Invite him in and ask why he's intruding on your private space. If you dont mind his response let him leave, if you do mind his response smash him in the face with shovel you purchased from Amazon. Go for the strong handle version is my best advice. Circu £30. No need for overpriced security systems bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ainsley Harriott Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Ring is good would suggest that. Bit overly sensitive though goes off with vans putting a shadow on the lawn sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroondevo52 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Had a Ring for a while now, also handy for keeping an eye on the car and for telling the delivery guys where to put the parcels when your out 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You can get bother wired (just using existing doorbell wires) or wireless ones. Battery lasts 2 to 3 months for me. I bought a spare so I can just switch them without any "down time".

Cairneyhill Jambo Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I got a Reolink camera from Amazon. Fantastic quality. Solar powered and works through your WiFi so you can check your house at anytime. Really easy to install and about £80. It sends you a notification on your phone when someone sets it off. You can disable the notifications as well. Reolink Solar Security Camera Outdoor, Wireless Rechargeable Battery, Home CCTV WiFi IP Camera, 1080p Fun Time Lapse, PIR Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio, 128GB SD Card Storage, Argus Eco+Solar Panel https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07QQNRWK2/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_W2CTWZPZD6CDCNSGVG46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyBatistuta Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I’ve got Ring front and back garden and it’s been brilliant. I don’t understand why folks get a normal cctv camera that just records a video. What use is a fuzzy video of some wee scrotes in hoodies after they’ve already stolen your valuables. At least with a Ring system and similar, you can get the chance to react before or during the burglary. Quite a few friends have installed them in their businesses after recommending it to them. I haven’t ever heard them complain about getting it fitted either. On the fitting, it’s an absolute doddle to set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazo Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Another thumbs up for ring here. We have the doorbell and 3 wireless cameras that all work seamlessly. There are cheaper alternatives out there that will do a similar job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesie27 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Good thing to point out is that you also need to pay about £25 a year to be able to see any recordings made by Ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo89 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I've got the Ring and also an Amazon "blink" camera for indoors (doggy cam). Blink is fairly cheap and easy to fit, but would reccommend the Ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidence and identification mainly. Having the ability to view live is also available on modern cctv systems. For most though I’d imagine wireless solutions like ring, nest etc are more than adequate and very easy to set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmarkus1981_1 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I've got a battery one at the front door, like @hughesie27 with two batteries. Great when they work!!! I had dog walkers come to my front door, open the door (with a key), take my dogs and drive away. Ring camera = nothing, nada, zilch!!!

Thanks One I got is battery powered battery lasts months then rechargeable. Just attached it to the wall at your door. Has boundary sensors that alert you if someone is on your porperty. Two way mic as well so you can tell them to **** off from your phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
