    Hi hiya, I've been putting off getting a camera/security system for myself, mainly because I'm overwhelmed by all the options available… Amazon??? . I'd like a system that allows me to see on my phone what's going on inside the house even when I'm away, like if I'm five miles away at the grocery store.

    While my wife is mostly sedentary, she can also be unpredictable at times. Being able to monitor her while I'm out would give me peace of mind and let me know if I need to rush back home.

    we use Arlo cameras we bought on Amazon. They are wireless, and I can monitor on my phone. You can also talk through them if needed. They have a base station near your wireless and the set up was very easy,

    I use Wyze. I have found it very easy to set up and use.

    I use YI. Works well, easy setup, and has the option of storing at KamiCloud. I bought a 4-set. Not expensive. It was recommended by someone in this discussion group. Good luck
