I want to get some cameras for the inside and outside of my house. I don’t want to break the bank, and I don’t want to have to subscribe to view or keep video. What are my options.

I did look at the Wyze cameras. Just not sure if they are good.

Korkstand will disagree (because he's used to dealing with higher quality products), but look at the Reolink ecosystem. Their PTZ cameras have worked well for me. My kid loves playing with them.

Yep, Reolink has various models to fit your use case. Ive got them at my house and have installed them for friends/customers. Usually readily available at nice price point.

I have Reolink PTZ, Arlo Pro and Wyze Cam V3 cameras. But none of them are better than my EZVIZ C8W Pro (outdoor) and C6W (indoor) cameras. From a value perspective, the features, exceptional app and low comparative cost of the C8W Pros can't be beat in my opinion.

I've said on here before and I'll say again, I don't think there's a better value than Reolink. Strictly looking at what you pay vs. what you get, I don't think Reolink can be beat. The prices are incredibly cheap and the cameras work surprisingly well.

That said, I think they do still suffer from poor performance at night. If the scene is static, the image quality is good or even great. But as soon as things start moving around in the dark (which is like 90% of what we are interested in) things get fuzzy.

Of course there are much better cameras, but I don't know anyone who's been disappointed after buying Reolink.

Have been very happy with my Reolink cameras I put in earlier this year.
