_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted September 27, 2023 just a few questions ..... but 1st..... what options do you guys like THAT HAVE CC closed circuit or camra security systems op for ? night vision, wide angle camra, panning, zooming infrared, sounds, vox, >>alarms<< (which I'm not into, I like stealth... video n audio recordings, n catching the person in the act) just any idea or options I'd like to know about before I go full in....I'm not concerned with Fire perfection I've got that covered, also no need for any health alarm type systems got that covered via other ways...also... don't care for it having any hackable wi-if transmitions.... those aren't secure...but a wireless monitor would be a plus.. break ins around here are starting to go up... so is theft...if I've left out anything be sure to catch me up..... I hope this thread gets more people interested in home security ... cause times are changing...n I wouldn't mind catching some rare wild life pics and videos ether...I didn't go into much for specifications.... just ball parking it for now...

jeepwm69 7,619 Posted September 27, 2023 I don't have anything fancy. Bunch of Wyze cameras set up all over the place. They have a yearly fee if you want a lot of the features, but if you're ok with basic camera recording to a SD card they're cheap, seem to work well, and are easy to install. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted September 27, 2023 Do you think it a good idea to tell everyone on the internet what kind of security you have ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted September 27, 2023 Why ? Wi-if is the only one not hack proof ..... and it's posted all over the web.......anyone n there mother knows or could easily learn about it....if it's big deal... Move the thread it to the restrict staf area.... thank you jeep.... dect technology is one I'm looking into... it's way more secure... I'm looking at building my own setup... but as for video...dect (I don't think is compatible) and wi-if is a no go... it's not secure at all.....you'd be shocked at how many people think using a wi-if cinection your a smart phone is the way to go....its most certainly not secure.... not even close from My research... closed circuit is best....but I'm not going that route... Certain baby monitors that are audio only (top consumer pick) is strictly dect audio only....NO wi-fi.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got cameras watching cameras, a giant 125lb black devil dog, and a crotchety old man with a shotgun living next door. If someone wants to face those odds they deserve whatever they can escape with. I like the Wyze cams because IF you are close enough to connect to wifi, they record and save to a cloud as well as the SD card in the camera. So if someone steals my cameras, I'll get a good pic of who done it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted September 28, 2023 Thanks... my place isn't surrounded close by neighbors .....(Dave would closest) I know just about all of them...(they look to me for information --- crime reports in general) ... the people I've had trouble with live in a traitor park (not saying all people who live in traitor parks are bad.. lord knows I don't want this to look racial someone might get there itty bitty feelings hurt...lol! ) but fact is the buildings lost around here due to fires (were investigated and were caused by kids smoking) and break in n theft / crime is steadily rising....ha! I've got the man with the gun covered too... a dog..is an idea... I had that healer .(CB) .. but it didn't take... long story... he's fine got a good home in Alabama .. with a sisters friend... as for another... I've been thinking it's a good idea too.... I'd like a healer, but I won't allow pets in my home but for so long...plus there's the nieces kids... so that one I'll play by ear for now.. the idea of recording is a plus ....I talked some with WM... he also mentioned recordings. One reason that Got me to thinking about all this was a post here by someone who ether had one or had witnessed a catalytic converter being stolen right of a vehicle....while they were at work ....motion activated ... is another option I didn't mention... anyways thank you jeep. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
