I have changed my mind several times while looking for the ideal security camera system for a small area at my warehouse. I originally looked for a single camera with action cam attributes.
1. Wide angle to cover a large area preferably 120-170 degrees
2. Large capacity sd card. Minimum 128, preferably 256
3. A camera with a built in ap hotspot to connect directly to the cameras live local feed with app or rtsp, and access recorded videos on the sd card via my phone or laptop. No monitor needed
Then I changed my mind to a baby monitor because it was long range 2.4ghz local only, but most baby monitors dont have sd cards for recording. Then I looked at analog DVR CCTV system because it was cheap and fulfilled my needs for local only surveillance. Then I changed my mind to a NVR ip system because it could also function on a local only level. and also has better video quality
Now I'm back to the stand alone camera that serves all my needs because we will be moving from this warehouse in a about a year, and I'm not wasting my time with the setup.
So now I'm back to looking for a camera with all of these attributes.
Must be capable of full functionality without the need for internet or a router, have a AP hotspot I can directly connect my phone to, have a large capacity sd card slot, have h.264/h.265 video compression, have a app that does not require internet access to function, and have timelapse and loop recording
Action cameras fit most of those criteria, but most lack in large sd capacity, lack in video compression, and lack in long range wifi connectivity.
Does anyone know of a stand alone 2.4ghz camera that fit my criteria for less than $100?. I found a few but they cost big$$$
