Thank you for ending my search for a Wi-Fi trail camera and starting my search for a Wi-Fi security camera
Did you find something that worked?
Where did the rabbit hole lead?
@@kwrzesien17I've been on it. So far, they suck. At the same price point you get a camera with the quality of what you see from CCTV footage on a news report. Ghosting, bad sound, bad image quality.
I'm looking at a product called the NatureSpy WiFi Wildcam 2 which seems to be developed for the specific purpose of just enjoying wildlife. But I haven't yet looked at picture and sound quality.
If you want a WiFi security camera with the same quality as a trailcam you're looking hundreds.
"I'M NOT YELLING, THIS IS HOW I TALK!"
Thanks for watching 👍
😂
As I looked at them, my suspicions were raised as to their "wifi" capabilities. Thanks for spelling it out with no nonsense!
I appreciate you watching. 👍
Good info! I have been looking for a trail cam to put anywhere from 50 feet to 300 feet or so from my house and would simply like to be able to connect it to my phone when I am within range, but there is not a lot of info to be found. Amazon search is very deceptive! Thank you for making this video, it is the first one I have found that provided me with a shred of valuable information.
Hi. Same here. So there is a wifi signal from cell phone and camera up to about 40 ft. Would changing the antenna, bigger and better, increase the wifi range??
Thanks! I am a beginner to trail cams; bought one to try get video of the otters on our farm. It was 'wifi', and I couldn't figure it out. You have helped explain this, bigtime!
I appreciate you watching 👍
I've been looking for a camera my older parents can use to view wildlife outside their house. And it has to be EASY to use. It's frustrating. I couldn't find any explanation of how the WIFI was used. You explained it. Guess I'm going to start looking for a WIfI security camera too. Thanks for the video!
I know people that bought wifi cams, because they thought they can connect to a network. So this is a good video to see.
First thing I noticed when I set my new camera up. Thank you for confirming what I see. I’m going to try it but will likely send it back because of this.
Can't see any advantage in buying a wifi trail cam for me . Glad you brought up the subject. 👍
We have a couple, like Dave mentioned they are good for checking the position is correct, or the cam is working.
Live view via Wifi would be great for people watching wildlife at home. For most people who use them I agree, it’s not needed.
Thanks for posting this. The advantage of the Reolink wifi cameras is that you can live stream or watch recordings on your phone, tablet *or* PC. In other words, they really do connect to your home wifi and are accessible from anywhere you have an Internet connection. Their mobile and PC apps work very well. The disadvantage is that it takes some massaging of the detection AI in the app to get the camera to act like a trail camera; most of these cameras are designed for security, as you mentioned. Reolink does have a solar-powered trail camera (Keen Ranger PT) but it is cellular. Hopefully they will expand their lineup soon to include a wifi version.
Thank you so much for this information! I just spent most of the day trying to figure out why I can’t get this trail camera to connect. Wish I would have found you in the morning, would have saved me a lot of frustration!
Thank you for clearing up the wi-fi issue. I too believed it would connect to my internet.
Glad I found this video.
I need one I can access on the fly and there’s no cellular connection on the property. I was wondering why no one could answer that question if they were WiFi l ready.
Now I know.
Thank you!
Thanks for this, where I’m putting a trail cam has no cell signal and I want to be able to use this exactly as you described, and also am thankful for you making sure people understand what they are and AREN’T getting.
Thank you for clearing this up. I have even had sales people try to tell me that these trail cams can hook to one's wifi router. It's good to know this is a broadcasting device, that broadcasts wifi rather than to receive the signal like a phone, laptop, or other wifi capable device. I was thinking about getting one under the wrong assumption, but decided to do a little recon first. Glad I found your channel. Just subbed.
I appreciate you watching and for the support 👍
The cell camera companies must be buying out anyone who brings a true wifi game cam to market. Hard to believe this still doesn’t exist
Thank you very much for this info, guess I'll look for a cellular camera system for monitoring my farm since the WiFi cameras have such limited range
Hi I am curious. 0 tech here and I kind of like these wifi cameras. They make it easier to download pics from around 30-50 feet so far. I hunt real deep woods with no cellular network or wifi. If these wifi trail cameras emit a signal to a cell phone via blue tooth and app, would upgrading the antenna ex.(Gardepro E8) entend the wifi range?
I just want to use the camera when I camping to keep an eye on my camper, I don't plan on placing the camera somewhere and leaving it, so it seems a wifi trail camera would meet my needs. Any comments?
🙋♂️Guilty as charged! Thanks for clearing this up and ending my frustrating attempts on trying to get this to connect with my Wi-Fi. It’s still easy enough though to grab the memory card and watch it from the computer.
I've been trying to figure that out and now I understand. Thanks for a very informative video.
Thanks for clearing that up, Dave.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
What you are describing is exactly the reason I wanted them. I don’t want my footage in the cloud. I get that most people don’t care about that, but I don’t mind having to keep my connection local.
If you are setting up a trail cam in the woods as it’s meant to be utilized, then WiFi networks most likely wouldn’t be available anyway. You would need a cellular connection for your use case.
Thank you! I wish I had watched this before I bought my wife two "WiFi" trail cams! I have been trying all sorts of port forwarding with the PC and router...... No Luck and No wonder.
Interesting. I gave up looking for wifi trail cams a long time (years) ago because I couldn't find any. Everything wireless at the time was cellular, and there is no service where I would use them. Turns out, my use case is exactly what these cameras provide for. I'd like to mount them remote, up high, out of reach of d-bags, and put them on solar. That way, I don't have to climb a tree to every cam I want to check, download, & reset. Good info about the multiple steps (including BT to activate the AP) and how slow they seem to be. Thanks for the great info!
Did you ever find a good solution for your situation? I ask because you describe a similar nearly exact situation as my own.. hopefully you did! If so, I would forever be in debt to ya if you’d be so kind to please share which one, it would help me out tremendously! I’m going crazy shopping and researching for the right camera. God bless!

You have confirmed my fears .... I want to have multiple cameras, and getting multiple sim cards is going to cost a fortune. The cameras can be damaged or stolen, so it makes no sense to save the video on themselves. I want something where the footage is safe online as soon as its recorded. What product should I get ?
Tactacam 3.0 cameras have a built in sim card, so the card can't be stolen. The video and pictures are sent to your phone. You pick the plan and price that you want to pay for.
@@johndeere2799 As most similar products, this is American only. I am not in America....
Thanks. You clarified what I suspected!
Thanks for watching 👍
Im still lost with my tactacams. They drain battery bad . I walk in front but no pics then i get a couple but not many. Figured all 4 are broke but its a wifi thing i guess 15$ a month per cam and nothing gets sent to me. I just don't get the technology explaining it or not
If your paying 15 bucks a month per camera, your not usuing a wifi trail camera your usuing a cellular trail camera which is even better. Not sure why your isint working but cellular is great because you can watch live from anywhere in the world. I would contact your provider, thats a lot of money to be spending if it doesnt work..👍🏼
@rickysnow7437 i just got voopeak tc24 cam. 2 of them . Reviews are great
And FYI a wifi trail camera (cost $$ nothing) its free, it allows your phone to connect to the trail cam via a built in wifi signal as long as your near the trail cam 50 to 100 ft or so. Thus saving you the time and headache of having to remove the SD card every time you want to look at pics/vids. That's all a wifi camera does, its free it let's you view without removing the card.......
A cellular trail cam which is what you said you have is even better, although ot does require you to pay a monthly or yearly charge for the cell data. But it works more like a cellphone whereas now you can view your pics or live video from anywhere. Your not required to be within feet of the camera, it transmits the data anywhere over 4g lte cell networks.. I hope that helps you understand a lil better. Good luck
@rickysnow7437 Thanks, Rick!! Yes it helped. The lady" customer service" said when the cam and phone link up it gets sent to phone .but if they lose connection it gets stored in the SD card.
On full battery's on a windy day were it doesn't get linked and sent to my phone a million pics are taken battery is at 60 percent before I know it. If I saw that first Pic on a windy day I could have turned it down or off . They need 5g cams now ?
If they start making actual wifi trail cameras i would definitely buy 3 or 4 and a wifi booster to use around the house and out to a couple hundred yards away.
Thank you very much for the very clear explanation. I now have a much better understanding about what I should spend my money on together with understanding what wifi trail and security cameras can and cannot do. Even a reputable and very helpful manufacturer didn’t explain this so clearly. 👍
I appreciate you watching and for the encouragement 👍
Great presentation, I'm 5-miles away from were i want trail camers set. how can I see what is going by the camers at home ?
Thanks for this great info. What would you recommend for a backyard wildlife cam? Thanks
I just got two moultries for Christmas thanks for explaining in plain speak. Sio from cherokee nation Oklahoma
Thanks for the info, been searching for a security system. Just a warning about security cameras I have been researching home security cameras for a couple of months now and I have not yet found any that have a motion detection range of more than 35ft. I have 20 acers and I want to cover my house, driveway and outbuildings. Don't be confused when the description has a PIR or an IR range of 65 ft or more that is just the range of the infrared or passive infrared light not the actual motion detection range, and the research is frustrating because about 99 % of the descriptions don't even mention the motion detection range. Now when you have a large area to cover it is no feasible to place a camera every 60ft so you can have that overlap to get full coverage at 35ft each way. This is why I have been looking for a trail cam for security because most of them have a longer motion detection range. If anyone has found any security cameras that will detect motion further than 50ft I would appreciate the info. Thanks
Very timely and informative for me. A few questions, can I enable and disable the camera using the WiFi? Can I delete photos and videos from the SD card using the AP? I want to install a camera at camp, and I’d like to disable the camera while we’re there, and arm it when we leave. What is a typical resolution for long battery life? I want a camera with 8 batteries and I may not be at camp for 3-5 months over winter.
That is why many of these 'trail' cameras are nonsensical scams; Just buy a wifi reolink (even solar-powered if so desired) outdoor cam and they DO connect to your 2.4 Wireless home AP, and they CAN be watched live via the reolink app *without* even having to use the internet, without having to pay for storage etc. We have about 5 different reolink cams, and they all work just fine over quite long distances from the wireless AP, even. Of course, the further away they are, the lower the speed, but you can then set the framerate really low, or set resolution or bitrate lower, whatever you prefer, and then they still work like a charm. The only thing you pay extra for is the silly camo look on those wildlife cams, but with some creativity you can paint and DIY your reolinks to look perfectly camouflaged in nature.
Thanks Mate👍🇦🇺🍺
Straight to the Point & no Bullshit! Well done & much Appreciated👌
I appreciate you watching 👍
how about a camera that uses the verizon or tmobile network?
My trail cam creates its own WFI signal, got it! Does it matter whether the camera is facing away from the mounting post or towards it? I’m getting great videos of the ants crawling up the post.
Great vid, I’ve been sucked in too, I was under the impression that I could just connect to my home WiFi , you can’t & it doesn’t say that it won’t. Best just using a ring camera!
I guess the photos and videos I get from 50 plus miles away are just a figment of my imagination!!! Been getting them for 4 years!!!
The reason to buy one of these cameras is so you don’t have to keep climbing up the tree
Thanks for clarifying.
Do the apps that connect to these cameras give real time alerts (motion detected). Granted to you close enough to the camera and connected? Or, are you forced to connect and look for captured video/pics?
Hi, thanks for the video. Are there any news on this in the last year? We gave up the search after scrolling through several pages on Amazon...
Great information Dave, nice mythbusting to set straight some poor advertising by these manufacturers. 👍
Thanks for watching Arielle. I appreciate it 👍
Do you have any updates on your request to manufacturers here?
I can’t get past msg: build communication w/camera faile! (It’s a Ceyomur CY95) Can you please explain what I’m doing wrong or what I should be doing? THANK YOU bc I greatly appreciate any help I can get.
The places where trail cams are usually used frequently don't have tower availability for wifi.
Thanks for explaining this type of WiFi connection. This is a very helpful video.
I actually bought a wifi trail camera but I knew that it could not connect to the house wifi but I do like the fact that you can look at your videos. I do not regret buying the camera as the quality of the pictures are not bad but i will say that I was miss lead too.
Hi Dave.. Tom here, Pahrump, NV. I'm 84 and enjoying wildlife and desert photography here in the So. NV desert. I'm pretty beat up, don't hunt except with my camera. I have great times with hawks and burrowing owls here and in my back yard, a small water tub sitting under a big mesquite tree. I have several hawks, cooper's, sharp-shinned and occasionally, a red tail that come and drink and sometimes bathe in the tub. I simply want a camera that will monitor that tub of water and let me know when one of these hawks come to drink or bathe. I have enjoyed your videos and especially this one which clearly explains the "wireless" quite clearly. My question is, what would you recommend for a water tub monitor that would link with my computer in a room not where my tripod and camera sit to video that location. I'm probably 60' for so from my camera, don't have line of sight. I've reviewed a lot of trail cameras and security stuff as well. I don't need lights, I don't need to talk to anyone, I don't need an alarm going off, I simply want to process my photos and keep an eye on my tub. Do you have a suggestion? I would certainly appreciate it.. Thank you..
Do you have any suggestions for a good cell phone trail camera
Thank you for the great information and explaining about the WIFI cameras and the ways they can and cannot be used. Have a BLESSED week
Thanks for watching Boxie. I appreciate it 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial I am so far behind on video's I love your reviews and Thursday trail camera. Have a BLESSED week
Thanks so much for this video! I appreciate your explanation about the WiFi trail cameras. Had no idea how they worked. I’m scratching them off my list! I’ve been searching for a trail cam just to track wildlife on my property. I’ve been debating about a cellular trail camera vs. a WiFi based camera. The cellular seems to be way beyond monthly fees I wish to pay? … the downside of WiFi based is the confined reach of my WiFi range?
yup I fell for it. We wanted to watch wildlife in the backyard and the best recommended wifi camera on amazon does not connect to our home wifi. In fact it has difficulty connecting to our phone app at 50ft. and we can see the camera line of sight. Returning it. So is there any trail cam that is able to connect to home wifi??
The Argus 3 Pro ruclips.net/video/BXRbsYrV9Ec/видео.htmlsi=2s9ZArxw9XsiTnYd would connect to your home’s WiFi and act much like a trail camera. It would detect motion (wildlife as they walk past) and begin recording. It’ll also send you a notification that there has been activity. There is NO monthly fees or extra costs because it connects to your home’s WiFi. The only thing this camera will not be able to do is take pictures. The camera takes videos instead of photos.
Thanks for this video. I am looking into this very thing. A trail cam with wifi. I need to act just like a cellular trail cam. So far, I haven't found one.
What trail camera setup would you recommend for home secuirty that can be viewed when I'm a long ways away. Thanks! 😊
If you have WiFi available at the spot you want to mount your camera, I’d suggest a Reolink wifi security camera
Thanks for explaining that blue tooth turns on the limited wifi in the camera. The manufacturers don't explain that in their ads.
They do however say that the so called wifi does not connect to wifi networks.
The problem seems to be the use of generic terms like "wifi" or "Bluetooth," for and an
in house communication system.
It's all down to cost ,power use and convenience. A full wifi security system on you farm could not be achieved with a hand full of cheap trail cams
I appreciate you watching 👍
Hell I can't even delete photos. And no one can tell me how. I dont want to do it one at a time. Is there select all????
Thanks for this, may as well get a security cam for my backyard. Border a bush so get lots of animal visits and was hoping a trail cam could connect to my WiFi. You saved me lots of grief.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 👍
I have successfully used the Campark T86 to capture shots of the critters (bears, bobcats, fishers, turkeys, foxes as well as deer) that visit my backyard from time to time. The bluetooth to turn on the camera's wifi to check positioning and transfer pics has worked really well for me. But I upgraded my samsung phone, and now the bluetooth won't connect, either with the old or the new Trail Camera Pro software. Perhaps the camera needs to have the pairing with my old phone undone, but I cannot figure out how to do this. Any suggestions?
Have you found a Trail or rather Security Wi-Fi camera that works at night and actually connects to your home Wi-Fi? I have a FEIT smart security flood light with camera in my carport that actually is connected to my home wi-fi. It catches foxes running around quite a bit but the flood light does come on. Is there a security camera with IR Flash?
I guess I'm not buying one! Thank you for the great explanation!
What trail cams was the videos from im this video
Thanks my friend, you cleared that up real quick. What was the name of the security that you recommended
Thanks for watching. I like Reolink cameras
So I imagine there are either SD or micro SD. Cards in these trail cams and one can just remove the card snd download the video & snd or photos on yo your computer to view at a later time. I understand the WiFi system most of these cameras have but glad you fine tuned the info for me to understand better. What is the best MP to get on a trail cam snd video quality. Would it be at least 24MP snd 4K or is 1080 video good enough ?
Thanks in advance for you answers.
Not sure how I missed this. Sorry. The mp listing can be very misleading as well. Some manufacturers grossly inflate their numbers. I recommend a minimum of 1080p for video
Any manufacturer can easily implement this, as a matter a fact many Wi-Fi IOT devices already have this and I agree, this functionality would serve a very broad audience and various use cases. On the other hand, trail cams are typically meant to be used in remote areas where there is no home Wi-Fi to begin with. The 4G offering which enables remote viewing is an excellent solution in such case however here, once again people are forced to use (and pay for) the data plan that comes with the SIM card built in by the manufacturer (no free choice).
i figured this out the other day while looking for a trail camera that would connect to a wifi network. Now I am looking for a wifi outdoor security camera.
The camera I just received connects to my phone via WiFi.. So its fine for viewing my property here in the forest.. BUT..... I need a camera that I can put on trees on my mining claims. Then go pick up and put SD card in computer. Which trail cam would be best for this? Thank you
Not sure what models you got but I’m suspicious they will do what you’re describing. If you’re looking for a non WiFi camera that’s inexpensive and does well for me, I still really like the Gardepro E5 or E5S ruclips.net/video/k-joTPqzEZE/видео.htmlsi=tYxUeuQ0QWHg1Mu_
This was super helpful and explained why app connected while Inwas outside, but not in the house. I was too far away. Last night we did find where our dog caught a possum. To see this we had tomtake the card out to read.
I appreciate you watching. 👍
Good info, Dave! Thanks for clarifying. I agree that the Wi-Fi option is very helpful during setup and yet a very lengthly process to transfer footage to your cellphone.
Thanks for watching Matt. I appreciate it 👍
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the new video! I do own a Wi-Fi camera that is more of a security camera sold from Costco under the brand WYZE. I have another question now: will the AVI file type this camera uses for videos be readable on a Mac? I’ve been unhappy with the fact that SDXC and Micro SD cards aren’t readable on my Mac. I believe I will have to buy some kind of adapter. However, will the file types be readable?
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I don’t have (or ever used) a MAC so I can’t recommend any advice
Thanks for the warning! Luckily we’ve never considered one of those as our Wi-Fi is so bad where we are! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 👍
How old is this vid they have had cellular trail cams for a few years but you need to pay a monthly payment but you have access whenever you want.
They seem very impractical and not worth the time or price. Very good to know Dave! Thank you!
I appreciate you watching 👍
They are for reducing scent left in vicinity of your cameras.
Blaze said you can push images from the camera to the phone. I'm not expecting real time like security systems.
My Garde pro app will not connect with my cam no matter what I do even when there side by side and receiving it’s WiFi signal.
My camera isn't capturing pics if not in the area with my phone yet deer tracks are all around it. Anyone know why? Mine has to be in range of app on my phone to capture anything. Useless.
How's she goin'? Thanks for pointing out this possible problem when purchasing a tail cam. Good info to know. I hope the manufactures are listening. A true WiFi camera would be pretty nice eh!! Take care!!
I appreciate you watching Mike 👍
It is absolutely stupid since it doesn’t require any hardware changes, it is simply a different software load. I have wanted one that operates like you described and I am a RF engineer that works in cellular and Wi-Fi networking. Bluetooth only operates with reduced power so you have to be nearby to use Bluetooth. I am actively trying to get a manufacturer to allow be to modify one of their hardware designs to build the software needed. It is very frustrating that nobody offered this mode.
Can any body just walk up to the trail cam and connect to it's signal if they had the same app? And would I have to walk over to it anytime I wanted to check if there was activity? I want to use it to keep an eye on my boat at the dock in my community.
@@rebeccadietrich8925 no, the camera is password protected. Only you will be able to access the camera via the app
Maybe you can do a video on the instructions that come with many cameras made by in Chyna. I bought one that I cannot setup as the instructions are an English translation, apparently not written by a native English speaker. Plus the instructions are totally inadequate. The manufacturer does not even have more detailed on their website as I asked and was directed to YT. The videos there last from 30 45 seconds which is completely inadequate to setup a camera with solar, Bluetooth, and many features.
Top job hope your weekend has been good and family are all doing well top job asallways keep sage your brother tezza
I appreciate you watching 👍
Can you recommend a basic cam my son can use in the valley by our house to watch animals at night? Something that won't die fast lol thanks
This is a great performing camera at a reasonable price ruclips.net/video/J7DWYSPnhl8/видео.html
Outdoor wifi cameras are not always so effective as the wifi signal deprecates quickly if you don't use dedicated outdoor antennas. About the wifi AP mode of those cameras, the range is not a big deal as this could cause a huge battery draining just to broadcast the SSID, and if you need to click a button to enable wifi, you are already close to it. Let the battery work for the motion sensor and camera recording! For live video, there are other options more suitable, seamlessly working as wifi clients and over cellular networking with solar panels.
Thanks for explaining about the WiFi feature or lack of it on my hunting camera, I was beginning to think I had bought a dud but after your very clear explanation I now fully understand the caperbilities of my camera, Many thanks😊
I appreciate you watching 👍
I should have watched your video before I purchased a Wi-Fi Trail camera from Amazon. In my case I was installing a trail camera in the crawlspace under my house hoping to capture any critters that might be there. The Wi-Fi Trail camera I purchased from Amazon does provide me the ability to connect and download photos without entering the crawlspace, which is good, however, since this is a vacation home, I would very much like to access the camera and its photos, remotely geographically… As you are well aware that is not possible. In the year since you released this videoare you aware of any Wi-Fi Trail cameras that do connect to a home Wi-Fi?
There are “security” type cameras that will connect to your home’s WiFi. They will also detect motion and begin recording and you can view the recordings via the app 👍
Here is one I have used ruclips.net/video/BXRbsYrV9Ec/видео.htmlsi=FpFuPPpYb78x2hR0
Dear Hunting Farmer, Thanks for that important information. I should have subscribed! Too late. Ordered and unable to cancel. I will follow further posts!
Thank you this helped me understand my camera, I was getting so frustrated. I appreciate you❤
wish i had seen this before :-( mine is now going back. not doing what i thought it would. My fault for not checking before purchase.
I appreciate you watching. 👍
Thank you. I just started looking for one, so your movie will save me a lot of time! :) Although it's November now, 8 months on, maybe one of the manufacturers took the hint.
I made this assumption and bought 2 trail cams and thought I could connect to my property wide WiFi. Time for security cams.
and then there's people who don't even understand the difference between cellular and wifi, which seems crazy. i always read comments on videos of people having thought a wifi cam was a cellular.
That is a very common misconception!
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 👍
Great video, and yikes - this is very misleading how they advertising this. It's technically not wrong - it does use near-range bluetooth to negotiate the wifi connection, then uses its (onboard) wifi to broadcast the image/video data at a higher speed (like you said) that the phone app can connect to (and in my case, it doesn't so transparently, handling the wifi connection seamlessly). But yes, most consumers are going to assume "anywhere in the world remote wifi", not range-limited to whatever the buetooth can do to negotiate that connection (and so each and every time you need to view those images). But as "trail cameras" they do tend to in more outdoor-proof cases, whereas (to me) most security cameras are not outdoor all-weather proof (weather seals and UV protection and such). But the sad thing is, this is just a software issue. Or at least, an intermediate device could be made available to bridge their wifi emission over to the general WWW. It's just a little more effort on the app development - and it would be great if the vendors provided an accessory to enable that option on all these existing cameras that is out there (the app might also be required if the camera is using a proprietary codex for the video itself). Anyhow, great video -- but it might be easier to explain that despite using a wifi protocol, you are still bluetooth-range limited due to that being required to negotiate the wifi settings (or it's LAN-limited, but that would make sense to most consumers).
I think I have 1 wi-fi camera. I have never used the wifi though. Thanks for the info Dave!
I appreciate you watching. Have a great day Paul 👍
Basically very similar to how dash cams work. Thanks.
But as you said, home security cameras even outdoors can connect to the home wifi network.
I appreciate you watching. 👍
I love my wifi solar cameras. I never have to get within 30 yards of my camera,sometimes i can do everything from further away. No more having to change batteries or swap sd cards.
Is there a WiFi trail camera you do recommend? I would like to see a review on the ones you have tested
Thanks for watching. I don’t test many WiFi only cameras but I like this one (and still use it) ruclips.net/video/BXRbsYrV9Ec/видео.html
