Newbie question which system to get

Falcon123 — Fri, 26 May 2017 19:05:04 GMT

Hello. Would someone be able to kindly direct my into which system may be best for my needs. Thanks.

Desired needs:

The purpose mainly would be to monitor my own house to make sure my older teenagers friends don't come over for a "teenage gathering" when we are away or at work.

At leat one camera outside. 3 inside camera. I will be getting a Samsung Smart Things Hub
I can connect them to power if need be. But how good is the wireless? About how long will the batter last.
I would like to view a live stream on demand when I am away on my Android phone. Wife has iPhone.
I would like ease of use and do not want to become a techie to set up and maintain.
Does video get recorded locally or in the cloud?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

1) ok, Outside I would recommend the Pro camera ( battery or AC, AC FOR OUTDOORS NOT RELEASED YET), Inside the Q camera( ac , indoor only )

2) Pro can be ac or battery pack, Q is AC only/indoors.. wireless range is base on the walls/ material the signal goes thru... Battery on Pro is good imo for 3 months+ spec useage

3) there are apps fo android and ios, also PC via browser

4) not overly hard but a bit of learnig curve to learn Modes ( custom create of same ) ... read FAQs for most answers

5) All video on both go to cloud, the Pro has a usd drive backup but not directly accesable ( drive must be ejected and played in another device for mp4 files )
