My first post, so bear with me. I am not sure if this is the right place or not.
I have a cottage where there is no internet access, and no cell phone coverage. Local police are about an hour away. It has been robbed a couple of times, so our solution is to not keep anything valuable there. However, it is getting harder to bring things back and forth all the time.
Given the circumstance, I am looking for a system with the following qualities:
- local video storage - no internet access, so I can't use cloud
- motion activated - I will sometimes not go out to the cottage for a month at a time. This means that if it is constantly recording it would quickly run out of space.
- Inconspicuous - Would prefer that the cameras not be easily noticeable
- Wireless communication - In the event that a camera is found, it would be trivial to follow the cabling back to the recording unit and destroy it. However, if it communicates wirelessly, then this is more difficult
- Must restart in the event of power failure - cottage has "spotty" electrical service. It is inevitable that the power will go out. I don't need it to work with the power out, but I do need it to restart on its own when the power comes back on.
- Easy way to check videos/delete without accessing storage - I may want to hide the storage device within the wall or something which would make it difficult to pull out and check.
- Powered cameras - Like I said, I will be away for up to a month, so having them on battery power won't be ideal unless the batteries last longer than that.
I've looked at the Vacation packages and they focus on completely wireless, cloud storage, so I am not sure that is a good fit. If you know of a product that meets this profile, I would be very interested.
Thanks!!

Trenin,
The Arlo minimum requirements are as follows: What are the minimum requirements for installing and using my Arlo system?
While Arlo meets most of the requirements you mention, without a working internet connection the Arlo system will not function.
I hope this helps.

Thanks! I didn't see any products without an internet connection so assumed this might be the case. Thanks for the confirmation!
I will keep looking elsewhere.
