    These are not the rechargeable ones by the way, I think those are the Arlo Pro.  You need 4 batteries per camera and the batteries are not that cheap.  You might get 6 months usage out of the cameras in the best of circumstances before you need to swap out the batteries again.

    You also need an internet connection to run these as there is no local storage of imaging.  If your internet connection goes down, so does the cameras.

    I was looking at this also. Extra 15% off if you buy another smart home item e.g the pack of skins for the cameras for 12 pound would bring the total for the 2 down to about 265 pounds.

    You can buy Tenergy rechargable CR123 3.7 volt batteries for these cameras. I believe there is also 1Gb cloud storage which is equivalent of 7 days of recordings free then the oldest recordings are overwritten. Works with Alexa and Ifttt if you want to automate arming disarming etc.

    I had these cameras at Christmas and found the picture quality at night very poor so returned them to Amazon.

    Was that with garden lighting or with no lighting? Just wondering would solar lights help the night vision if the garden was not as dark?

    I have to disagree here. I have them set up indoors and out and the night vision is incredible.

    I have them since September and the battery levels are still +80%

    It was with very good security lighting and the picture was not good enough to ID anyone. I showed it off to people over Christmas and that was the comment and they were right. Disappointing as I got a great deal on them in amazon warehouse.
