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?

 

 

Professional Lol. Modern Micromark.

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.

I read a spec today 450tvl or better for the CCTV

 

Had me down as the maintainer, we got binned off 5 yrs or more ago ?

But the Co who they binned you off for where to cheap and have since gone bump.

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.

 

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

 

 

Just cut the phone line out of site

As more of this goes in cabs will start being attacked

But you can get this on some recorders let's s at basic him which will backup short snaps to one drive 

 

Why why are you all Muppets going on about ring ring ring 

 

Basically it's cheap DIY , which some are putting in as if they are some kind of trader of CCTV for devices which are DIY 

 

Be serious , ring is a door bell with a camera and flood light with a camera they make money from Muppets who want cheap which is fine because that's why it's a DIY product 

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.
