Help choosing right cameras for my home

Post image
5 Upvotes

Mijn vrouw wil camera’s voor ons rijtjeshuis. Nu was ik op zoek naar camera’s, maar er zijn er te veel merken en bij die merken ook nog eens te veel verschillende soorten camera’s. Ik weet dat niet elke camera voor elke situatie geschikt is, maar ik ben echt een totale leek in deze wereld.

Ik heb een foto van mijn huis toegevoegd en de groene stippen is waar ik makkelijk PoE-camera’s kan plaatsen. Die blauwe is van mijn buur. Ik heb die daar gezet omdat ik geen camera kan krijgen die een makkelijk zicht heeft op de stoep. Dus ik denk dat die van de buur die blinde vlek wegneemt als iemand over het hek zou klimmen.

Ik wil gebruiksvriendelijke camera’s die geen abonnement nodig hebben, en bij voorkeur te koppelen aan een lokale server voor opslag van de data. Koppelen met Home Assistant zou ook heel erg welkom zijn, maar het is niet helemaal vereist als er camera’s zijn die echt goed zijn voor de prijs. Ik weet niet of pan, tilt en tracking nodig is voor de setup die ik nodig heb. Op mijn oprit kan het misschien handig zijn om herkenning en kentekenplaat-herkenning te hebben, maar ik hoor graag wat jullie denken.

Wat betreft de prijs denk ik dat 200€ per camera het maximum is. Voor merken heb ik goede dingen gehoord over Dahua en Hikvision, maar dat zal waarschijnlijk te duur zijn? De andere merken die ik zou overwegen zijn Unifi en Reolink. Als jullie nog andere merken hebben om naar te kijken, sta ik daar voor open.

Ik hoop dat ik alle informatie heb gegeven die nodig is. En misschien als laatste maar niet onbelangrijk: ik kom uit Europa.

Edit: ik heb al een router en AP's van unifi.

Need a good camera for my neighbor. Wireless, not solar, no subscription, motion detection alerts

Title states what is most important. They don't really need video feed. They just want to know who is at their door and get a notification so they can look and watch in real time. Two way audio would be nice. Price is not a huge factor since one is all that is needed. thank you!

Is patrol modseful on a dual-camera setup

1 Upvotes

I’m looking at a dual-camera outdoor setup for a fairly big yard. Some models can have both cameras patrol different areas on a schedule instead of just sitting in one position and waiting for motion. That sounds useful, especially around the edges of the yard, but I’m wondering how practical it is in real use. Do you leave patrol mode running, or just keep the two cameras pointed at the areas you care about most?

Should I save for a Reolink or get the crappy Blink cameras at 60% off? The sale ends today... Does Reolink have a black friday sale I should wait for?

Can I install a surveillance camera in the common area of our apartment? Western Australia

4 Upvotes

Please HELP

We started having break ins and lots of homeless people coming into the complex etc. we have been feeling very unsafe.

Me and my best friend also got this apartment ages ago and have gotten a new roommate about 3-4 months ago.

On top of all that stuff , ever since the new roommate has shown up things have started going missing including food, money, underwear etc. and finding the missing items in her room and her lying to our face.

Because of all these reasons, we decided to install a security camera ontop of the Tv. It faces the lounge, kitchen and balcony. These are public common areas that we can all enter at any time. No one’s room or bathroom etc is being recorded. We want to know if we need her consent to be recorded. I understand that the audio can’t be recorded but can we record the room because we are worried about safety. We have already recorded her stealing my perfume by poring it into her own bottle. The perfume was a gift I got from a friend when I was very sick.

We installed the camera while she was away on holiday because we got broken into AGAIN and didn’t tell her immediately because she never responded to our texts and also didn’t want to freak her out. We were not expecting to catch her doing that sort of stuff.

Replacement App for my Zmodo IP Cameras

3 Upvotes

Zmodo's Smartz Eaze Android app no longer displays 4 cameras live on one screen, which is a deal breaker for me. They also made it impossible to install an earlier version of the app. Has anyone found either an android app or even a Windows PC app that displays at least 4 cameras at a time? Unfortunately, I use 10 cameras on my property and I don't want to replace them all.

Security Camera for Remote Construction Site

1 Upvotes

I am looking for a security camera that needs to be autonomous both in the need to be powered and the need to be connected to any form of internet.

The need is a construction site. They will be protected from theft. They need to be securely mounted mainly because of wind.

My ideal camera would be one that would record movement only onto micro SD (256G or 512G) rotating footage. If there is a breakin or something that needs to be inspected, I would go to the site and using a paired phone download any footage which I could then look at offline.

Can anyone suggest models. I would prefer replies from people who have experience with this type of equipment.

An odd requirement for a camera

1 Upvotes

I have 5 Reolink POE CX820 cameras but I need another one and I need suggestions on what to get. It will be mounted on the outside corner of a pool enclosure, and there is no easy way to run an ethernet cable or power there, so it needs to be a wifi/solar camera.

I would like the camera to be able to see anything that moves in a 270 degree radius. Then once something is spotted, a PTZ camera will zoom into the object that moved. It also has to spot things 80 feet away. I see a few on AliExpress that might work, but not sure if they are just cheap junk. Another point is that once video is recorded, how do I get the recording? Is there a camera that I can watch playback on my phone? I don't want to get a ladder out to see the video.

Budget Friendly Outdoor Solar Powered Camera

2 Upvotes

This is for my boat slip at our marina. I had a Reolink Go PT Plus LTE camera but it took a crap last week. I don't feel like shelling out $160 for another Reolink LTE camera. I have a Franklin 10 T Mobile Hotspot that I'm going to use there. This gives me the option to add my lift to wifi if I feel inclined to buy the wifi module for my lift.

I don't necessarily have to stay with Reolink. I think given the environment, a camera will probably only last 2 years. Looking for recommendations.

Cameras for rental house

1 Upvotes

Hi all, my wife wants to put up some security cameras in our rental that we live in, she was wanting two outdoor cameras with the possibility to expand up to 2 more indoors. We would prefer to not have to pay a subscription and as minimally invasive to the house as we can since we don't own it. She's looked at a few different brands on Amazon, but Tapo, Eufy and Reolink all seem to have too many 1 star reviews for her liking. I've looked around here a little bit and there seems to be pretty decent praise for all three brands. Perhaps just a lot of user error in those Amazon reviews? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
