scrimshanker Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Hi all I was wondering now Ring have introduced their professional range of cameras (same as their consumer range but with extended warranty and no subscription fee for recording), Could these be an easy cctv system for domestic customers? 1 Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/44190-ring-cameras/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Ring, blink, and all the other cheap tat is better than the old tvl systems with a VCR, but at the moment its a long way from proper CCTV. James has a test Blink system and it is mildly impressive for the money, if 5 secs of video motion every time someone visits your house or when go out or you come home is enough for you.

sixwheeledbeast Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 At least with Micromark and a VCR you knew where the footage was stored and could be viewed from, even if it was cheap DIY grainy tat... It's too late arguing with a cloud platform if your data was lost, stolen or they sold your info on, your trapped to whatever T&C's they feel like.

scrimshanker Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 the ring picture is 1080p and the recordings are 30's long or more for motion. and there's no recording device to be stolen on site by would be invaders! seems a better option in some respects to tradition cctv. granted you can be far more precise with tradition as ring is a one size fits none but ease of install and quality app goes a long way 1 Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/44190-ring-cameras/#findComment-506015 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Motion is not reliable for external environments and your completely missing the point of having your own data with no reliance on third parties. You say about the recorder being stolen, seems like the opinion of someone who would have CCTV without an alarm (increasingly common). Security is all about layers and this DIY type stuff contributes very little to this, it has an application for some people but it's not "security" like the way they market it.
