The apps are also easy to setup with most using a WPS button for easy installation.
Do you know any peephole cameras that would manually record after motion is detected, also would be wire free and without doorbell button ? Coz I’m looking for one and all I found just nothing special peephole viewers 🙁
Some company needs to make one that goes inside the door. I wont get any of these because of how easy someone could take it.
