SD card.

          I don’t really like the argument “what isn’t spying on us?”. I’d rather avoid anything that spies on its users and doesn’t respect privacy as much as possible. It’s not completely unavoidable.
