Compare plug-in Wi-Fi IP cameras for positions with a nearby socket and wireless coverage. Wi-Fi carries the data connection; the camera still needs its specified power supply. Choose an indoor or outdoor model to match the location.
Check wireless reception and fixed power together
Check the supported Wi-Fi bands and router configuration. Support for 5GHz or a particular mesh setup is model-specific.
Match the power adapter and socket position, including suitable protection for outdoor power connections.
Verify continuous or event recording and support for microSD, NVR or cloud storage against the history you need.
Compare pan-tilt, tracking and two-way audio after confirming the connection. For several cameras and central recording, also consider PoE cabling. Locations without fixed Wi-Fi need a separate assessment of 4G reception, a compatible SIM and the required data plan.
