Built for Canadian winters and long dark evenings.
Link coming soonStart with where it goes
Indoor and outdoor cameras have different requirements, and Canadian winters rule out a lot of hardware.
Indoor
Local microSD recording avoids a monthly fee. Two-way audio is more useful than higher resolution.
Outdoor
Look for an IP65 rating or better, and check the stated operating temperature. Many battery cameras lose most of their runtime below -15C.
Subscriptions
Cloud storage plans add up. Cameras that record locally are usually the better long-term buy.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need 4K?
No. 2K is enough to identify faces at typical doorway distances.
Will a battery camera survive a Canadian winter?
Only if it is rated for it, and expect to recharge more often.
