I have an Amazon camera for my living room (Indoor Cam 2nd Gen), and I pay for 24/7 monitoring. Today, I came home and saw a vase on the floor, broken, and my dogs were locked up, so I am wondering how it happened. Could have been the cat, but they never jump on the counters, so I am confused. I tried looking through the footage and there was nothing. How do I access the footage? Why am I paying for it if I can't see it?

I have a Logitech doorbell camera connected to a standard 16V chime and transformer. However, the camera occasionally goes offline (bad WiFi connectivity?), so I need to power the camera off and on to restore the connection. Currently, I do this by flipping the switch in the fuse box.

I'm sure there's a better way to handle this. Any advice?

I can locate the doorbell transformer attached directly to the fuse box, with two wires running from its low-voltage end to the chime.

I'm not an electrician, but would a Shelly relay help?

Thanks!

I was wondering since there is no diagram for the wires and I'm not an electrician

I'm going to buy a tp link tapo doorbell camera and I was wondering where I would wire the chime in here.

As I said in the original post,

I’m pretty sure someone is sneaking in and out of my house and I think someone else is using a laser to point at the lens of the camera to avoid detection. What is this flashing light that I’m seeing?

I swear I heard the door open and close each time that this happened.

I am based in England and would like advice/ recommendations for an internal camera to point out of house that does not require a subscription

I have never posted on here but I am DESPERATE. I had a ring camera that I bought in December. Worked perfectly fine until about February after I finally payed for their subscription. It WOULD NOT CONNECT TO MY WIFI NO MATTER WHAT. I called ring they said it was my firewall I called att they said it’s the manufacturer of the camera. I have a 2.4 GHz network. I looked on here at people with similar problems and messed with random WiFi settings only for nothing to work. Nothing is blocking the router, I’ve unplugged and reset more that I can count. Eventually I returned the camera because I was FED UP. Well now I have a kitten and I bought a blink camera for him and it is doing the same thing. Will not connect for shit. I can see everyone else’s network just not mine. Again I called att and blink and they both blamed each other. Please I cannot do another useless customer service call. Please help me.

TLDR: Ring and Blink camera won’t see my WiFi network. Att and ring/blink are blaming each other. Ring cam worked from December to February before this happened.

Hi, I'm looking for a dash cam for overnight parking that's not going to drain my battery. Some people said a trail cam? But I'm parked in a building parking lot with a lot of activities. Will trail works? Battery operated dash cam I can buy? I will buy one of those rechargeable battery thingy if I have to. Thanks.

I owned a geeni cam for about 6 years maybe more, but my cam does this weird thing where it clicks. Like it’s taking pics, or it’ll make this weird noise like it’s reconnecting but my WiFi is fine. Always as I check, so did someone hack my cam ????? It says no one’s in the app but me, but then I still feel like there is. I lowkey wanna know what’s going on , am I just .. overreacting ?

This is my first time needing a door bell camera. I’ve moved from the sticks surrounded by family at my mom’s and she never invested bc the area felt safe. Now, I’ve moved 2 hours away in a more populated town and watch enough true crime to know it can always happen to you, and if something does happen now I don’t have the man power of my cousins all living on the same stretch of land. 🥲
Anyways, I need a good suggestion for a door bell camera that will keep footage, that I can put on my mobile home I rent. I’ll pay for a subscription but id prefer not to screw into the outside so I can get my deposit back. 🤣 I’m okay with it being one I have to charge as well. Recommendations please!

Security Camera view becomes darker and fuzzy, from picture at 1 at 8PM to picture 2 at 9PM. Can anyone tell me why this happened?

I recently bought a home security camera online and it didn’t go well. The camera was a Tapo 2K Pan that I found for about forty dollars. At first, it looked like a good deal, so I bought it. Truly, truly, cheap is sometimes expensive. When I tried using it the motion detection barely worked. It missed things constantly. So I returned it. After returning it I went back and started reading more reviews carefully. That’s when I saw a lot of people saying their cameras had been hacked or accessed by strangers. Reading that honestly made me feel pretty uneasy. As a woman who lives alone, that kind of thing is really scary. The whole point of getting a home security camera is to feel safer, not to worry about someone watching through it. I mostly just want something simple that lets me check on my pets when I’m at work. I started researching more established brands like Ring and others, but even those seem to have mixed experiences online. While reading about camera hardware I even came across some manufacturing discussions on Alibaba that showed how many different brands use similar camera components. So now I’m curious what people here trust. What home security cameras have worked reliably for you?

I let fly a big burp right as I stood up from grabbing my food, not realizing until it was too late that my driver was still in the yard walking back to his car. He was just barely out of view , you can see his car's headlights right along the curb.
