Yes! Nestcam (previously known as Dropcam) work excellent! Extremely user friendly and very reliable. I have two that use at my place on Welch year round. All you need is an internet connection and a plug outlet.

Default Arlo

I have 4 Arlo Cameras made by Netgear. They are totally wireless meaning battery powered so you can put them anywhere. The batteries last about 4 months so it's not too much of a PITA. Free storage of any videos captured for 7 days. You can pay for more.

I have NestCams also. They are great and very easy to setup. Less than 5 minutes.

Try D-link cams....I have four wireless and they work great. One is also trained on my oil tank gage under the house in crawlspace with total darkness. It has night vision and I can always check my heating oil level no matter where I am.These cams are very inexpensive. Just need a plug for electricity. I can even take pictures with them and send them to others via the internet.

yes, I have Arlo, it is not only wireless, also weatherproof. You need internet connection, base station needs outlet, cameras work of 4 batteries. I have two mounted outside and one inside to monitor home when not there.

Another fan of Nest cam !!

Simple set up, mobile App, motion/sound alerts to your device, night vision, and indoor/outdoor versions, 7 or 30 Day recording (for a fee) all that for $200 complete/per cam

Default Depends on what you mean by wireless, I think!

We just put in 4 wireless cameras made by Lorex that we purchased at BJ's that comes with a 1 TB HDD for $499. By wireless, I mean WiFi, but they still had to be powered by electricity. I can access live feed from my phone while we are away. The only downside is that the app is very limited as it's a bit outdated. The newer app worked for a while, but provided a number of false motion detections to the point I had to turn it off. According to their tech support, they are developing a newer one that is more ideal for mobile phones but until then we're stuck with the older more limited app. Had we known this, we likely would have gone another route. All that said, this works fine for us and, although I think going with a nestcam may have been better, we saved quite a bit of money with this option. Primary purpose was to monitor and record activity outside but also check live feed inside during winter months to monitor for any unusual water etc... My husband did the electrical wiring and I did the wireless configuration which was very easy.
Hope this helps.
