Indoor security cameras

Cromulent · 6 Jul 2019 at 17:20

I'm looking to buy three indoor security cameras. I require that the footage should be of reasonable quality. They should be motion-activated, connect to my wireless network and save to SD Card but they should also transmit to a mobile phone if they detect motion.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good model? I'd be prepared to pay more for a better quality camera. I don't need the cheapest one.

Take a look at the Reolink offerings.

I know you've said not the cheapest one, but the Neos Smartcam is a fantastic bit of kit at £25 delivered. Basically the UK version of the Wyze (same Xiaomi hardware) but with different firmware and app.

another vote for xiomi Yi

I see they are doing a full wireless home kit now complete with door, window and rooms sensors as well as a wireless camera

What use is saving to an SD card? Break in, take camera, no footage?

I'd recommend the Blink XT cameras that are on sale at Amazon at the moment. Get a twin pack for £90 on sale so get a couple of those. Battery operated, app notification of motion and upload to the cloud automatically.

I've just taken home insurance with Neos and they supply some free cameras and sensors. It's being delivered today. Not sure i'll use them as i have Nest cameras but it's pretty cool.

Been using the neos for a while. They have got better but still not great. Get nest cams if you want decent indoor cameras.

Got a Nest in a sale on Saturday to tide me over until I can get some Hikvision installed and I am very impressed with it
