My cameras can be set to make a notification to my phone. The phone beeps and I know the camera picked up motion or sound depending on how it is set.
I am so glad I don't have raccoons. They are much too smart. I battle skunks, fox, and a cougar goes by every couple years or so.
Wyze just started selling a battery operated wifi outdoor camera. It runs about $50 for the camera and base station. The base station can have up to 4 cameras attached to it.
I love my Wyze cameras. Have been using them for nearly 2 years. The new camera is the first outdoor rated camera...
