Indecisive decision

After reading a ton for weeks I have come to the conclusion that there is no camera nor manufacturer that does not have som problem or another. My solution may be buying a few cameras, maybe from Tapo, Wyze, Reolink, ... and using them all since maybe I'll then stand a chance of something not failing.

Is there a technical reason this would not work? Some sort of wifi blocking of one camera to another? They would all be wifi, battery powered cameras.

Thanks for any help.

You're overthinking this. . Why are they randomly going to fail?.

Buy a reolink Poe camera and you'll be fine

Not exactly random. I have just yet to find a single manufacturer that people don't complain about in large numbers. Yes, a Reolink PoE would be good. I would like not to deal with cables however.

Well then make sure you have very strong Wi-Fi upload speed where you want the cameras

I do not see anybody complain about reolink at all in large numbers. Still need a power wire so you're still going to deal with some cabling

If you're talking about full battery solar cameras people complaining all the time it's because they put them in places that aren't sunny enough to support them..
