That depends on if you are hard-wired or not and how strong your Wifi signal is in the coop.
I am hard-wired and my signal is decent. I use Wyze cams.

Thanks, I would prefer wireless, because it will be in a mobile coop.

We have the Arlo Pro 2. We really like it, but it does not work when below -5° F. That’s not very often, so it doesn’t bother us. It’s WiFi, runs on battery.

I would need it to work at least -30, it frequently gets that cold and colder here.

How long do the batteries usually last?

I’m not techy, but my husband plugged in a camera in the coop and I can say, “Alexa, show me Blink,” to see my chickens on the Amazon Echo in the house. It works for us. Temps only fall to slightly below zero Fahrenheit here.

I’d like something that would record when it sensed motion though. I really want to know who is laying which eggs without watching Blink all day. Do these other cameras do that?

Wyze has a motion activated camera with onboard recording capability. I have one in my coop and I use one in my incubator.

I use the ring stick up cam, I can’t speak on that cold of weather but it’s gotten to around 10 and it has been fine. Here is a quick picture of the image quality

Thanks! I’ll add that to my wishlist then!
