Looking to add some outdoor cameras to my home. Ideally, I'd like a cost-effective system that's easy to maintain (so no replacing/charging batteries in the cameras), works at night (either IR or spotlights, though IR is preferred as I frequently use a telescope in my backyard), and doesn't rely on cloud subscriptions services (so the data is recorded and stored in-house). One of the most popular devices I've found is the "Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera", which can be upgraded with a home base station and solar panel/charger wire for continuous power. It does have a spotlight instead of IR LEDs, but from my limited research the benefits seem to drastically outweigh the drawbacks. Does anyone have any good/bad experiences with this particular system? Is there something else I should be looking for when looking at products? Also, I'm not particularly set on this brand/camera so any other recommendations would be appreciated.
Thank you for looking!
