Good evening,
I would like to get some surveillance cameras. Unfortunately, there are so many offers available, with some costing 1500 euros and others 300 euros, even though I hardly see any difference between some of them. Therefore, I wanted to ask if anyone has a lot of knowledge or experience with a good set.
I would like to have 4 cameras for outdoor use. They should have Wi-Fi, as I don’t want to run cables everywhere, and offer live streaming to a smartphone via an app or another method. Additionally, an optional alarm that can be activated—preferably only at night—would be useful.
The problem is that I don’t want the cameras to be immediately noticeable on my house, so ideally they should have a black housing. I plan to hang them on my balcony and point them toward my house. The sidewalk will also be recorded since my property extends to the street, so there should be no legal issues.
I’m willing to spend up to 500 euros if that is feasible. I hope someone can help me as soon as possible because frequently teenagers cause trouble right in front of my house. For example, every year on New Year’s Eve, someone throws a firework into a stone trash bin that is located in front of my house. EVERY YEAR THE SAME THING. Now I’ve had enough and plan to go to the police this year with hopefully good video evidence.
Thank you very much for the help.

Hello
I have, among other things, some wildlife cameras installed in my garden. They are hardly visible. Nowadays, there are some with Wi-Fi transmission. A few years ago, I recorded two men in front of my terrace at 3:30 a.m., unfortunately wearing balaclavas.
I have two Netatmo cameras on the terrace. They are very good. I programmed them not to record me or turn on any lights, but they do for strangers. They also do not react to cars or animals. I really like these two.

We have an upcoming site visit with the window installer. I will take another look at mushroom head bolts and lockable handles then. Cameras don’t seem to be the most practical solution for me right now.
Laminated safety glass (VSG) might only be installed in the basement window with the adjoining light well, mainly because I’m worried something might fall through there and I want to prevent break-through.

A brief update from me: We are using RC2N for all areas not directly facing the street or easily accessible—this also includes the windows above the carport with lockable handles.
The basement window with the light well will be RC2, which means it will have safety glass. The rest is standard triple glazing. According to police statistics, I believe only 6–8% of burglars break all the glass to get into a house, mainly in inner-city areas.
I have decided against installing cameras for now and hope that burglars will choose the neighbors instead. They didn’t use mushroom-head locks on their windows. 🙂

You can assume that the typical home burglar does NOT break your glass window but rather pries open doors or windows with a screwdriver or similar tool. The mentioned 6-8% of glass breakage cases would likely be viewed very differently if examined in detail rather than just statistically. Try breaking or smashing triple glazing yourself without seriously injuring yourself.

Two years ago, my brother actually had the glass of the lift-and-slide door on the terrace broken, but only after they failed to open it with a screwdriver. Last year, they took their time at our place and pried open the RC2-rated door, completely destroying it in the process. Where there's a will...
