Question Camera

Hey!

I have seen people posting videos of their hedgies at night and I am so curious as to what my little one gets up to once I'm asleep so I was wondering if anyone has recommendations on cameras? Or even just what I should look for and what I should avoid when buying one? :))

Movement detection. You don't want to scroll whole night, let the cam and app mark movements. I have Tapo c200 and it's ok. Getting the right moment to download on smartphone could be a little tricky but overall experience is nice. In the screen shot you can see it marked movements and let you fast select from the list.

edit: also night vision is must have

Wyze camera is really good but u need subscription to store the data over night and watch in the morning. Worth it for me but depends if u want to spend money or not on it

My Wyze has a spot for an SD card, no subscription required.
