I know this topic gets beaten, but I only need two cameras I can setup while on vacation...I plan to upgrade later, if needed.

Doesn't need to be the best, but something I can view on my android device via wifi.

Will be for outside and a battery powered unit is fine if that's what I need to use.

I could also set them up inside and view through the window.

I'm happy with my Netgear Arlo Q.  They make different models in the Arlo line.  Some are battery powered, some you plug into the wall.  They have 2 and 4 cam kits at Best Buy.

I have an iPhone but I don't see why the Android app would be any different.  I check mine multiple times a day to check in on my dog.  It's always quick to load and the quality is good.

Wifi cameras are a bad idea.  Any decent robber can disrupt the signal easily rendering them worthless.

Spend the time and go with wired cameras that can not be rendered useless with a signal disruptor.  If you are set on wifi cameras add a fake wire to confuse an intruder.

Thanks....

I figured they could be tampered with, but I read up on it last night and was surprised how easily it can be done.

Very happy with my arlo pro cameras.

Wired cams get much better quality, you won't be reading plate numbers with the arlo, but if you are set on wireless the arlo pro are great.
