steve_b_wales Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Does anyone have the above fitted in their home, and, if so, what's your opinion on them? I'm looking for a security camera (battery) to overlook my back garden etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for a security camera (battery) to overlook my back garden etc. Yes, I have 6 battery Rings covering the gardens and front door. The only snag that I have found is changing the battery on the two, mounted just below the gutter, every other month. I used to just go up a ladder to do it, but now cannot. One is within easy reach of the window, the other is changed when the window cleaner calls and does it for me. The video quality is exceptional and we have spotted more wildlife than we expected in the garden at night. We have a mains power camera in the kitchen, switched off during the day, which keeps an eye on our dog. The Stasi have nothing on me 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intend to fit one on the brickwork by the side of a tilt and turn window, which would allow easy access to change the battery etc. I have a fully fitted burglar alarm fitted to my home with all entries/exits (including windows) protected. Motion detectors are in most rooms, and the one in my kitchen is programmed to allow my dog to be in there.

welsh1 Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 I have one for the front door, battery only takes a minute to slip out and charge, you can buy a spare to replace it with, but i charge it up on a day i am working from home and can answer the door. Good picture quality and you can have a conversation with anyone who is there from your mobile phone. Very simple to fit and mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Clavata Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Ring battery door bell/camera and a mains powered Ring camera over the garage. I have also just fitted a couple of Reolink solar powered 4G cameras into our horse stables (monitoring the horses not intruders), seem pretty good and they also do a host of products that are wifi enabled.

Very pleased with my Reolink cameras. Build quality seems very good, image clarity and colour are excellent, the after sales back-up is also very good, any problems are answered very quickly.

vmaxphil Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 I have a eufy solar camera, only had to change it once in 2 years, quality seems OK cost about £99 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 Not aware of any of this stuff but was once told that if not hard wired in a £20 bay special could knock them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrisman Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 I find them OK but one does steam up making it unusable sometimes due to condensation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
