Best Wireless Security Cameras 2023 | Ring vs. Reolink vs. Wyze vs. Nest

5:31 That's not how the IP rating works. The first number refers to the solids protection while the second refers to the water protection. It is 1 point lower on solids.

Thanks for the video, you have no idea how much this video just helped me.

I love my RING. wireless = how it connects to the base station.

Question: For the cameras using SD cards, it seems the user would need to physically retrieve the card from the camera, then install the card in a computer in order to view its contents (somewhat similar to retrieving jewelry from a safe deposit box in order to wear it for an occasion). Is this accurate?

[@asksafewise]

Somewhat! With the Reolink PT, for example, that SD card inside gave the camera something to record on which was then accessible through the app. But when we took it out and read it on a desktop, we found a lot more stored. You'll eventually need to take the SD card out once it's full, but that's not a daily task. Most of the time, you can see everything on the app.

Thanks for this review. I have a summer home that I want to secure with cameras, but it’s 40 acres, so Wi-Fi and wired systems aren’t practical. I have been using a Reolink Go PT Plus with a solar panel. I generally like it - it gives me a great picture, sound, notifications, no monthly fee, alarm (no light), zoom and 360 views. But the battery is horrible. Even with the solar panel charging it, I’m only getting 6-8 weeks out of it, and then I have to drive an hour each way (twice) to recharge it. I’d like to add 20-30 more cameras, but some will be in the woods, so solar won’t be as much help, and I can’t even imagine the constant charging, times 20-30! Do you have any suggestions?

[@asksafewise]

What a pain! Sounds like you might need a more permanent solution like a PoE or more hard-wired setup, especially with the number of cameras you're wanting to add. Brands like Lorex or Deep Sentinel might be good places to start.

[@rbhe357]

One major item missed. The Wyze, while wired, doesnt require periodic charging, and records on a constant loop, not just hit or miss events. With a 64gb card you can get around 8 days of 24x7 recording on top of cloud events.

great work. I'm surprised you don't have more ups with this quality!

[@asksafewise]

Thank you! Feel free to share our stuff with anyone you think might find it helpful.

Great review

[@mikegruber172]

Power source? Mine are on Solar.

Why didn’t the Eufy S330 make the list?

[@asksafewise]

Since Eufy's privacy issue arose last year, we've been holding off on putting any of their stuff on our best-ofs. Their cameras are still awesome though! We'll look into that one a little more. Thanks for the recommendation!
