Need Security Camera Suggestions

RegentHoney on 07/12/2022 - 10:50

Hey everyone,

I’m after at least two security cameras. I really don’t know what to look for, they’ll be outside the house. Looking for as cheap as possible that’s still decent. Perhaps around $200? Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

      Hmmm when’s the saleeeeessss

    wifi or wired?

    if not installing yourself, the big cost will be installation (for wired, which is better).

      I think wireless cause wired would be a bit of a hassle to install.

        Will still require a power source - typically wired.

    google nest battery outdoor cams cost $250 each, but can handle power / wifi outage and videos stored in cloud not on site, easy to move around

      Hmmm all of those seem to be wired

    I can see some on Amazon for around $80 but not sure if they’re any good. Reviews seem to be okay

    IF it backs up to the cloud, make sure you look into the monthly/annual costs

    IMO you're going to want a wired setup and a dedicated NVR (Network Video Recorder).

    I've had good success with Dahua: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/334195333908
    And NVR: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/174925604268 (choose just the NVR)

    You'll need a HDD to whack in it.

    Over your budget.. /shrugs

    Reconsider battery rechargable types because having to manually recharge them can be a hassle.

    • RegentHoney on 08/12/2022 - 08:53

      Apparently these Eufy ones go on for 180 days without needing a charge so that doesn’t seem too bad

      • ozpossum on 25/12/2022 - 11:19

        It is 180 days assuming very limited number of events to record. 24/7 recording is not even possible

          I ended up getting the Eufy ones, they’re already installed. Very happy with them!

          • ozpossum on 25/12/2022 - 11:26

            @RegentHoney: I have a power-wired Eufy floodlight as well. it is good for remote monitoring, but for me it is not replacing the 24/7 set and forget recording system which you only want to go to when there is major incident.
            they are two different products IMHO

  • ozpossum on 25/12/2022 - 11:22

    Decide if you want 24/7 recording. if yes you have to go wired and you have to DIY with that budget. Bunnings sells Swann ones with 4 cameras with that price
