CCTV Door Bell advice

11fernsroad

Hi

We would like to install an outdoor CCTV in the front porch and back of the property(above patio door).

We are looking for one with good resolution including night vision and motion sensor with alerts,and two way audio communication.

Outdoor,Wired and something which can hold upto 2 week of recordings either on cloud (or memory card inside the property).

Ideally dont want to get caught to in expensive monthly subscriptions.

Any suggestions?

Hi OP

There is so much out there with varying results even within the same make/etc
Also consider how easy to access.
We have ring security but do not pay a service fee to keep recordings. The ring system varies at the speed it
alerts you based on two things from what I have seen, speed of broadband and type of phone. One of our kids on our road has same system but fibre broadband and iphone and his alerts are within a 2/3 seconds whereas our takes longer or never and have adjested etc. We have non-fibre BB and an android phone - the iphone i have is too old/full for more apps.

Thanks

As mentioned already Eufy has storage option via SD card on hub.
Blink's doorbell has an USB socket on the hub to take storage via USB memory stick etc.

Biggest problem is eufy camera is magnet stick on and memory card is inside camera.

Anybody could easily pluck the camera and run and so goes the evidence!!

The memory is in the hub, inside your home, not in the camera.

I have an EUFY 2K doorbell. It's fine and seems a bit more responsive than the Ring bell I replaced it with. The only issue I have had is that I had connection issues with the 'blended' WIFI channel that Sky provide, I had to split into a 5Ghz and 2GHz (the 2GHz being the one for connection) - the battery lasts a lot longer than Ring and there is SD storage in the receiver unit.

That’s nonsense.
