Best battery-powered Wi-Fi security camera in 2024
There are many quality models available to help keep your home safe without the wire
Smart home surveillance is one of the best things to come out of the connectivity frenzy of the last several years. With everything from indoor/outdoor cams to motion and temperature sensors landing in homes, every square inch of your property can be locked down, and you usually only have to worry about a Wi-Fi connection. And where low-voltage wiring was once a chief consideration for these many peripherals, more and more product developers are now outfitting these security gadgets with rechargeable batteries.

Nooie Pro Cam review: Looks great, but annoying to use
A solid camera meets a subpar app experience and a pretty high price tag
There are a lot of great security cameras out there, and the Nooie Pro Cam is decent if all you need is a powerful 2K camera for day and night that you can check in on from time to time. While its battery life is formidable, the camera's in-app experience is subpar at best. The lag you'll experience when accessing your camera or adjusting its settings will be enough to dissuade you from using it much. And that defeats the point of a security camera, doesn't it?

If you’ve been “surveilling” all the Black Friday deals in tech and smart home then you may already be aware that Reolink has just lowered the price of its Argus PT 2K, the solar-powered edition of its outdoor security camera line. The Argus offers many of the same features of its counterparts but does so without the entanglement of a single wire entering your home. Your house, it could be said, will be overseen by the sun, as it maintains a constant vigil overhead, charging your device before it settles in for the night. The solar panel, connected to the camera by a four-meter cable, can withstand extreme weather conditions, including sun, wind, rain, and snow, as can the camera itself, in a case that is both stylish and solidly built.

Wyze is ending support for an iconic smart home security camera
One of the most affordable Ring and Nest competitors leaves a lasting legacy
The market for smart home security cameras is still growing by leaps and bounds. But it wasn’t all that long ago that there were just a few to choose from, and one, in particular, managed to stand out with a fantastically affordable price tag: the original Wyze Cam, released all the way back in 2017. If the Wyze Cam v1 has been your go-to for spotting trespassers, burglars, or identifying a neighbor letting their dog do its business in your yard, it might be time to upgrade, as Wyze shares word that it's about to stop supporting the camera.

The Arlo Pro 4 Camera packs hub-less Wi-Fi connectivity and 6-month battery life
And the Arlo Ultra 2 is now widely available
Arlo's cameras are among the better options when it comes to home security. While the company's products are expensive, they offer a great feature set, even if you'll probably have to pay for Arlo's Smart subscription to unlock the full potential. Past models have always needed an additional hub to connect to Wi-Fi, but recent additions to the lineup have forgone that requirement for direct Wi-Fi connectivity. The same is true for the Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight the company has just announced, making the Pro Spotlight series finally independent from hubs. Like its predecessor, the Pro 4 starts at $200.
