Hello,

do you have cameras installed to monitor your house? Wired or wireless? The wired option seems safer to me. What kind of cables should be prepared for this?

I would appreciate any suggestions and information.

Regards

Cameras should be connected via cable and placed on a separate network (e.g., VLAN). They should be protected by an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and have offsite backups.

Installing cameras in the attic is usually not very effective—they should be able to recognize faces. Planning requires more effort than just looking at the price. Factors such as height, distance, and angle are important.

Good cameras cost money. However, they offer features like better motion detection, night vision, and smooth transitions.

Motion detection should not run on the NAS or NVR.

Examples of good cameras include Mobotix or Axis.

Access to the NAS is best set up via VPN. Quickconnect is not recommended because the bandwidth is too low. Alternatively, open a port and connect the camera system to a separate network port on the NAS.

Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras often point in the wrong direction or require multiple overlapping units. Such cameras are also more expensive. It is better to use fixed cameras.

I recommend the Blink XT2 from Amazon. It costs 100 euros and is cloud-based. No installation work, no hassle, very reliable, and wireless since it uses Wi-Fi and a battery with a 2-year lifespan.

I am extremely satisfied.

It was about security. And cameras with Wi-Fi are not suitable for that.
Likewise, continuous recording with additional motion detection makes sense. That is not possible with battery-powered devices.
For occasionally checking around the house, the suggestion is acceptable, but it has nothing to do with security technology.

That is naturally true. But for a single-family house, it is usually sufficient. More is always possible.

It’s just a gimmick. You can just leave it out. Better to invest in a mid-range wired camera. It can be upgraded later. I also don’t want my recordings stored in a (third-party) cloud. Have you heard that employees of the big provider sometimes watch the recordings?
