Hey ,

I need a new security camera but there are that much different (for me completely unknown) brands & models , have no idea.
Has anyone model or brand suggestions ?

important points ;
1.) Outdoor - a small corridor which end at my door.
2.) Wired - power & Lan cords exists.
3.) Maybe dual camera or wide angle .
(would like to see the face while walking to my door but want to see what he do at my door too. Camera position is at top of the door ).
3.) Easy recording option. ( SD card / USB stick , direct SDD connection or a small cheap main station for 3-4 cameras…).
4.) Not completely addicted to manufacters viewer apps / programs that it won’t became unusable after support / updates end.
5.) Night view (Would like IR) , motion or face detection & start of recording event then .
6.) No must have but would like to have a microphone & speakers to talk , remote access & contacting me. Maybe connected to door bell too.
(for parcel delivering …..)
And better through browser/messenger , not apps with limited lifetime.
7.) energy efficient
8.) Like dome cameras more , (best with dark tinted glass dome - can’t see camera Motion - direction ).
9.) 40$ - 300$ for all. ( 1 camera + if needed the main station )

thank you much.
nice day ,
benji


thank you.

Forget motion detection.

I've been screwing with that for years.
'Outside' is a chaotic place. Everything is moving, all the time.

Clouds, neighbors cat, leaves, flag, car headlights at night.....
One night, I had 3 hours of a spider spinning her web right on the camera.

I just have mine saving 24/7, keep for 45 days.
Recording in 15 minute chunks.
