Wireless Video Cam ?

We just put in 4 wireless cameras made by Lorex that we purchased at BJ's that comes with a 1 TB HDD for $499. By wireless, I mean WiFi, but they still had to be powered by electricity. I can access live feed from my phone while we are away. The only downside is that the app is very limited as it's a bit outdated. The newer app worked for a while, but provided a number of false motion detections to the point I had to turn it off. According to their tech support, they are developing a newer one that is more ideal for mobile phones but until then we're stuck with the older more limited app. Had we known this, we likely would have gone another route. All that said, this works fine for us and, although I think going with a nestcam may have been better, we saved quite a bit of money with this option. Primary purpose was to monitor and record activity outside but also check live feed inside during winter months to monitor for any unusual water etc... My husband did the electrical wiring and I did the wireless configuration which was very easy.
Hope this helps.
