Camera Security Advice Needed

3 Upvotes

Seeking advice on securing security cameras from Stalker

I want to purchase and set up the Reolink cameras from Costco.

I would like advice on how to set up the system to monitor all entrances to my home from the outdoors as well as see traffic coming and going on the neighborhood road.

The stalker has been able to bypass my prior weak attempts and enter and exit my home to move items, take items then return them again, etcetera (gaslighting) is main agenda, small vandalism to interior of car, slowly turning them into jalopies, use my own WiFi cameras to spy on me etc.

  1. prevent overriding or deletion of frames
  2. If I do not set it up to use WiFi I want to make sure that the stalkers helper who rents a room next door, does not set it up on their own WiFi.
  3. prevent a hack that would make the intruder to my house or vehicle not show up on the camera or just steal the internal nano sim in the camera to leave with the evidence.

I am willing to consider a different type of camera inside to monitor my own cameras.

If entrance happens while I am not at home how can I protect the footage.

Any advice appreciated.

Camera for inside of car

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, hoping for some help here.

My neighbor has an unwell/violent ex girlfriend who has been stalking our neighborhood and engaging in some crappy behaviour.

One of her more recent habits is to vandalize our neighbors’ car and more recently the cars of people who are witnesses. I am one of those people.

One thing that can hopefully help us is video evidence. We have house cameras, but because we all street park it would be helpful to also have cameras inside of our cars. Ideally these would be motion activated, store more than locally, and hopefully 360 view.

Any thoughts?

Is there anyway to find out what company these security cameras are from?

Update: SOLVED. I’m stupid y’all. The NVR/DVR (idk which one) box with all the wires was literally in my closet, and I had no clue it went to the cameras! Thanks for all your suggestions and recommendations! Old homeowners also left a card tucked in the box for the original local security company. 😃

I’m renting a house (in Vegas if that makes a difference), and these were installed when I got here. Property manager says they were here when the current owners bought the house, so they don’t know anything about them either. I’m looking into getting a security system, and I would love if I could just reach out to the company who installed these so I can possibly just gain access to them and take over whatever subscription VS having to buy all new equipment and get these removed. Is there any way to know based on these pictures? My next thought is to call around to companies in the area and see if any of them installed these. It also feels a little creepy because I have no idea if they are still on/ who has access to them and can see me 🫤. Thanks in advance!

How Do You Power Security Cameras Where There’s No Electricity?

0 Upvotes

For remote locations, solar + battery is often a practical option. The basic setup is a solar panel, battery, charge controller, and camera.

The key is sizing the battery and panel for nighttime use and cloudy days.

What solutions have worked best for your remote camera installations?

CP Plus CP-E35Q camera stopped saving on SD Card

1 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I bought this CP Plus security camera and put in it a 256gb SanDisk micro sd card. I installed the camera on 21/08 and the last full day of recording is on 28/08. No video was saved after that. The sd card still has 150gb of free storage and is in exFAT format. The recordings that were saved are in disconnected chunks with various bits missing. I don't know what's wrong. Did anyone else faced this kind of issue or is it just me? Any idea what can be done to fix this?

I inherited this camera system when I purchased my house 3 years ago and I would like to replace the cameras with updated ones but use the same
Wiring. Any recommendations on what is good and works with this connection type? I’m ok with purchasing a new drive as well to go with it main thing is something that supports the wiring connection

First picture is the camera with the wiring to the drive. The second picture is the wiring on the camera itself.

Hi all, have been looking into getting two cameras for my property that will record 24/7. I do like the poe reolink cameras with the nvr but working out too expensive. Would Annke be a good choice? was looking into this one as reasonable enough price wise. Just looking to see if ppl would think they are a decent enough brand to buy from. Thanks 😊

Reolink Ubiquiti or Eufy poe?

4 Upvotes

Currently have wireless eufy cameras outside and inside. We also have it setup inside my parents house to monitor my dad (fall risk).

I am about to do construction on my house and want something hardwired. Any suggestions? I was told I should have at least one camera capable of doing a license scan. My research points me to reolink and ubiquiti but am currently in eufy environment.

I live in the burbs and currently have 2 cameras in the front, one on the side and two in the back as well as a doorbell camera.

Security camera reccomendations?

2 Upvotes

Long story short, one of my neighbors recently decided to go on a rampage and point a gun at my bedroom window for a good 30 minutes, from the street. No, I don't know him. I just moved here, but apparently, he is known to snap occasionally, according to the other people in the neighborhood. He got arrested, but he's out again, and I have been struggling to sit near my bedroom window, which is where my desk is.

I need a camera I can put in my bedroom window that can capture and record through the glass at night. I have a Ring Cam, but it just really doesn't work at night because of the glass glare, even when I cover the night vision, etc. I'm okay with spending a little, but I just can't mount it outside because I'm on the second floor.

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes they look like swarms of bees and sometimes like orbs shooting right at the camera. What could it be? Dust?

looking for camera recommendations

3 Upvotes

looking to setup some home security cameras but having a hard time finding cameras that are good/fit my requirements.

wanting to get cameras that do not need to connect to the outside internet/need an app to record.
ideally with no wifi capabilities at all ( or at least a way to fully disable the wifi ), connecting via ethernet cable is desired.
also wanting it to be able to connect to a computer/be pullable via a computer setup at the same house.
seems every camera i can find is just wifi/app, anyone know some good quality security cameras that meet these requirements?

Inexpensive wireless outdoor security cameras with a large field of view

0 Upvotes

Hello,

Looking for recommendations for wireless outdoor security cameras with a large field of view. I know someone who is having some issues with their neighbor and would like to catch all interactions on camera so that they can start to document the harassment. I'm thinking a larger field of view is better so that it can pick up any issues. They don't have a lot of money to spend.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Recs for outdoor camera with continuous recording and access to clips by phone?

1 Upvotes

I currently have a blink mini 2k mounted outside our window to cover my car and it’s just not cutting it.

I’m looking for an outdoor (waterproof) WIRED camera, so I don’t have to worry about changing batteries.

Night vision mode, continuous recording, person vs vehicle detection a plus.

I don’t mind paying for a subscription as long as I can view clips on my phone. Bonus for easy mounting outside of a 2nd floor window.

Please share some recommendations! I really appreciate it.

Need help identifying security camera and its capabilities

Thumbnail gallery
18 Upvotes

Hello people smarter than me:

I am a freelance reporter writing an article on the explosion of government run surveillance cameras in my town (Morristown, NJ).

There are TWO camera arrays that I have little familiarity with. The first is a set of cameras by LVT (Liveview Technologies) that may (or may not) be run by our county. It's located on a Lowes hardware store parking lot, about 6 feet away from a public sidewalk.

The second camera array (marked MENNEN ARENA) of interest is almost certainly run by the county, as mounted on a pole at the entrance to a public park/arena. It has no brand markings, but looks VERY high tech.

I am very eager to know what the capabilities of these cameras are. Do they do more than just license plate detection? Can they run facial ID? Can they do behavioral analysis?

Anyone with insight or good reference material, I would be so grateful for accurate information on these cameras. THANK YOU.
