Recommendations for home CCTV

PhilE

I'm looking to install a CCTV system at the home, am a bit confused as to whats out there and am not familiar with the brands.

It would be for outdoors; the front door, side drive and back door looking into the garden.

Wireless and battery powered cameras(if this exists) would be great as drilling into walls would be avoided.

Any recommendations, much appreciated.

Battery powered is just asking for trouble really and a headache.

Look into wireless IP systems that's probably the easiest as you can just stick a camera up connect it wireless and plug the power into an electric socket.

I prefer IP powered over Ethernet though but it does obviously involve the installing of Ethernet cables.

Look at Arlo systems on Amazon

As above Arlo and Arlo Pro seem to be what youre asking about, we have a ring doorbell Pro at the front (hardwired with bell wire) and we love it, and it has cloud storage too, highly recommended. Even considering another Ring product for the back of the house, the image quality is that good


Please remember CCTV picks up what has been done/commited, we got the Ring after we'd fitted a good alarm system, fully wireless and battery powered, we got a Visonic Powermax complete, with additional sensors for sheds, pet friendly etc, fitted it in an afternoon with a friend. Think it worked out about £350 to £400 for the whole bundle. Would recommend that too

So I now have the time to focus on getting CCTV.

What would be the advantage with Ario? It seems more expensive, and as it's magnet mounted its easy for a burglar to simply pull the camera off!
