Chicken Coop Camera- recommdations needed please!

[fancywyandottes23]

The wyze cam V3 (is outdoor rated) has been doing good for me. If you don't use an SD card, it cost for cloud viewing previous footage (motion etc) in the app. It's like $2 a month

We use one of these for our home security cameras. It doesn't require any subscription and as long as its under cover (out of precipitation) it should hold up fine. It has for us. You do have to have A/C power though.

you would have to take the card out and put it into a card reader on your computer or tablet

Yeah- bummer right? Does anyone know if the Wyze Cam V3 need a subscription service?

@DobieLover highly recommends the Wyze cams, that's what she has in her in coop brooder, run, and coop I believe. The pics I've seen are great!

You don't. It limits video clips to 12 seconds but for my purposes that's fine.

I have Wyze Outdoor cams in my coop and run area. No power required and they hold a charge for a few months at a time. I can view chicken shenanigans anytime through the app, and a subscription is only needed if I want to record and store to the cloud. I'm not too concerned with recording so haven't bothered with a subscription.
The only downside I've found for these is that they need to be fairly close to the base station and the base station needs a good connection; as a result I have a lot of electronics perched in the loft of my chicken barn!

You can view cloud footage and SD card playback footage from the smartphone app. You don't have to go retrieve it or anything. The paid cloud storage just enables you to playback from the cloud with no SD card. The paid cloud is also per camera, so if you have 10 cameras etc, it's roughly $2 each.

I couldn't live without my coop cam- sometimes I put it on in the background to hear their sweet chirps and quarrels while at work

it is white noise- I will check out the wyze further and nest and ring cams
