I ended up buying the Casacam. It is a monitor that plugs into the wall. It gets charged and you can unplug it like a laptop and walk around with it or place it in another room. I have a smaller house (a ranch) so connection is pretty good. You have to plug the cameras in a wall outlet. I mounted mine above my door bell area and I had to feed the cord into the attic. It was a pain and I got stung by a wasp. Anyways. I ran it down inside the wall to an outlet. I connected the outlet part of the cord to the camera cord and ran it back up. So the plug is connected to the outlet and I made a little sliver so the cord feeds into the wall by the outlet. The outlet and the camera connect in middle. I hope this makes sense. It comes with two cameras so the other one I mounted it over the garage and ran the cord in the attic to the outlet in the ceiling. This is where my garage door is plugged in. On the ceiling. I made a little hole in the ceiling so the cord can pass through. On the cameras, they are a bit bulky. They, however, do a great job. If anyone gets close, the cameras will beep. On the monitor, you can tap the camera screen and it will zone in. When this happens, it opens up the speaker and you can hear the person outside. In this mode, you can hold the bottom button on the right side and speak to the person. I saw my lady neighbor and started speaking to her through the camera. I told her not to let her dog poop om my yard. She answered me back. It was great. The camera screen will turn black and white at night. You can see very well. Once again,if anyone gets close to the camera it will beep AND the cameras have a spot light that turns on automatic if anyone gets close to it. I actually love it. I sit at my couch in my living room which is in the back part of the house and I can see who rings the door bell, if I want to get up, if I want to speak to they through the camera, or exnore them. I also can see with the other camera if anyone drives up or drives by. It comes with a chip so you can also record or take a picture. I have not figured out how to do this but that is on me because I have not read the directions yet. So I do love these camera but it is going to take a little work to set up. You can buy an extention cord if it is not long enough and need more cord to an outlet. I believe the exta cord is $10. I bought one. Overall, great produce. Oh yes. You do not need wifi. They work without it. You can, however, put it to wifi and have it connect to your smart phone. I habe not done it. Once again, I have read the dirrections yet. I think that pretty much covers it.

Me and my wife started off using the little tiny wifi cameras but our phones kept losing signal so we would have to restart the camera and readjust it every time. So we decided to buy the Casacam system. I will definitely rate the CasaCam system 5 stars. It was easy to set up, very sturdy and it's just like it says no Wi-Fi or internet needed unless you want to hook it up to a router, it's easy to scan the QR code and link the cameras to the app on your phone. You just have to keep typing the password in a couple times but no problem. The microphone that is install in the cameras are very sensitive and catches the littlest sound so you can hear a dog barking from acouple houses down for example. The cameras are easy to adjust and mount when setting them up. The motion detection is very sensitive as well. Any noise or movement the cameras start recorded immediately and the beeping starts on the monitor. I am definitely happy with my purchase, I recommend this system especially for the price as well. You can't beat this system especially it's hard to find a camera system that DOESNT need wifi. The cameras go off of the signal from the monitor. And if you want to check your cameras on the go, just link the cameras to the "mycam view app" the QR code is on the back of the monitor. Very good camera system.

The product seems fine - the true test is after you've had it a few months or even if it lasts a year. Most new items work fairly well. Night vision is better than those I have - as with HD night vision the screen is constantly moving and will look a bit blurred. Spotlight is a nice touch. Edit ... bought two cameras in 2019, a few months apart. One monitor was Fuzzy but overall still worked fairly well. After a few months a storm caused electrical surges which resulted in problems with one monitor - replaced entire set in June 2020. The newer cameras have a wider sight range - very good but - that places sights at least 10 feet further away that it should, not so good - nor is it's motion detection as sensitive as the older model cameras - not so good either. Spotlight makes night vision better -without light as with most cameras night vision is poor. But over all the cameras have a very sturdy frame compared to other all other models in that category - that's an A+. Monitors could use a bit of tweaking - often times they get stuck in a mode and you have to pull out the SD card to turn it off then restart - still overall a B-. Have to add - these newer versions of their cameras have 6 screws outside on the lens which means they will receive moisture. THEY WILL FOG UP & eventually create a big problem - I had to send the one back I started using almost immediately _ with no problem from the manufacturer. January 2022 - monitor problems on the one I bought in 2021 had to replace the set. Noted cameras still have screws I guess that is their design now - the first design without screws were excellent cameras in the rain. With the new design and screws on the lens, I'd advise to put a covering over them or have them in a covered area. Still the sturdiest built camera on the on the market of those kind - and these cameras with this purchase has very good night vision without extra lighting.

good clear picture.

Great customer service nice camera set up easy to use unlike some on the market.
not going to Wi-Fi so not sure how good that is but everything else records as it should without Wi-Fi and that's a plus. without Wi-Fi no one can tap into your lineðŸ‘
