Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question so please don’t flame me.

Looking to replace my set of Arlo 2 Pro cameras that have been dying one by one. I’ve been using them to put in locations where i set up mouse traps to verify mouse activity and set the traps up accordingly. The Arlo 2’s are connected to a base station and i get free 7 days worth of storage in the “cloud”.

They are located in areas where I dont have any ethernet run to such as the deck, shed, attic, etc, but are still connected to my wifi and base station. I move them regularly based on the mouse activity that i suspect and see.

I first looked into wyze v3 but then i noticed that there is no built in battery pack. and I don’t want anything that requires a subscription if i can avoid it.

I guess i’m looking for something equivalent that has decent, or at least minimal battery life (7 days?) that can get activated when there’s motion, and then send me notification and i can check out the recording? I’d prefer not to have to go and retrieve the SD card and put it in my computer as my attic is a real pain to get around in. I do two POE security cameras connected to blueiris and i could temporarily run long ethernet cables but i feel like there has to be a better solution out there.

    You may be overthinking the problem.

    Mice show up anywhere there is protection or food. Close up gaps and buy a wifi mouse trap.

    If you haven’t sealed the area up it’s almost not worth trapping them.

    Mice leave poop behind everywhere they hang out.
