We want to get one or two outdoor cameras for the family home in the village. At times of the year electricity is not reliable so it needs to be wireless and hopefully with a battery that lasts (at least) a year. We just want the type that you connect to the app and you can check from wherever you are. I would really appreciate if someone have any recommendations that have work for them or anyone they know (hopefully not too expensive). Thank you so much in advance.

I have recently bought the Ring one from argos for about £70. It’s battery operated and wireless. Very impressed with how easy it was to set up. I’ve only had it a month so I’m not sure on the battery usage but you can adjust the settings to prolong it eg how often it responds to motion. You pay a small monthly charge after the first month for cloud storage but I don’t think you have to if you just want to check it live. The picture is really clear and I chose that one over another because reviewers had said the night images were clearer.

Thank you. I forgot to say that we have completely ruled out paying for cloud storage or any kind of monthly subscription. A friend of mine has ring at the door of her house, she is happy with the camera but she told me it wouldn't be useful for me as the lifespan of the batteries is short.
