Buy the Indoor Cam (2nd Gen) if the camera stays inside: it is the cheaper of the two and its lowest price was $24.99 on November 5, against $49.99 for the Outdoor Cam 2K on November 2. Buy the Outdoor Cam 2K if you need one camera that can go outside, run on battery, plug-in or solar, and survive weather.
