My recommendation is "look before you leap." My first adventure in security cameras was with two battery powered models because my old house is a nightmare as far as any sort of wiring is considered. I soon discovered:
- They lag. To conserve battery power, they all basically "shut down" until the (cheap) PIR sensor detects "motion" and then power up and start recording. Meanwhile, the UPS delivery person has dropped the package, turned, and gone back to the truck and I'm left wondering "what happened?"
- Recording time is limited. Look closely at the small print about how long individual recordings can be.
- Continuous streaming is limited (to conserve battery life).
- Batteries DO NOT LAST. Those claims of "six months" or "two years"? Ha. Be prepared to spend a lot of time climbing ladders.
I am sure you have looked at comparison articles, such as this one:
