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.

Now let’s all calm down and return to the topic.
This is not about gun ownership or use, but about surveillance cameras.
These cameras, if we are honest, are mostly there to conveniently check what is happening or has happened around and inside the house from one location (also often when absent).

It only depends on the ammunition and caliber :p even a hit anywhere would be enough.
I’m not in favor of our gun laws and overregulation/bans (in all areas).
Still, a firearm will rarely solve a burglary situation. Who would keep a loaded gun in a nightstand with children around, etc.
The only effect would be deterrence if some criminals happened to die.
But even that is not allowed for the police. Also, ammunition that isn’t truly man-stopping...

How likely is a break-in?
While you are at home?
And not, for example, caught off guard while sleeping?
And still having enough time to reach the gun safe?
All of this in a stressful and frightening situation?
I recall the well-known case of Oscar Pistorius. He claimed to have mistaken his girlfriend for an intruder. Unfortunately, he received only the standard minimum sentence of 15 years in prison for the murder.
It was not Germany in this case, but the punishment for this offender should have been harsher.

I don’t think it’s very likely.
But why are my options to defend myself being taken away more and more?
And politicians are once again granting themselves free rein for gun ownership—just for their own circle.
I have owned firearms for 40 years, have provided personal protection for politicians (of course with a weapon), served Germany (with a weapon), and now my ability to defend myself in a self-defense situation (such as a home burglary) is being gradually removed. Not because I am incapable of it, and not because they doubt me. The only logical explanation is protection of offenders!
