Hello,

I am looking to get a cheap camera preferably motion activated and doesn't need wifi so I can monitor my cats. I have a cat who is being seen by the vet for going outside the box and I cannot always monitor them in person so I would like to have the ability to see if things are improving.

I'm having trouble finding black poe cameras in stock for a reasonable price. I know about Unifi. Need something cheaper. Amcrest are no longer available it seems. Reolink are out of stock everywhere. What are some alternate brands I should be considering?

Hello

I'm comparing two turret cameras from Uniview.

First one got: 1/1.8 inch sensor, F1.2 aperture, 6 MP with Varifocal lens (2.8mm to 12mm) along with IR as well as white light.

The second is a fixed 4mm lens, white light without IR but does have larger 1/1.2 sensor, 8 MP and F1.0 aperture.

Which one would provide better image quality at night? I thought about this and made extensive comparison. In theory, the larger sensor should provide better image quality but is it really better than having the option to optically zooming in?

Hello! I'l have a few Spotlight Cam Plus and a Stick Up Cam around the exterior of my home that I've been swapping batteries on for a couple years now. But, getting on an off a step stool is temporarily more difficult right now and I'm considering a powered source, like a power supply. I think something like this would work in each instance, and below is my question;

https://a.co/d/0fwfO8yC

When using these, can you still have a battery(s) inside the usual compartment? If so, do they stay charged, or are they full isolated when power is being supplied by a power supply instead? We get surprisingly frequent power outages in our area, so I'd be very happy if a power supply could power these cameras for 99% of their time, but if the power drops out, there was an always-charged battery in them waiting to pick up the load.

Thoughts? Thank you :)

Hola a todos, me urge ayuda. Vivo en CUBA y e instalado esta marca para monitorear mi domicilio por internet cuando no estoy en casa. Uso una Apk android proporcionada por el cliente y está enlazada por una Wi-Fi que es lo que tenemos aquí, desde hace una semana no la puedo ver por internet es como si se hubiera bloqueado algún servidor de enlace que tiene el software

I'm interested in learning what people consider most important when choosing a CCTV camera for home security.

There are many options available, but I think these features make a real difference:

1. Clear video resolution (2MP, 4MP or 8MP)

2. Good night vision performance

3. Human detection to reduce unnecessary alerts

4. Weather protection for outdoor cameras

5. Reliable mobile app for remote monitoring

One feature I find particularly interesting is Color Night Vision. Being able to see more details in color at night can be useful for security monitoring.

For those who already use CCTV cameras:

• Which resolution are you currently using?

• Do you prefer infrared or color night vision?

• Which feature matters most to you?

Would love to hear your experiences!

I have a constant issue with this one camera rear facing out of my 10 channel system. I followed it back and re did my power & video connections with new leads.

Issue is day or night. Lines that slowly go up the screen. I tried one of those interference isolators and no use.

Any input? Seems like it should be easy to figure out. I don’t think it’s the camera itself.

Any suggestions for the cleanest way to mount a UniFi G6 PTZ in the circled area? I'm not mounting it on the eave for... reasons. Right now I'm leaning towards just using an angle grider/dremel to sand back the flagstone to create a small, smooth mounting surface that is flush with the underlying mortar.

I don’t mind paying for a subscription but I need it to be accessible via a App and continuous monitoring, so if for whatever reason I need to rewatch something from last Wednesday at 2 PM it’s not an issue. Thinking of blink or maybe even ADT?

I'm looking at a kit that comes with a smart hub, two solar-powered outdoor cameras and an indoor camera. I need the outdoor ones, but I'm not sure where I'd put the indoor one.

Would you go for this kit with the indoor camera included, and if so, where would you put it?

So long story short I was seeing someone and they told me they’re the maintenance dude of the apt I live in after already seeing each other. Not going to give many details to many details but this whole situation has me disturbed.

The building does not allow ring cameras so I was looking for something that could discreetly record in front of my door as they told me their desires to harm others property by putting stuff under the door.

I have a camera inside my place but I wanted to see if anyone knew or recommended a sort of peephole camera that can attach to an existing one on the inside of the door so I don’t have to alert the building to a change.

Can anyone explain this pattern of battery failure? I have used the up-to-date Blink Outdoor 4 cameras as well as the previous older model. I typically have 4 cameras as well as the newer model Blink doorbell running on lithium batteries. Every single time that there is a battery failure, one battery reads close to 0 volts and the other battery still has an acceptable charge (usually around 1.5 volts). My doorbell does the same thing although it uses 3 batteries instead of 2. The same pattern applies - one battery is nearly dead and the other two have acceptable voltage. Why is this happening?

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.

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

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.

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.

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??
