CCTV home security cameras recommendations

Personally I wouldn’t bother with wireless systems . Go for wired systems, usually wired in CAT6 cable. You have 1 CAT6 cable to each camera.

Don’t be fooled by the eBay specials that are cheap. If it’s on your own house go for a good system like HIK vision. Been around for years and pretty much industry standard.

Just another bit of advice, if you’re having CAT6 cables installed get them to add some extra that can be used for WIFI access points in various parts of your house.

If you want I can ask about for you, but you need to pay good money for a good system.

what's the problem with wireless? the eufy system works perfectly for me

Nothing wrong with wireless systems if it suits you. But they’re more of a DIY system.

I’ve been involved in the security and electrical trade for over 30 years. And I’ve gone for the professional system in my own home as it suits me better.

Intruder alarm systems are better hard wired, but there are some good wireless systems on the market now.

yes I also have an alarm system that is wired in.
there is no wired doorbell though and I didn't want to bother running wires to the outside so I just went for wireless.
anyone approaches the house and me and my girlfriend get notifications on our phone.
that pretty much rules out an affair with the girl next door, but that's about the only downside I can see so far
