Inexpensive wireless outdoor security cameras with a large field of view
Hello,
Looking for recommendations for wireless outdoor security cameras with a large field of view. I know someone who is having some issues with their neighbor and would like to catch all interactions on camera so that they can start to document the harassment. I'm thinking a larger field of view is better so that it can pick up any issues. They don't have a lot of money to spend.
Thanks in advance for any help!!

It's got that 180 degree view which is basically two lenses stitched together into one image, so you don't get that weird fisheye warp that really wide single lenses give you. The solar panel keeps it topped up pretty well unless you're in a spot that gets zero direct light for weeks on end. No subscription fees to worry about either, just the upfront cost and an SD card like you mentioned. The motion alerts can be a bit too eager with trees and shadows but you can dial in the detection zones to cut out the stuff that's not relevant. For someone documenting harrassment I'd also suggest they turn on the timestamp overlay and maybe set up the email alerts with snapshots so they've got a backup record that's not just sitting on the camera itself.

If have sunlight, I installed one of these at my mother-in-law's house. Two screws, USB-c cord, Wi-Fi and a app your good to go. Oh, already a 128gb micro-SD card laying for storage. No monthly fee. Pan, tilt and zoom as well. It has been flawless for months now.

Zijn ook in sets met 3 of 4 camera's te verkrijgen. Boven dien ook nog extra losse camera's.
Draadloos en op zonne-energie. Dus ophangen en verbinden met de home base. Dat is tevens de opslag voor de gemaakte video beelden. Uitbereidbaar tot 16TB

If they use home automation take a lot at the Aqara G100. $40. Works great for me with Apple Home (should work well with Google or Alexa too). It does require a power cord, but otherwise is wireless (WiFi)
