[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1848095, member: 38864"] I'm slowly in the process of adding outdoor home security here, so I'm somewhat up to speed on some options. I've gotten started with the Eufy security line in part because a cloud subscription is not required. Your footage is stored on a Homebase kept in your own home that you can review from an app on your iPhone/iPad. You can also review it from a web browser, but it requires Flash, which is a big negative and truthfully it baffles me that they don't have a better option. The company is part of Anker, and being a fan of their swag, I put a lot of faith in their products. For indoor cameras like what you are looking at, they have one available for pre-order.
