Hello guys, I have a question regarding wireless security cams, even though the information
that I received from some of you on here about a week ago was helpful it still didn't answer
my question so here it goes, I'm looking for a
wireless security system with 1 to 2 cams that
will record while I'm away. Motion activated would
be great but not  necessary. I would like to be able
to view the activity when I return home from work if
Necessary. The information some of you gave me last
time was great, but it was for all real time viewing, that
Fortunately doesn't work for me.  So was there anything
in the wireless department  that is motion activated  with
a memory card of some sort?

Arlo is what you seek. Motion activated. Files saved to the cloud viewable from smart phone or computer. Instant notification of activity with option to live view if desired.

He doesn't want real time viewing and he wants a networkless camera (AKA SD card)

been using foscam wifi cameras for 2 years now. 4 cameras.

connected to a dedicated PC running BLUE IRIS recording software. cameras will do motion detection so i don;t record 24x7 only when they are triggered. The PC stores the videos locally and they are also sync'd to my google drive at the same time. i can do realtime viewing from anywhere on any device as well as stream recorded events.

system works great.

they have several models that have built in SD capable dvr on board the camera itself.

You can do everything you want with inexpensive IP cams (some are only $30) and open source software like iSpy.  Or you can use the same inexpensive IP cams and a cloud recording system like cameraftp or camcloud.

How about a Costco system...Lorex or other.
$500-$700 and comes with 8 cameras and about a 1T hard drive.
I use one and it records motion only...I have it also plugged into a monitor...1) to playback and 2) live view if needed.

so far? caught my daughters friends TP'ing the house and moths...lots of moths....

All that you seek can be found in this ARFCOM section...

Safes & Home Security

Start by reading the various "How To" threads in that section on cameras and security systems. Much is answered in that forum.

Edit to add: Unless one absolutely needs wireless I'd go with wired and if money supports it PoE cameras and NVR's. That said I setup a Amcrest 720p HDCVI DVR 4channel/4camera kit for a family member recently and it works fine. Can access the DVR remotely and view live video and download recorded video if needed. They paid $320 for the kit through Amazon. We get notified via email with motion alerts which contain an image snapshot from the camera.
