Great video, thanks
Hi, question? Do you have a video on a rural setup. At this location I’d like a setup with license plate/face recognition at distance of about 100ft and nighttime visibility. Mobile viewing half can be WiFi half wired thanks, nice video.
I’m always left confused about how to set it up.And which ones to buy?No matter how many times I listen to these videos. What is an average cost if you have someone install for you?Just a ballpark, if you could please. I’m in southern california.
I’m thinking of installing a eufyCam S3 PRO with 4 cameras. Listening to this video I’m a little concerned about the WiFi reach. Do you have any tips for testing for WiFi outside and around the house?
THANK YOU!!! This video was a tremendous help.
Hello, can you recommend any indoor Wi-Fi cameras that have no audio functionality? I need one for my mother’s nursing home room, but they will not allow cameras that have 2 way audio even if you can enable it.
How about linking this to an existing NVR?
Wired cameras won’t be any help if there is a blackout. I use solar powered and use the app so it’s always running even though a blackout
Are those lightbulb cameras any good?
Great info. Thank you
Moving into my new house that’s pre-wired. This was so helpful. Thank you so much!
het belangrijste vergeet je te zeggen, hoeveel licentie kost bij meer dan 2 camera s, of is dat gratis voor jouw? anders wil ik graag weten welke software je gebruikt
Other than Alibi, what other brands do you recommend I consider for wired NVR system?
First video of yours, you seem like a good dude. I’m trying to figure out a solution for my elderly parents who split time in the north and down in Florida. I have a eufy doorbell cam down there and they are able to watch and like it, but the app seems clunky. The northern house needs a multi-camera setup and it’s overwhelming. I run a homelab server and am a developer, but I really hate doing tech support for family. I really would love to have everything in one app so those solar eufy cameras might be the way to go. Thanks for the overview.
Excellent information & video. Still confused. I’m a truck driver, basically want to deter or report. I drive across country so I want them to see the cameras & move on or if not, record them. I don’t have internet at home just a mobile hotspot that travels with me, so I can’t have wi-fi cameras but the thought of drilling holes in my walls for wired camera makes me ill. I will be checking your other video for info & solutions but thx for this info
Home owner here looking for something and found this video most helpful. I am still struggling to figure out what I really need, but these were outstanding things to think about.
I removed my camera from my factory and installed them t my house and reboot them mistakenly now there’s no. Vedio the screen is empty .Wwhaat musst i do?
Australian here. Thank you, you just showed me all that I need to know.
Great video George. I dont have a system on my house in the country and Im ready to install one myself. I am a siding installer, recently I did a siding color change on a house, and removed the 4 cameras because they wouldnt match the new siding color. the cameras are like new and are flir PE133E. I want to do a wired system, should I buy a NVR and build a system around my free cameras, or do they have to be unlocked by password? I just want a simple 4 camera on the monitor system. thanks.
George thanks a lot 😂 great video ❤
Thank you! Love what you said at the end. A peaceful mind is priceless, being proactive is important, and knowledge is power.
George, im installing in a wet and winy Scotland. Really appreciate your guidance vdeo.
Can you perhaps elaborate on the camera IP rating. Ive tried IP44 and its not up to the weather. Now going for IP65. Do you have any preference ?
Looking for a system that will keep motion activated clips as well as available live viewing remotely when were not home but dont want cloud storage, i want all locally stored. How could we use an NVR system while getting alerts and live viewing remotely? Otherwise looking into ones with an SD card in the camera itself with viewing through the app. But if its viewable through the app, is it secure? Not in the cloud?
I currently have a old Arlo system. Once I plugged it in to power it will start recording 3 sec prior to an event happening. Now I installed the Eufy at my grandmother’s house and Eufy doesn’t do that. Is there a camera you recommend that does 24/7 recording or starts prior to the event? I am looking for wifi cameras. Thanks for any insight.

For the love of all things holy, I hope you go as "The Dude" for Halloween. Great Vid too!
This was 💯 thanks for the information. As the installer, i have learned a lot. Thank you
Can you list down the professional camera that you will recommend?
.
WiFi won’t be reliable if thieves are using wifi jammers right? I still can’t see why you would recommend wireless/WiFi when you know there’s so many thieves are using wifi jammers now. I know WiFi is easier to setup. Is there any WiFi camera that can block jammers?
It’s pretty basic, but works well for me.
Hi, whats your thoughts on Hikvision or Dahua NVR security system. Thanks for the info great video.
👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent comment
“ you get what you pay for “
That basically sums up everything.
Well done Sir! Thanks!
Really brilliant video, and answered many of my questions. In Australia is Hikvision our version of Alibi?
Why are so many Youtubers down on ring? My friends have two of them out in the country and they pay for a $10 plan because they want to monitor it and not have anybody else watching. Seems to work. They set it up themselves and it’s wireless and they can see the place.
That’s all I want. I want four cameras outside one inside my garage with ability for me to watch it while I’m inside or while I am remotely away. I want to be able to go back and look at past videos. I am not worried about the sophisticated high-tech criminal, I am more concerned about trespassers and thugs and I want to be able to see who when and where day or night
I will be my monitor and I will be my police. I don’t want anybody showing up automatically. I don’t want anybody calling me. I don’t want anybody looking through my cameras. I don’t need big brother, and if I want the cops, I will call them.
SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME THE SYSTEM THAT MEETS MY NEEDS …
Currently going through this porcess. Technology is so quick to evolve so this was very informative. Currently, I’m look into the Defender series. Any thoughts?
How’s the aosu solar camera?
All EXCELLENT tips and to the point! I love it when someone gets straight to the point. I’ve been using Reolink cameras for a number of years. Bought the cheapest one for hobby purposes and ended up with several better models and a total of 12 now. I’m a serious believer of wired and/or POE system. WiFi tends to be sketchy depending on your area (environment). Reolink has fairly decent cameras and they’re reliable but their home apps lack a lot of improvement…
Wow!!! I couldn’t even focus on the video!😊 your eyes are memorizing!! Reminds me of my dads! Other than that thanks for the video really helpful!!
So what are the brands to go with .
Top intro. Not to be missed.
legitimately the only reliable resource I’ve found so far. I understand that this question is a hail mary, but I’ve got to try: What are your recommendations for a security system that covers all of these aspects? I’m sure there are probably none that cover everything, and if they come close, I’m sure they’re not budget friendly whatsoever, but I had to ask!
Good video. I’ve done my share of installs myself. I agree with what you say, however. I just looked at reolink systems and they seem priced a bit less than lorex. I currently have a lorex 16ch, and it works. Not Poe. But it cost more than reolinks pop 8ch. 2k. I’m just curious as to why reolink seems on the lower side of cost? I just looked at there 4k poe 16 ch. And pretty shocked it’s under 800.
Another clasification -with or without SIM card.
Who should I have set up my cameras at home? Wired any good company’s?
Thanks
Do the outdoor cameras get stolen/vandalized a lot?
Ring has really let me down I’m in over 1k and the images are so blury if more than 3ft away. Such a waste of money. Now I need to upgrade!
In new house I moved into, they left behind 2 Wyze V3 camera’s and 1 Netgear Arlo.
This video is what I was searching for. Thank you.
very educational thankyou for posting this video.
