Home security ideas
Has anyone installed their own video based home security system? I'm not sure what system to buy...any recommendations would be appreciated.

I installed an 8-channel NVR system after a break in. It's made by Annke, which is rebranded Hikvision but with a local presence in Socal. It has been very reliable and has all the features I wanted. My advice would be to choose a POE system and avoid the retail brands at big box stores. You want something that's made by Hikvision or Dahua, who makes the vast majority of the cameras and systems out there.

Notice the video goggles. Let fly with a few rounds and no criminal will ever darken your doorstep again.

I suggest you do your research, there is no one size fits all, it also depends on what you want to spend.
As you go into the higher end of things, it starts to get complicated and setup is not plug and play. My Hikvision NVR and cameras were not easy to setup, and is no silver bullet, takes a bit of fiddling around.

I'm thinking it would be fun to have cameras that switch a spotlight on when they pick up motion. The light would follow the source of movement. Maybe add a voice saying "smile! smile!"

I'm currently looking at this unit: https://us.ezvizlife.com/item/Everyday-1080p/257.html Simple, inexpensive, wired monitoring with smart phone monitoring and alerts. I'm not quite to the point of wanting window sensors, motion detectors, and alarm center monitoring. I think an upgrade from my current Nest cam to multiple hard wired cameras is a good first step. |
