| Motion sensor camera for some idiots climbing my fire escape needed. Posted: 13 Mar 2020 04:28 PM PDT Hi guys I am having some trouble with people climbing up the fire escape ladder of my building up to my balcony and I would like to install a camera in order to record them and get my landlord to do something about it. The camera will be placed outside, but in a well covered area. As I have to get out on my balcony and then through a security door, I will need a wireless cam. The area is about 10 by 10 ft and in one corner, the ladder comes up, which is where I want to point it at in order to record any movement, mostly happening at night. I will just need evidence that something is moving and footage, but no 24/7, so a motion sensor to start the recording and a push notification to my phone via app or whatever is essential. I have looked all over the sub for recommendations, but noticed that for most recommendations there are many reviews, too, stating that motion sensors don't work properly or just record a fraction of the movement. Also, triggering while the sun throws shades or nothing really happens seems to be a problem, as it drains the batteries of the wireless cams. So what would you guys recommend? Budget is around 100$ as I would rather pay for something reliable and functioning. [link] [comments] | ||

| Request: securing an egress window well Posted: 13 Mar 2020 01:23 PM PDT Looking for ideas on how best to secure a window well without restricting egress during an emergency. The metal grate on top unfortunately is not hinged/secured onto the window well but instead simply sits on top of it. It is very solid though and would be impossible to bend without some additional tools and a lot of attention. What I am thinking is some sort of cable/chain that connects a low rung of the ladder to both directly straight up and then also to the center/close to house of the metal lid. This would prevent the lid from being lifted or slid away from the window well. My dilemma is that I don't want to slow down any egress during an actual emergency. How could I secure this cable/chain while still being able to be removed or otherwise disconnected easily? A keyed or combo lock is out of the question. I'm thinking of linch pin that has a pull cord attached that would pull free easily and allow the metal lid to push up from the inside. I don't want to block the light coming in either. Otherwise this would be much easier to make happen. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 12 Mar 2020 06:37 PM PDT Thanks to some helpful comments here and some other helpful people I was able to reclaim my Night owl IP cameras that I wrote in another post. I wanted to make a new separate post with my process in case it is helpful to other users. Tools:
Process:
Notes: your cameras might not come from 10.10 at all.... Whatever IP they Do come from, that's the IP format you need to mimic when you configure your server. [link] [comments] | ||
| 2 car break-ins in 3 months, recommendations? Posted: 13 Mar 2020 12:13 PM PDT Recently i have had my second vehicle break-in in 3 months. We leave nothing valuable in our cars, but the invasion itself is enough to cause us stress. They appear to be happening around 2-3am. I do not have motion lights or cameras anywhere in my house. I am looking for recommendations on what security improvements i should make to deter, and if not then at least identify, would be thieves. TIA [link] [comments] | ||
| Need secure Wi-Fi camera to watch baby when I'm in garage Posted: 13 Mar 2020 10:33 AM PDT Hi all, I need to do a project in the garage but our standard baby monitor shows "Out of range" when I'm in the garage, and we don't have Wi-Fi in the garage either. So, I need a Wi-Fi camera to keep an eye on the baby that's secure (with 2FA?) that I can watch via my mobile phone using 4G. I would prefer it if it doesn't record to the cloud. Need to be reasonably priced too. Many thanks in advance! Edit: someone in another sub suggested using a home VPN connection, and I remembered I had an insecure IP camera that's blocked from the internet, I would use the VPN to connect to that. Job done. Thanks all! [link] [comments] | ||
| Need help in choosing a camera solution Posted: 13 Mar 2020 06:47 AM PDT Hello /r/homedefense, I hope this is the right sub to ask this kind of question. At home we'd like to do a new setup with around 5 CCTV camera's, for now only indoor. I have the following requirements: - Have an app with some sort of dashboard to view and scroll through footage. - Motion sensing stuff - Around 4 or 5 HD cameras with a decent quality and framerate as details are very important in the use case. - PoE compatible camera's as it saves me from getting 2 cables to every camera. I already own a PoE compatible switch. - Local storage for around a week of footage, internet is not really an option because of the really slow upload speeds (~10mbit/s), which is unfortunately not upgradeable. - Ability to expand even more in the future. - Long term support, don't want to throw away everything in a few years. - ~1000€ / $1100 budget, if i can do it in less, would also be nice. - Ability connect to a home security solution (optional) I thought about getting a basic ZoneMinder server with a set of compatible IP cams, but maybe there are really better options out there. Also I don't really know where to look at as there are so many options. I hope you guys can help me out, every idea/suggestion is really welcome! [link] [comments] | ||
| Noob here looking for something that records to the cloud? Posted: 13 Mar 2020 06:13 AM PDT I would like to install a few security cameras that would automatically record to the cloud. Not JUST when it detects motion but all the time, even if it was just 24 or 48 hours at a time. If I notice something is out of place, I want to be able to log into a website and rewind until I find what happened. I'm not completely opposed to having a hard drive or memory card set up but that doesn't seem as convenient. Also, if someone was to see the camera and pull the battery out, unplug it, break it, or steal it, I want to see what happened up until that point and if it isn't recorded in the cloud then they'd probably just steal the hard drive unit. I'm looking at the Blink and Ring cameras but I am not sure if they are what I'm looking for? Basically, 24/7 continuously recording regardless if there is motion or not is what I am looking for.
