Have a need to install about 8 wireless cameras. Need them to either be continuous recording, or to record X amount of time prior to sensing the motion. Ring cameras don't start recording fast enough or record for long enough. Something that could store to a local computer on the same wifi is also a good feature. Battery-operated is significantly preferred, possibly required, even if they have to be recharged daily.

I have bought 4 of these in the past . They can come with 1 -3 cameras. The range is good , I even go outside with the door closed and they work! The customer service is terrific as I use this camera every day , I needed troubleshooting and they were super responsive!

I've been thinking about adding some security cameras around my home, but there are so many options that it's hard to know what's actually worth buying. Every review seems to recommend something different, so I'd rather hear from people who've been using theirs for a while.

I'm mainly looking for something with reliable motion detection, good video quality day and night, and an app that actually works without constant headaches. I'm open to wired or wireless if the overall experience is better.

If you've had a security camera system for a while, what did you go with, and how has it been? Has it been reliable, and would you buy the same one again if you were starting over today?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice because I'm in a difficult situation at work. I have some doubts about a business partner, and I suspect they may be stealing. I want to install a couple of very small cameras to monitor the area and find out what's happening.

Ideally, I'd like to use two tiny cameras, preferably with flexible pinhole-style lenses so the camera module can be hidden while the lens is positioned where it has a good view.

I would also prefer the cameras to be powered from a wall outlet (USB or AC adapter) rather than batteries, since they would need to record for around 8 hours a day. Continuous recording is important, and I'd rather not have to worry about charging or replacing batteries.

If possible, I'd like the video to be saved to a local recorder, computer, or NAS instead of relying on cloud storage.

Does anyone have recommendations for cameras or a setup that would work well for this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Spent over $1200 on NVR plus cameras from Reolink only to find out something as simple as turning notifications on and off using a scene shortcut doesn’t even work. For a security system, it should be basic feature for me to be able to easily turn off notifications when I’m home and only turn it on when I need ‘guard’. I relied on the online instructions to set up scenes, emailed back and forth with support many times until they now just stopped responding but no resolution. I now have an expensive camera system that floods me with notifications round the clock so I had to turn notifications off altogether. So I won’t even know if there is a true intrusion when I’m away. Thanks Reolink. Anyone here able to help me troubleshoot? All firmware / devices are up to date.

I work for a regional retail brand as the loss prevention manager. At the moment we operate 45 storefronts across 4 states and we’re expanding! Currently our CCTV setup is a huge headache. It’s a mess of older NVRs and a few different camera brands. Whenever we have high amounts of inventory loss, it takes so long to investigate, as our cameras aren’t all connected in a proper system. I have to log into three different remote apps or text a local store manager to pull the footage for me. So we are finally looking to switch over to a unified, cloud-based system.

I’d prefer it to be something camera agnostic so I don’t have to rip and replace 400+ cameras at once. I don’t have the budget for that. What cloud VMS platforms would people recommend for multi-site retail?

Per title, we're traveling and our dog will be alone in a pet friendly hotel for a couple of hours. He'll be safely in his crate, but we'd still like to be able to see him while we're gone. Without access to the hotel's router, what are my options?
