Thanks again for all the help.

Yes the Arlo Pro looks good but it’s very expensive. The basic Arlo system with the base station plus one camera is about half the price - I think I’ll have to go with this. The info claims the camera’s battery charge lasts up to 6 months which sounds a little unlikely.

yes you can get up to 6 months. But if you have it on all the time with it triggering all the time it will be be a lot less

I only switch mine on when I vacate the house

Evidence suggests it does last a fair old time. Don't forget it wont be recording all the time just when the sensor has been tripped.

As this is for 'door answering' when your in, would you be better off looking at a doorbell that can trigger a light?

A quick google of 'doorbell for deaf' & this is one of the shopping results;
