Spec me smart CCTV

omnomnom · 28 Jun 2021 at 08:12

Morning,

There seems to be loads of options for smart cctv systems but....what in your opinion is the best? Id prefer it to work with the amazon family of products as thats what I have currently but open to anything really. There is no budget as such...just no silly numbers. Ive seen blink mentioned a lot but id prefer to ask people who actually have these systems.

I want 3 cameras, a doorbell and i want it to have the ability to alarm me if someone is around my house between certain hours...is this possible?

Thanks

Didn't Amazon buy Ring? Therefore wouldn't they be the best option?

I have a Nest indoor cam (mainly for puppy monitoring) that works with my Google devices.

We've got 5 Ring cameras (doorbell, and 4 external floodlight cams) and swear by them. Never had an issue.
