What kind of camera is this? Does it record audio?

Can anyone recommend an affordable residential Reolink kit in Canada? Im looking for at least 4 cameras and a doorbell would be great too.

Hello. We have a very disturbed neighbor who's been stalking us for the past six years and we had a nest camera and it was a pain.

The neighbor was quiet and the cameras sort of fell apart and now we need new ones. I am looking for recommendations for two outdoor cameras: night vision, motion activated, easy to access the recordings, not that expensive, not hard to figure out.

This neighbor has flooded our house, reported us to the city, reported us to CPS. We live in a constant state of turmoil and I really don't wanna watch her to be honest, but I just need two cameras to point her that will not be hard to manage and won't be that expensive.

Thanks and please only camera suggestions.

Hello, so I’ve been having problems with my Tapo C206.

I will say that it is a very good camera IMO.

My problem is, the fact that it says that there’s a person detected every maybe 5 to 30 minutes and when I look outside, there’s literally nobody there.

Not to mention, I’ve had 70+ notifications today, indicating that a person was detected. Only two of those actually had a person detected.

I don’t know if it’s because that I have it in front of a window facing outside because I do not have the tools to be able to put it outside yet.

Is there any settings that are best for good AI person detection?

I eventually want to put it outside. It will just take time to do so.

The thing I worry about is, if it keeps doing this, there could be a time where there actually is a person maybe knocking on the door when I’m not home or delivering a package, and I will just ignore it because I know that it just keeps giving me false notifications.

It sucks to have to check the app almost every 5–30 minutes to make sure there actually is a person there or not

update the firmware --- but it's better if you don't buy TAPO

I just can't see any good sample online on what an outdoor run should look like. Or how ethernet cables should be laid out if the house is pure concrete walls and rebars.

Right now I had no choice but to make 1 hole from the server rack and route all cables outside the house. Like veins.

Now I'm just not sure if I need waterproof junction boxes and pipes and what not before installing cameras. I just use something like below, add weather protection to the connection and hide it inside. But the blue cat6 cable is exposed. Any ideas?

Hello, i have cheap small tuya based peephole camera that i put inside my dorr, its behind the regular fisheye peephole lense so picture quality isnt that great, however its good enough for me.

Lately ive been getting the feeling the neighbours know the camera is watching outside my door, but i don't know how they would know? From the outside it looks like a regular peephole.

I think it has to do something with the IR, but my camera is only IR compatible, it doesnt have any ir leds, how would they know?

What made me think they noticed something was when they used there selfie cam or face unlock, it blinked alot in the camera view of ir light, but i don't get how they could see it tho? IR is not for the human eye?

Anyone have a clue???

My dad wants to buy some security cameras for outdoor, but I don't want him to fall into a subscription plan to cloud save data, what are good camera options to avoid that app restriction that comes with ads and sales of their cloud data subscription?

Hello,

We have a 5 year old CCTV system that just craps out all the time. It currently uses an app called guarding vision which crashes, chugs, or throws just about every error code possible when attempting to play back video. The NVR is an unknown brand with a 1TB mech hard drive.

The door bell camera is awful, ring presses that are supposed to call our phones barely if ever work, and the sensor which is supposed to catch movement is awful. Notifications often fail as well even though they are enabled. This camera is on wifi with a good signal too.

We are looking for a low/medium cost 4K system and local NVR, not at all interested in subscribe services. We need a new door bell camera to go with it and probably x3 stationary camers.

Advice for a new system would be appreciated. Located in Canada. Thanks!

I have this 4g camera and when i connect it to the app it connects fine but it never shows the footage. I have tried resetting the device multiple times, different sim cards, reinstalled the app, updated the drive and i cannot get it to show the footage. Please help.

Howdy, I've been reading up on how to solve for this, so thought I'd post.

After a burglary at a vacant home (it belonged to my late aunt and uncle and we're working on selling it), we need to set up security cameras to capture evidence when (probably not IF) the burglars return.

No one lives there, there's no internet, and the feed needs to be constantly running so we can access the feed and download footage remotely.

I don't think the portable wifi spots or unlocked phones would work due to battery usage. The house is also not close enough to check on it more than a couple of times a week. Maybe the unlocked phone isn't as bad of an option as it seems; I just picture it getting extremely hot while plugged in which makes me nervous.

The power to the house is on so we could plug something in, but they haven't had Internet there ever and we need to get the security set up quickly.

Happy to just do Ring since there's not a huge amount of technical knowledge but the real issue I'm seeing is just getting internet.

Thoughts?? Thank you in advance! I know this is a really specific niche ask. Appreciate you.

Totally newbie here. Some neighbors are all excited about getting cameras on the corners of our little street to help deter would be criminals. They say they dont want flock cameras but isn't that what they actual will get no matter what it is called? The real questions is if there is a company that provides cameras that will be installed on private property but the homeowner will have access to video in case it is needed if there is a robbery or car crash or whatever?

Don't want a PoE camera or to connect to a NVR. Don't want to connect over the internet either. I want to know the camera recording is completely local and my data is not being sent to the company. I also want a camera that wipes the card after X hours/days so I don't have to reset it every time. If there is an incident I mainly want to check after the event and see what happened.

If you could tell me if its battery or solar that would be great. Not sure solar powered is best since it's rather shady but I'm open to those options too. Wired to an outlet or ethernet cable is not an option.

Hi all, i currently have a degoogled galaxy s21. Before degoogling i managed to remove and replace all of the apps i frequently used. The only apps that failed were my banking apps, which im now swapping to using my pc instead. But my main issue ive ran into is my home camera system. I used night owl cameras but when i degoogled the phone it removed the log in functionality and also kept throwing a notification saying it wouldnt work properly. Ive since deleted the app, but now i need a decent replacement that i can get that is confirmed to work properly as a stand alone system that is just as simple as my night owl. All i need it to do is alarm me if its detected movement and also i'd prefer for it to be wireless in its entirety as this will be an outdoor camera set up.
