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 can already see: wild stories, no real knowledge.
Many people, faced with an unfamiliar device, are simply fearful and would like to ban it outright.
Okay, many do not ride motorcycles and would prefer to ban those as well.
Keep in mind: Austrians are allowed to use them. And despite the large number of firearms (in Germany there are about 4 million legal and around 6 million illegal firearms, so there is no shortage), some Austrians have managed to survive. Incredible!
This is comparable to dangerous motorcyclists (I also ride a high-powered BMW).
It would be better, when it comes to things you don’t know, not to immediately call for bans but to educate yourself first.

I only have a gas pistol for now, I think it’s better than nothing.Hello bernyLeave that baby in the closet. Use a good pepper spray (in Germany, intent to carry counts, so you have fear of dogs), which you can safely use against attackers and it is effective.

Schimi179130 Mar 2021 12:55I think some people here aren't thinking clearly!
There are hardly any groups of drug addicts who shout from 10 or 20 meters (33 or 66 feet): "Hey, we're coming closer and want something from you!"
What do you think would happen if every fool here were allowed to carry a weapon openly?!

Leave that baby in the closet. Get a good pepper spray (in Germany, carrying it is based on the intention to carry, so you are afraid of dogs), which you can safely use against attackers and it works.
StevenHi Steven, no problem:
1. The gas pistol is more of a keepsake; I don’t even know if it still works after 4 years? It’s more for peace of mind in the car.
2. I also have pepper spray; we go hiking a lot around the village and some people let their dogs run surprisingly far ahead of them; thankfully, I’ve never had to use it, and
3. Luckily, we live far out in the countryside, the story with the 3 junkies I just imagined for big city residents. You really can feel sorry for them, considering what sometimes happens there... it’s terrible.
@Schirmi1791: Who are you, that you publicly call people with different opinions “every idiot” right away? Quite presumptuous, my friend! That’s not how a discussion culture should be.

Politicians are allowed to do so, even though they are more often exposed to drugs.
Unforgettable is Mr. Özdemir, who proudly displayed his drug plants on his balcony.
Or Volker (Cristal Met) Beck.
And apparently, carrying a loaded weapon in a handbag is common among the Green Party members.
But they are also the same.

During my military service, I definitely had to shoot with a pistol; result: the shorter the distance, the better. My best accuracy was at about 10 meters (33 feet); beyond that was rather disappointing. Now I only have a gas pistol, which I find better than nothing. I can neither do Judo nor Karate. But everyone has to decide for themselves. The fact is: cameras do not offer real protection. Okay, so as expected, no experience with tactical shooting. Naturally, you’re more accurate at close range, especially with a handgun. But it’s about the time someone needs to cover the distance towards you before you even realize the situation. Then you have to draw and be composed enough for a hit (because that’s all it is) to land even roughly. Chance = 0 if you don’t practice this weekly, and even then, it is very unlikely to be a disabling shot. What you intend works at best in your imagination. We could discuss this for hours... but what was the topic of this thread again?
