| 24/7 Video recording with Reolink battery powered cameras Posted: 12 Aug 2020 04:33 AM PDT First and foremost, I know that these cameras will not support 24/7 video surveillance natively and are trigger-based recording only. However, I am wondering if it's possible to pair the Reolink 2/3/pro with ZoneMinder with persistant storage to create 24/7 video surveillance? I had originally planned on buying the Nest Outdoor cameras, and using their cloud offering for £10 p/m, but I really like the idea of pairing one of the aforementioned cameras with the solar panels and not having to drill through my wall / run cables etc. Does anybody have any experience with doing this? Is it even possible? I haven't purchased any cameras yet, so I'm not tied to Reolink if there are better alternatives. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 09:17 AM PDT What do you think of the ZOSI brand for NVR security systems? They are sold in Europe as well as the US. There are security and privacy concerns such as weak encryption or backdoors. Fair to try or stay off, at all? [link] [comments] |
| Lorex DVR keeps disconnecting from PC software only Posted: 12 Aug 2020 07:23 AM PDT Hello, For some time now my Lorex LHV2016-DFS3 (Costco 16 channel DVR) began regularly disconnecting from the PC software (works for 2--5 minutes, disconnects, reconnects about 30 seconds later). The Android app seems to work fine (no disconnecting). Upon further inspection, the router's DHCP log shows that the Lorex DVR keeps renewing its IP address ONLY WHEN RUNNING THE PC SOFTWARE... the rest of the time, it doesn't renew its IP address, and works fine--as if the PC software connection is triggering a LAN disconnect? During this time, as expected, the DVR doesn't respond to HTML requests to its IP address. Also, while exporting a large section of video (~10 minute download), it doesn't appear to disconnect at all from the PC software. I've tried many Lorex/Flir PC desktop software versions with the same results. I'm currently running Lorex Cloud V1.0.0/2019-11-27 64 bit version. I'm sure other's have had this problem... any fix? thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Repurposing existing home security sensors Posted: 12 Aug 2020 05:51 AM PDT Hi all, Recently moved into a new(-to-us) home. Previous owners installed an Alarmforce wireless system with a number of door/window sensors and a motion sensor. Is it possible to repurpose the components in a new security system, or for smartphone functions? If so, what sort of equipment do I need? Keypad: Climax KP-7 Door/window sensors: Linear DXS-36AF Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 05:25 AM PDT Is 24/7 home monitoring worth it yeararound? Or overrated for the price? How much would you pay for it monthly? $10, $15, $25, $45? Does the home security company you go with have better monitoring than others? or do some companies use live video sent to the 24/7 monitors as a more efficient for real/false alarms. I think Simplisafe top service does this to identify false alarms? worth it? What about RapidSOS company that COVE partners? Does it really make a difference? I live in a relatively safe neighborhood as far as I know and crime reports online seem low, but it could happen to anyone I suppose. Would you get it still? I've heard a thief or someone intending on doing harm will be in and out faster than anyone can get there whether you have monitoring or not. Perhaps RapidSOS can help with this? I know you can't put a price on the safety of your family, I'm just wondering if 24/7 monitoring really saves a lot of lives and is more than peace of mind. Abode vs Cove (RapidSOS) vs Simplisafe vs Surety vs ADT vs Scout? [link] [comments] |

| Looking for something to alert me of entry through open window. Posted: 11 Aug 2020 05:58 PM PDT My ground floor flat gets incredibly hot during the summer months and im always to scared to leave any windows open if im not in that room, have tv/music playing or asleep. Is there a cheap alarm available that i can install inside a window frame that has a breakable beam or something? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| What disguised security camera setup would be best for apartment? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 12:48 AM PDT So I want to monitor my apartment and want to set up small security cameras (disguised). Sound also needs to be recorded. They need to be running remotely, so I can connect at any time and see what's going on and also enable disable them as needed. They should also be able to record this on a server using WiFi, so in case they get disabled I can still see recording up to the point. 2-3 cameras is what I need. What would be the best setup you'd recommend? [link] [comments] |
| Any home security cameras with user permissions? Posted: 11 Aug 2020 01:36 PM PDT Most cameras that I have read about and also the one that I am currently using right now will allow everyone to deleted videos. This is very poor if managing many houses like I'm doing. I am sure there are others looking for the same thing- is there one smartcam home security solution providing user permissions allowing many to view content but not delete? [link] [comments] |
| Confused on the network hardware requirements for setting up security camera network Posted: 11 Aug 2020 12:14 PM PDT I am setting up 3 amcrest cameras connected to a TP link PoE switch. I plan to run Blue Iris on a dedicated desktop computer running headless. I already have the cameras and switch, and I have a refurb i5 EliteDesk box and 4TB WD Purple on the way. I want the cameras to be protected from the internet as much as possible but I also need the computer itself to be connected to the internet so I can access it. I'm having trouble envisioning the layout of this network because I don't know anything about network design. First of all, does this even make sense? Do I need a separate router for the cameras or can I connect the PoE switch directly to the computer? Do I/can I install 2 regular old network cards into the computer (or better yet use the already on board WLAN and ethernet connection simultaneously) so I can simultaneously connect the cameras and my main home router, and does this functionally isolate the networks from each other? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Adding new IQ sensors, compatibility, etc Posted: 11 Aug 2020 06:51 PM PDT I have an ancient GE Simon XT monitored by alarm.com. All sensors are wired and one went bad, so Brinks sent me an IQ DW Mini as a replacement. Super-easy install and tech support got it going with my system in 5 minutes. Now I'm thinking why not get some more of these and stick them on the 5 sliding windows that currently have no sensors. Any reason not to do this? Eventually I plan to upgrade the panel to an IQ Panel 2, so obvs these will work with that. Not sure about the old wired sensors though. Any idea? [link] [comments] |
| Help securing low-security rented apartment Posted: 11 Aug 2020 04:55 PM PDT Just found this sub, glad I did. I live in an apartment complex that's recently seen a huge uptick in car thefts, and the police say we should expect it to escalate to home robbery as well. We've got lock bars coming for the sliding door and single window, but the main door is left untouched save a 150db alarm. Which, as soon as a thief notices no one is home and that not a single neighbor so much as pokes their head out, will be about as good as a sign saying "please don't rob us". [link] [comments] |
| Seeking initial thoughts on a NVR system and 4 camera system for a "tiny home" (actually a van). Posted: 11 Aug 2020 04:06 AM PDT Looking for some pointers on where to start looking for an NVR and 4 camera system for my RV. The primary purpose is for situational awareness. When I'm in the back (in the "home" portion of my RV), there are no windows (it's a van) except for the back. I'd like to know what's going on outside. Especially at night if I'm in a strange neighborhood. Recording retention is not super important. 1 or 2 days is fine, 3 is probably more than I need. I understand there are 12V DVR systems designed for vehicles, but since I also have 110V AC in my rig and thus I am thinking it opens the door to using home security systems. There seems to be more choice with systems geared towards home than there are with vehicle systems. Maybe home systems are more advanced too because there's more competition. I see that 4K cameras and recording are plentiful whereas many vehicle systems are still stuck at 720p. Perhaps the NVR device for home systems is not as rugged because of the use of mechanical hard drives. But I'm hoping they can be swapped out for SSDs (can they be?). One issue is camera size. 4K cameras are somewhat large. I'd like to have really tiny cameras--partly for stealth and partly because of aerodynamics (I need to drive at highway speeds). Are there tiny dome cameras that are compatible with NVRs? The front and rear cameras need to be small but not as tiny as the ones on the sides. The front and rear are inside the van looking out through the windshield and rear windows. I can do the legwork to investigate the various options. Just looking for some direction on what to look at and what's possible. Maybe my concept is impractical; hopefully not. Some capabilities I'd like:

| What version of the Honeywell Vista Series is this? Former ADT Customer Posted: 11 Aug 2020 07:15 AM PDT I recently turned off my ADT monitoring. I had been using it for 4 years, I "own" the equipment at this point. I still have the system running in self-monitoring mode. I'm considering hooking up a Hub6 or Envisalink 4. This is my current logic board. It is branded as a Safewatch 3000 Pro. My questions:
Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Floodlight Reccomendation Based on Human Recognition Rather than Any Motion Posted: 11 Aug 2020 09:07 AM PDT Any recommendations for a security Camera/floodlight that can detect if the movement of a human and then turn on the floodlight so we limit the false positives (stop lights turning on due to nonhuman motion)? My parent's house got broken into and thought this would be useful since in my experience floodlights go on way too much. [link] [comments] |
| Samsung Smartthings Camera: putting them outside? Posted: 11 Aug 2020 06:42 AM PDT I am getting the free $150 for ordering a new Samsung phone and can get 2 "free" Smartthings cameras. To my knowledge they are indoor cameras and they don't offer the outdoor ones on the promotion. I was thinking just spraying them with some Flexseal and running the wire inside. Will these work outside ok? What's the worst that happens? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 11 Aug 2020 04:27 AM PDT Just moved into a not so nice neighborhood. I would like a camera to install that not only included outside my door but the stairs. The apartment is upstairs and I would like to be able to see what is directly outside my door while also being able to see anything on the stairs. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Aug 2020 07:31 AM PDT My street used to be inhabited families for the longest time, but most of them moved away and the houses turned into section 8 housing. Needless to say, they filled up with sketchy dirtbags from out of state, and now my garden is getting pilfered. Is there a wireless outdoor camera I can set up in a nearby tree to record to sd card that would be of any use? I would rather stay under $100 though I realize that might be unfeasible, I just don't have much experience with this kind of product and don't know what it would cost. Thanks in advance.
