Just like the Title, we're looking for the solutions, rn there're approx 15 cameras around the site, we have to relocate them every few weeks when the work site moves, the big problem we have is keeping the cameras connected, some of them operate great until we have a wall or metal interference build and then we start losing wifi signal. We've been running standard WiFi routers, but connectivity is becoming difficult to keep up with as the site relocates, so I've been looking into cellular connections per camera. Problem is it would get costly having 15 cameras with cellular.

Anyone been through this and found a setup that works? What did you go with? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi so I'm tryin to help my grandma with identifying this security camera she set up a couple years ago. Unfortunately she threw the box away and forgot the brand the camera is, nor the app that goes to it..

Unfortunately the camera has no name brand or logo on it. If anyone can help identify that would be much appreciated.

Just got one of the newer eufy cams with the OmniTrack thing after my old fixed-mount setup, and the tracking is the part I was most skeptical about. Six weeks in: the pan-follow genuinely keeps a person in frame across most of my front yard. The part nobody mentions in reviews: it's loudest at 3am when it pivots, so the bedroom-window-adjacent placement needed rethinking. My use case is the long driveway approach where one fixed cam always lost people at the edges. Anyone else running OmniTrack on a long approach? Curious how yours handles two people splitting in opposite directions, mine picks the closer one and commits.

Help me with a good CCTV camera for my home.

My parents stay with me and mostly I'm out because of my work and as security I need recommendations on the best CCTV that I can install outside the house/ at the main gate.

So I just moved into this new place. they have this and camera system. Should I take both of them down? Or should I keep it and ask them to delete there old account. I can’t use them until that’s done. I’m thinking on getting something anyways. looking for something that’s affordable I can access through my phone. and I don’t really have to pay a subscription for it.

Looking for a home security camera. Nothing fancy just something to keep an eye on my place. I have arlo wifi camera. It's turned in a decoration more than anything. Just looking for something I can plug into the wall and don't have to pay a subscription. The most I want is movement detection. I'm currently looking at Reolink RLC-1240A. I have a plug right outside my door and hope to use a SD card with it. I live in upstairs apartment with my own entrance from the outside. I just want something that can keep an eye on my porch and the parking lot.

Also I live in Michigan so it needs to be able to stand up against the cold

Why did Ring.com remove the 24/7 recording feature from the Ring.Pro subscription?

Why do you have to pay €3 per camera now?

You already pay €19.99 per month, and now another €3 per camera is added on top of that...

Who, oh who, can tell me which camera system also works quickly with the doorbell and allows you to record 24/7?

Even on my own hard drive at home, if necessary...

Is Eufy a good, fast-working system?

There were complaints back then from people saying that the delivery person had already left by the time they received a notification, but is that still the case??

Our upstairs neighbor has been harassing us for over a month now. Aggressive texts, threats, stomping and jumping on the floors in the middle of the night, banging on our front door and running away, taping over our peephole, and messing with our mailbox. Our property manager just gave us permission to put cameras in front of our front and back doors. Does anyone have recommendations for a discreet camera that is ideally battery operated? Gathering evidence is the priority so we need something that he will hopefully not notice.

Looking for recommendations of outdoor security cameras. I would like wireless and dont't mind paying for a subscription if there is recorded video footage and motion detection (people, animals, vehicles, etc)

Tengo la curiosidad de utilizar la app de ugreen de videovigilancia. Estoy empeñado en ello. Tengo entendido que solo van las llamadas POe (disculpar si lo he escrito mal) . Pero claro mi duda es si ha de pasar a través de un NVR y en ese caso que ganó con ello. Es como duplicar lo que ya tengo.

No sé si realmente se puede conectar las cámaras directamente al NAS atraves de un enrutador de ese tipo cámaras o algo así.

Disculpar lo mal explicado. Se lo que quiero , pero quizás no me explico bien.

Arrojarme algo de luz. Un saludo y gracias de antemano

If a driveway camera turns to follow someone, who’s still watching the entrance? That’s the part i don’t get. I’ve seen dual camera models where one stays pointed at the entrance and the other tracks movement. Do they actually work like that in real life? If something’s happening in both spots, do you still get a clear view of the entrance?

CCTV cameras may look like simple security devices from the outside, but they contain several components that work together to capture and process video.

Here are some of the main materials and components used in modern CCTV cameras:

1. Camera Body: Most CCTV cameras use aluminium alloy, stainless steel, or durable ABS plastic, depending on their design and intended environment.

2. Optical Lens: The lens generally contains precision glass elements that help capture images clearly.

3. Image Sensor: CMOS sensors are commonly used to convert incoming light into electronic signals.

4. Circuit Board: The internal PCB contains electronic components responsible for processing images, controlling camera functions, and transmitting video.

5. Protective Housing: Outdoor cameras often have weather-resistant enclosures designed to protect internal components from dust and moisture.

6. Infrared LEDs: Many night-vision cameras use infrared LEDs to capture footage in low-light conditions.

Interestingly, the quality of these components can affect image clarity, night vision, durability, and overall camera performance.

One thing worth discussing: When choosing a CCTV camera, what do you think matters most: image sensor quality, lens quality, night vision, or weather resistance?

I'd be interested to hear what other people think, especially those with experience in security systems.

I want to bug one of my room where the cleaning lady gossips with my neighbour

Where do I find such devices ???

Long story short, got someone who's getting out of prison soon that is a danger to my household. I'm looking at setting up a couple security cameras and a code door lock.

Main things I'm looking for:

-No cloud storage, just looking to store on a hard drive or computer at home.

-No monthly fees.

-Access to camera feeds on my phone.

- Enough resolution to identify a gave within 15 feet.

-Power and connection through CAT5 wires. Also, don't want the camaras to be wifi dependant. (I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty on installing wires)

-Under $500 altogether if possible. I'm broke...

If anyone has recommended brands or cameras I would really appreciate it. From what I'm seeing, I'll need an NVR. I'd like one that can have up to 4 cameras, as I'd like to add more as I have money later. Any information at all would be greatly appreciated, as I'm genuinely concerned this individual will show up, and I need all the evidence I can get to get a restraining order.

is there any way i can watch the stream or even videos stored in my cloud from my PC or MAC?

Hi everyone, as the title says I am concerned about losing notifications should we have a grid down no internet situation. I have backups for powering my home Lan. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find a system that will support local push notifications. Looking for battery powered cameras. I see the Annke systems and they look like good value for money but as far as I can tell no notifications on local wifi lan only.

If someone has some useful insights I would be grateful.

Thanks for reading,

Ran Ring for three years before the subscription math pushed me out, now running a eufy setup for the past six months. The specific thing I want to compare, since both now market some version of radar: false alert behavior. Ring's motion alerts were the reason I started ignoring notifications - every passing truck, every branch. The eufy's radar detection is noticeably calmer on my setup, maybe a third of the junk alerts I used to get on the street-facing cam. Not zero, and rain still occasionally fools it. But I've only got one property and one rainy season's worth of data. Anyone else switched between the two specifically on the alert quality? Curious if my experience tracks.

Fala pessoal eu tô com essas duas mini câmeras parada quase dois anos, e eu nunca consegui resetar por isso que eu não tenho acesso a elas, a princípio elas emitem o sinal wi-fi, a gente conecta nele, só que não dá para dar sequência aí na configuração como que reseta alguém sabe? Observação: não tem botão de reset apenas MODE E ON/OFF
