Lets talk security cameras

Or, if you want to spend Intel money but has all the threads,

Get a 1950X Threadripper for $400.

It's a solid board. I've installed a few of them

My situation is that I want to have a couple cameras at the other house. That house has no internet connection and I don't want to as no one is there to use it.

I do have an old PC there. Is there some setup that can wirelessly stream to that PC from the cameras mounted whereever I want.

There have been a rash of thefts and the neighborhood recently and last week, the sensitivity on one of my motion lights was turned down to minimum.

Since this thread came up, I am quoting myself because I was at BB last night looking at their systems.

Again, I don't have intertubez at that house and I don't want to and all they had were systems that require some form of access to work. Is there something I could run that is simple, preferably wireless (other than power to the cameras), doesn't need to be uber high quality resolution, that is simple.

I just want 3 cameras. One I can mount on the garage, one inside facing the back door, one inside facing the front door.

Honestly I dont know if I would trust wireless cameras. As stated in this thread, Id get POE cameras and do it that way.

POE is power over ethernet. Basically it is your network/PC connection and power source. So its only one wire.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

So it sounds like I would need two systems then. The house and garage are separate. So if I wanted one on the garage, that would be one system. Then the other in the house.

This is why I was interested in wireless. For the camera on the garage to feed back to the base in the house along with the other two cameras.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

You can use wireless but you better have really good signal in the garage or it's just going to drop constantly.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

What is the average range on a camera then?

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

It's not the camera that has range..it's based on your router

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Are you meaning the router that is part of the camera system? Or a Wi-Fi router that I would have there, which I don't, as there is no intertubez access at that house since no one is there?

 

[Broke EF]

Wired or wireless need some kind of router. A modem is the device that connects to the internet, a router is what directs (routes) between all of the various devices, including a modem if there is one.

You need a wifi router to connect a wifi camera....

You don't need internet to have wifi or a network.

What are you trying to accomplish? If there is no internet, do you not plan on viewing the cameras remotely?

You can setup a LAN at the house and have the cameras either record to a NVR or some cameras have SD card slots... Put in a SD card and it will record to the card.

The issue with that is you either need to go to the camera and take out the SD card to view video, or have some sort of network (wired or wireless) to access the camera that would be connected to it.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Which is what I am trying to determine from this conversation.

I haven't had intertubez at this house for some three plus years. So all internet equipment was returned to Commiecast a long time ago. So their is no modem, no router, etc...

Does this camera system come with one (or a device similar)?

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I would be fine just reviewing an SD card.

I have a Cheapo Yi camera in my garage and the signal is fair. It works but it isn't speedy to load all the time. My issue is my fridge is located between the camera and the router.

WYZE cam is the cheapest option.

$20/camera + microsd card size.

I'd go 64GB+ minimum. Probably get 4 days on 64GB. First in last out is how it will work for recordings.

Might need to do some presetup on them where there is internet, but they should run stand alone as well by just plugging it in and slapping in an SD card..might need to use an app to setup

I've never bought one of the WYZE because I have much better cameras and think wifi is junk lol

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Got it, thanks. Again, I just want something simple.

Are those cameras recording 24/7? Or is their a motion detector thing that will start once it senses something?

The Guy at BB was saying Lorex, Swann, or Night owl I think, but everything he had was an internet based setup.

Gross to all those brands and internet is not needed. They are just box sets. BB only sells that shit.

Yes you should be able to continuous record with an SD card in them. At least according to their website

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Microcenter carries them

Nah the issue is it's a wifi camera. They all do that unless they are hardwired in.

I have one wifi camera....and it is wired

 

[CMNTMXR57]

That was gonna be my next question... Where to get them.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Well no this one is worse than the ones that arent blocked. My phone is slower in the garage than other places in the house.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I buy my Yi cameras from Amazon.

Full Disclosure I love the thought that some China spy sees my balls regularly.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Or the internet

I guess I meant a good reputable place.
