Coop camera

[Squawkers]

I use Arlo. Wireless,connects good. Bit slow loading but allows us to peak in see who's being good or not.

Thanks! I’ll look into it.

Arlo cameras require a plug and subscription to enable CVR (continuous video recording).

@Squawkers what camera did you end up getting (if you did get one, do you like it)?

I am in nearly your exact circumstances - need something that connects to my phone, cheap(er), and battery powered (or at least battery back-up if the electricity fails). I don't really need it to record, just want to be able to see the hens in real time.

Thanks!

I have not gotten anything yet. This thread was mostly for future planning (I was planning on getting one in the next few months) the fact that you don’t want it to record full time gives you a lot more options though!! Sorry I’m not any help

I think I had decided on this one. I think I’m going to have to give up full time recording because it’s just too hard to find in a battery powered one. Although looking at it now, it must have been on sale when I was looking at it earlier because it was NOT that much!

I know @Logar said in this thread that he was also looking for a camera like the one I was. Maybe he has gotten one by now.

It’s fine, thanks!

Ok, I’ll look into it! I need it in a month so I have to make a decision quickly!

I’m looking back through the suggestions of this thread, I think the Ring camera that my three chicks suggested is probably best.
