I'm looking to get a couple of indoor cameras for our home so we can do some periodic monitoring while away. This is mainly just to keep an eye on our pets when we're gone for extended periods of time and just have people coming over to take care of them every other day or so.
I know in general what I'm looking for but know pretty much nothing about this space so have no idea if what I'd like to have is pretty basic, non-existent, cheap, expensive, etc.
Here's what I'd like to have:
1) Wireless - (Wired may be ok as well)
2) Wifi enabled for streaming video
3) iOS app for viewing (or web based)
4) Some level of recording capability
5) Resolution/Color - I'd like color but would also like to hear your pros/cons on paying for higher resolution based on the primary reason I've provided.
Appreciate any insight you might have. If anyone else has done something like this recently and has any advice based on personal experience I'd definitely appreciate that.
