Galway outdoor home security camera install

RopeDrink · 24-07-2019 2:30pm #1

Howdy,

My family and I have been on the hunt for outdoor security cameras. No matter what we search for online, everything leads to alarm-systems (fire, motion, etc.), indoor cameras, or monitoring services. All we'd like is:

» 2 Outdoor Cameras / Recording Capable (specifically for the driveway and back garden).
» Nightvision / Weatherproof

Does anyone happen to know of sites or services (in Ireland) that provide these? (installation is a bonus). No matter how we search, it's dead-ends everywhere, e.g., Amazon sites with 'smart-apps' or other unnecessary things that are not suitable.

Alternative suggestions also welcome, but above would be preferred.

Thanks!

Personally if I were you I'd be looking at someting like ring, their flood light cams look the real deal with notficiations to your app if motion is detected etc (apps are certainly not unnecessary if you want to have a good monitoring system).

Here is another system that looks good and meets a lot of your needs which is available in Ireland:

I got one of these over a year ago and found it great. I mounted it upside down to the top of an upstairs window viewing down at our front harden and the road. Can move it around with the app so I can look up the road when I'm expecting deliveries. I have it added to my Synology NAS drive which is storing a few days worth of footage. I can control it via Synology of their own app.

Probably better ones out there, but for the money this did everything I hoped for.

Thanks for the suggestion! I could be wrong but it doesn't seem to have a recording feature (which is the No.1 most important thing we seek at the moment).

The above Yi camera can record. In two ways:
- It can record constantly to a built in memory card (you need to buy separately, but cost about €20).
- It records to the cloud 6 second videos when motion is detected.

The latter option can also be extended with various subscription plans.

This camera is also waterproof and has nightvision. Installing it is pretty easy as long as you can get power to it, but you need strong wifi to work properly.

If you want to get someone to install security cameras for you, then you need to look at traditional CCTV setups. This can only be done be a certified installer and the price is likely to be quite a bit more then those ring cameras.

If I buy something like this

Can I wire it and install myself or do I need an Istaller with some sort of Cert? the camera will only record part of land that are my property or people entering my property.

Wire it yourself all you need is a drill. No need for a licenced installer it's your own land
