    I'm going to be in the US for a week at the start of Nov & would like to get a few cameras to keep an eye on the outside of the house. Already have a ST hub & a Google Home. Thinking that the Arlo wireless ones would be my best bet to avoid having to run cables & drill holes in walls but just wondering if there's anything else I should be looking at?

    Thanks!

    Options worth looking at:

    - Nest Outdoor camera
    - Logitech Circle 2 cameras

    Though they require power, but then there are some advantages to having power over battery if you can.

    Yi Outdoor Camera is another cheaper option, doesn't with GH or ST, but then I don't find that you really need those for basic security. The phone app is the most important things, GH support is an added bonus.

    But yes, Arlo Pro 2 are pretty decent too. They just have some downsides being battery powered.

    Worth looking at Blink XT cameras too. Fully battery powered so no wires & batteries last 2 years before changing. Amazon company though do no Google integration.
