I currently have Foscam and Amcrest wifi IP cams and I'm looking to replace them one at a time, starting with the Foscam FI9804P that is currently monitoring my driveway. I've been browsing the forum and reading the cliff notes and it seems that Dahua 2mp starlight would be a good bet. Are these cameras only POE or do they have wifi as well? I understand POE has a more stable connection since it's going directly to my router or a hub/switch but I've got no experience with them and not sure what's required.
The camera will be located on the outside wall of my garage, and my router is inside my house, so I guess I would be concerned about cabling if POE is the best route to go with. Would I need to move my router to the garage or do I have other options? Or is there a Dahua Starlight model that supports wifi?
Any advisc would be appreciated.
