[QUOTE="kingfish, post: 4189488, member: 50496"] There are many systems like you describe on Amazon. I currently have 3 systems on my property. A 4 camera system on my house, a 4 camera system inside my shop, and a 6 camera system in various other places. They are all wireless. The first two 4 cam systems send video directly to a dedicated receiver/DVR. You can put a monitor and mouse on the DVR to view recorded video. If you want to view your system via your phone or other mobile device you have to install an app and create an account to remote view your cams. They do not require any subscription or ongoing fees. Nor do they require anything to do with Google, Alexa, or any third party of any kind. One thing you need to know. You cannot use indoor cameras looking outward through windows at night. When they switch to IR for night use you will get nothing but a glare off the glass and see nothing outside. The 6 camera system are direct IP cameras that do not connect to a DVR. I use the app that the vendor says to use to view the cameras with my phone or tablet. It does have a record feature but is a little more clumsy to use. This systems uses pan and tilt cams so I can scan about the property to check areas to watch wildlife or sunsets/rises or whatever else amuses me. You can continue to add as many cameras as I want to this system until you overload the bandwidth of your router. These cameras can also be used via wifi or ethernet cable. [/QUOTE]
