Security at Home advice

[TallTrees]

Hello ~

I would be very grateful for advice if possible.

I want a security camera fitted to the outside overlooking garage/drive,  it can be wired and mounted to a wall 

overlooking this area. Power and fitting would be no problem.  I have been looking Argos, Screwfix, Toolstation, Amazon.  It is a confusing bunch of "stuff"  ~ I would like an alert to my mobile and not being a super techy something that is quite easy to set up, having read occasional nightmare senarios on the feedback pages about not connecting to apps etc.

I have a Microsoft Lumia 640 ~ purchased 2016 (on PayMonthly O2) so would need to be able to connect to this type of mobile phone.  

I have WiFi at home.  I have a computer too.

one camera to start perhaps expanding if I can techy that!   ~  but not essential.

Not costing an arm and leg but quality is important I know.

Thank you from TallTrees

I use the Netgear Arlo system;

For a single camera I would take a look at the ArloQ camera. It needs a USB power feed but after that it connects by WiFi.

The Arlo wire free system works off batteries and connects wirelessly to an Arlo basestation. I've also got some of these where a power supply was not possible.

There have been some software issues lately but they seem to be fixed, touch wood!

(PS all cameras have night vision)

(not the cheapest though )
