We got an Amazon ring doorbell. Think was only about £60. Quite impressed with it! Notifies the app whenever anyone walks past the front door and also films them. Obviously not as good as proper cctv or alarm system, but a good little bit of kit

Bought it on Amazon, lights up my drive and notifies me when someone is on it so I can see. I’m planning to hook it up to a pc when I get one so it records all the time which apparently you can do…..Quote:

Then we also have an alarm which when set by either the box by the door (number
Key pad) or on the app. They basically put sensors in key positions inside the house covering doors and windows and an extra sensor on the front door (basically any entry point) and should any of them sense motion or if the front door is opened (forced or otherwise) then the alarm goes off if it’s set on ie if you leave the house, night time etc.
amazons Blink setup is decent
the bell is 40 quid, you can see who is at your door
if you want to record all of it, you needs the synch module, which is £35 quid, but you can add upto 10 devices to that module ( so a few camera's etc etc ) and the module will record to a USB stick :thumbup: you can also save it to the " cloud " for 2.50 a device, or 8 quid unlimited ( per month )
bell battery lasts for 2 years they say, on 2 AA batteries
if you are going with the Blink, the inside min camera are 25 quid ( people stick them In the window pointing out etc ) or the outside cam are 60 quid
very easy to setup
I do have slight issues with the non-cloud option though, someone could break in, be seen by the camera's then steal the Synch module ? ? ? but they wouldn't know its cloud based either, so I guess its a visual deterrent
I had it block paved too…..:wave: I’m phucked nowQuote:

What's wrong with a basic sensor alarm with a password ?
Running for local MP ehQuote:
