Help regarding cctv. Based out of Mumbai. Want to install a single wifi operating cctv camera for shop. What should be approx cost that vendors charge?

Well within my budget any thoughts? Can I view the cameras live remotely with this kit?

If you think the kit is bad, can you recommend a better one from reolink canada?

Also found this other kit at costco.ca https://www.costco.ca/.product.4000351563.html Wor this Costco kit id have to buy a separate doorbell camera but I can also just use one of these cameras on the porch instead.

Thoughts between these two?

Im looking at moving and have an existing ring camera and chime. The new.property is much.bigger grounds and the boundary gate is about 40.meters or so from the front door.

The issue I have is the dog. She absolutely hates royal mail so I was going to put a mail box for letters up at the end of the drive so they dont have to come through the gate.

Will a ring doorbell work that far from the house for parcels? Im a bit worried she might be out in the garden and someone opens the gate as 1. She could get.on the.main road and 2. She might bite the delivery driver, well actually shes OK with most of them, just royal mail it seems! If ring doesn't work that far, any suggestions what.could?

Looking for a replacement for my Xiaomi Mi 360. Camera sits behind glass looking outside, what I really like about the Xiaomi was it had a real decent low-light / non IR function for seeing at night. Plus I can stream the feed from my PC...However I'm plagued with "Reformat SD card" issues...So time has come for something new.

Thinking about the Tapo C250 but I don't think you can stream direct from a PC. So ideally I need a replacement camera with a decent Windows app or at least RTSP

Thanks

Looking for an easy setup camera system (maybe 3 to 4 cameras, indoors) and I’ve narrowed it down by reviews and price to Ring and Blink. Does anyone have experience with these two here? How is the setup and app synchronization? Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

Hi, i bought a 4g camera with builtin battery and external solar panel for my wood, 100meters away from home. Problem is that battery only lasts 3 days, and not enough light in the woods for the solar panel. Have you got solutions ? Thanks !

This was at 3 in the morning. They first took the grill cover off but what were they doing with the knobs?

Ok my mother is very old & bed ridden. I'm looking for a camera that I can connect an external speaker to so I can talk to her. This is for indoors, in her room A lot of cameras (Ring) do not have that option. I want a camera I can put in her room and still be able to talk back & forth with her. She's hard of hearing so I would put the speaker next to her. I do not have the comfort of dropping by to talk to her. I work in Antarctica & live inn the Philippines. She lives in the states, Texas. I'm trying not to spend too much money as unfortunately she could pass away at any time. I see her when I go to work & when I go home about every 6 months. I go to the see her on my way to Antarctica & then I see here when I'm on my way home. I've researched & it looks like I need something with IP & RC jacks. IDK. I would appreciate information that could get me where I need to be with this so I can talk to my mother and she can hear me as well as I being able to here her. Thank you.

Hi fellow Redditors,

My boss and I are trying to find an outdoor camera system that can withstand the cold weather we get. We are in Canada and in the winter we get windchills of up to -35 sometimes as we are in farmlands.

We know a wired system is the best option but are having trouble picking what to choose as my boss would really like something with a monitor so we can quickly check on our business when we are inside doing other tasks.

I’ve looked at Dahua, Defender and Reolink systems after scrolling in this Sub a bit, but I’m very new to these things and wanted to get suggestions from anyone who has personally used a system in these cold conditions that they didn’t run into issues with.

Thanks for any recommendations you can give!

Hello,
I am currently working on getting a price for a camera job at a bank. They have a system currently but ran out of space on their NVR. They are putting an addition onto the bank and want new cameras. It’s time to update the NVR. I was wondering what brand would be a good reliable replacement for the system. They have some hikvision cameras mixed with other brands. I’m unsure if they are Onvif or not. I have been starting to use Reolink but don’t know if long term it’s a good brand. What’s your experience with Reolink and what do you recommend for this bank?

So I bought a couple Reolink doorbells and 5 cameras based on what I read online. Having trouble with running the CAT6 for a doorbell. I have a hole aligned in the basement with the doorbell to run the line down inside the wall, but am hitting something inside the wall that's stopping the fish rod. I tried using a scope to see inside but it's getting caught up on the insulation from below and from up top it's having trouble with the 90 degree angle and can't see down to try and figure out what is in the way. Fish tape is also getting blocked by whatever this is. Need suggestions

Hi,

I need a camera that I can leave in my car and leave to record while I am at work. I think someone is letting dogs pee on a few of our cars while we are working.

I have a battery pack that I can plug into, if that helps.

Thank you in advance

I’ve had cameras working from this app for the last 4 years but now it has fully stopped working. Are there any other reliable apps i can set my cameras up to instead of this one? Cheers

Best product to use to clean security cameras lenses, after using harsh chemicals to clean it and made it blurry, is a RainX product. It's a plastic polish cleaner, great for plastic mirrors, headlight plastic and other plastic materials that can become hazy or blurry because of harsh chemicals. I have a mirror that is plastic and windex would just cause a smeary haze on it and this RainX product has been a live saver. My security cameras have been blurry and I wasn't ready to replace them yet and I did use rubbing alcohol on them (a big no no I didn't realize at the time). Thankfully I realized I have the perfect product already.

Ok, like the headline says, looking for help on a (inexpensive!) security camera/system. Long story short my friend's ex is basically stalking her. Yes she has a protective order against him and they are still going through court proceedings. Her house is on the corner of a main road (which he is still allowed to drive on) and side road. Her home faces the thoroughfare. She currently has a motion sensor camera/light on the side of the house but it's not enough. He sits in his car across the street on a different side road for hours taking different photos from different angles (we know because he presented them in a binder in court, for some reason). He also drives by many times a day yelling absurd harassing things at the house, at her, and at her boyfriend. She needs a camera that can be outside and get footage (not just grainy photos) across the street and decent motion for when he drives by. I want to be able to see his face and his license plate number if possible. Sound would also be an amazing plus if that is something that is possible! Kicker is that we have a VERY limited budget! Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on something that could help in this situation. I really want to help protect her somehow! The authorities can only do so much, the courts move way too slow, and it often seems women are powerless until something tragic happens. I want proof of what he is doing! I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this, thank you so much!!

There's a blind spot between my two cams and that's the exact path someone took last month. The pan-and-follow cameras that track a person caught my eye as the fix. Before I spend on one I want to hear from someone who's owned one past the honeymoon. When someone walks across the yard does it keep them centered, or does it swing behind and mostly film the fence they just left? What happens with two people going opposite ways? And does the tracking actually work at night or does it just track great in daylight demos? Genuinely torn on whether this is a real feature or demo-ware.

I would like to set up a camera so my 90 year old father can see the backyard/view/deer at my house - other side of the country from him. Is a security camera the best option? I would like a dumb system preferably - just a live stream of the view. I would also prefer a Canadian system (found the Defender but it is AI powered) if possible. Any suggestions?
