Tom's Guide, can you redo your aticle on "Best outdoor security cameras in 2022" and have a separate section for WiFi cameras, and one for Cellular cameras? That would be very helpful. With Cellular cameras, if you can let us know which ones can send photos and alerts with a weak cell signal that would benefit people who want to use it in remote locations. Also, need to know which ones can accept power from a solar panel. If it matters which Network (Verizon, AT&T, T-mobile) then let us know that also. Oh, one more thing - let us know what phones it will talk to: Android, iPhone, Tracfone, flip phone, etc. Link to user manual would be awesome also. Thank you.

I have been following tom's guides for some years and a couple of years ago invested in a quite expensive set of Arlo security cameras. Despite a disproportionately costly cloud subscription, as a warning system they are close to useless. What is the point of a notification that takes ten minutes to get to me. Someone in the garden ten minutes ago; or someone outside the front of the house even five minutes ago. It is not my internet or ISP at fault as my Ring doorbell is faultless. All I want is a system that will notify me quickly, and preferably record locally, without costly monthly charges. Can this be a part of further reviews. To be honest, the only good things about my Arlo system are the image quality and battery life. Even WiFi reception is patchy.
