I hope they are listening to someone in the trenches who knows what folks want. All good suggestions.
You nailed it on the two way audio!
It’s 2024 for goodness sake. How do we not have a camera with good two way audio
eufyCam E330 are powered 4k wi-fi cameras with 24/7 recording, and thay use the same hub/app as their solar counterpart you liked so much.
Yes indeed. The E330 is a great camera.
A lot of companies have 247 recording including Swann, Hikvision and Unifi Ubiquiti that still marks detection points. They have other problems but the 247 recording is something that's been available for years.
Yes, all wired DVR/NVR systems offer 24/7 recording, that’s nothing new. But when I’m talking 24/7 recording (in this wishlist), I’m talking WiFi cameras.
My Wish List would include a variable pitch siren or warning tone. To keep from frightening the whole neighborhood, I'd like to hear a tone start out low, and over several seconds, work up to a higher volume. This would put the intruder on notice, and perhaps he would flee before your neighbor throws their shoe at your window! And once alerted, you could shut down the siren before it reached its peak.
That would be a great feature, depending on the location of the camera. The problem with sirens will always be frightening the poor random dog walkers or neighbors out for a stroll…close enough to set off the camera, but completely innocent and not deserving of a siren at any decibel. I really like the warning tone idea though. Something that gradually escalates…
Thanks for all the info!
I just installed 8 eufy cams (4 solar) and a homebase. I have a wired led flood light cam. Great residential system.
Awesome. Eufy is on a roll right now.
I agree completely that I want support for resolutions higher than 1080p. And I'd like much better audio quality, going in both directions. It'd be nice to have more cameras with optical-zoom capability, although I know that'd increase the cost. And of course there are several improvements I'd really like to see for HKSV. And these are improvements which I expect would not cost Apple all that much more to provide.
As I've said elsewhere I don't really care about 24x7 recording, because I just cannot trust my cable-internet connection for multiple 24x7 streams going to "the cloud". What I want is cameras going to local storage for 24x7 video. But what I'd like to then see is that if some event happens, then the video for "that event" should start maybe a minute before camera detected "some event" to a minute after the camera thinks the event is over. One of the other YT channels reviewed a car camera where if you run up to the car and bang on the windshield, the video which it saves starts 10-20 seconds before the "bang", so the recording includes video of the bad guy running up to the car. I think that'd be fine, and wouldn't require a 100% reliable 24x7 internet connection.
Yeah, that’s where a good wired NVR is far superior. As you have so much more control over the “pre record” & “post record” options.
Eufy & Reolink are probably the closest right now for wireless options, but whenever possible it’s all about the PoE cameras
Agreed (on all counts).
Will Poe be big for home or is that more for commercial/industrial use?
@FredR-cq4nw We install POE cameras on homes every day. It’s always my #1 recommendation.
As always, great job!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Thanks for the video. This is exactly what I've been debating about. I want 2 outdoor cameras that have all the features you suggested. I can't decide on what to do. The cameras each have their pros and cons. If I can get the camera into HomeKit through scripted or homebridge, I might have to accept that. Thanks again George.
You’re very welcome & thanks for watching!
George, this is going to be a long comment. If you're going to use a wi-fi camera system it has to be compatible with other wi-fi systems. Right now I'm using 3 wi-fi items. Item 1 is a wi-fi garage door opener. It works great except that the second wi-fi item interferes with it. Item 2 dash cam when I get in the vehicle and start it, the dash cam comes on and says "wi-fi Connected" now the garage door will not close as I drive off or open when I return. Item 3 is the sprinkler system I can also control it through wi-fi. So that's where I am and I can 't see wi-fi cameras benefiting me.
To tell you the truth I would like cameras that are POE powered and hard wired into the recorder. I'd like it to be connected to multiple monitors so if I'm in the office I can monitor the cameras same with the bedroom and living room. Anywhere there is a monitor/TV I'd like the cameras to pop up and have priority if I'm watching something and motion is detected. This might be the only application for wi-fi but an iPad might be the ticket for monitoring.
I'd love a POE doorbell camera with audio and still be able to use the existing doorbell button to activate it. It would be even better if it were a peephole camera for my application. Everything is on the inside and you don't have to worry about the suspect pulling the camera, memory card off of the wall. But there is a storm door in front of the main door so a remote speaker and mic would be needed. I would also like the doorbell camera to call my phone and let me see and speak with who's there.
As far as audio quality, every big store you go into has a PA system through the telephone system to make announcements "Kenny bring in carts, Jill open your register or Kevin,cleanup on isle 3" and we can hear it perfectly. A good amplifier and quality speakers make a world of difference. How many can remember CB radios with a PA speaker plugged in? You could hardly hear or make out what the person was saying but a cop gets behind you and you can definitely hear them. I had a friend who patrolled his pastures using an old vacuum tube intercom system back in the 50's. He insulated the center two strands of barbed wire from the post, clipped in with the speaker and could hear if someone was on his property. He could also talk back telling the person to get off his land. I think these Doorbell cam companies could provide better audio but their main goal is to provide ease of installation to someone who only wants to peel stick and download an app.
Sorry, I don’t know where to start with this comment. lol
So without writing a novel in return, I’ll just say, yeah, POE is always the most reliable way to go. 😋
Great video! What brand(s) would you suggest if i want wired and wireless outside?
I unfortunately don’t have a good WiFi (wireless recommendation). My suggestion will always be a good wired NVR system.
I have Eufy, Wyze & Kasa camera's. All we're bought with a full list of features. It seems after a while, I don't have a subscription. Features have gone away. IE will not notify of an alert or better yet, not save it for me to see. Is this what they are doing if you don't subscribe. & Are there models out there, that are good & still an honest value?
I am looking for one what is the best now for residential please and thanks
My recommendation for the best camera system for a home, will always be a wired NVR system. This is my favorite: czcams.com/video/uKrROE9WdmM/video.htmlsi=aVLMpzw5OYule7dc
Have you tried Wyze? I have them indoors and outdoors.
I have. I’m not a fan.
Piper was my choice, which is no longer in existence because of...well, you guessed it! Their competition was making demands on them...
I remember Piper! Had a few of their cameras on display at my old shop. They were very cool at the time.
George Langabeer Reolink is a pretty good camera system as well as Hikvision and Lorex.
Reolink is decent. Hikvision is banned by the U.S. Government, so I won’t touch their stuff. Lorex is pure junk….
Just my opinion. 😬
@@GeorgeLangabeer OK never knew that. Thank you for letting me know.
Wyze outdoor camera ant bad and I can go back and watch everything
Wyze cameras are cheaply made, lack in features and don’t get me started on their privacy issues…So for me, they are not even in the conversation.
My number 1 requirement is 24/7 recording. Nothing else is acceptable. I’ve been with nest since day 1 and you’re 100% right, Google ruined nest. They need a new camera and for Heaven’s sake they need to go back to usb. That proprietary plug is a step backwards. I’m wondering if 4K pulls too much bandwidth for WiFi? If that’s the case at least give us a 4K option if we are using a wired connection like they do with 24/7 recording. In April my nest secure is losing support. Have you heard if nest has a new security system coming out?
No news of a new security system & no concrete news of new cameras…unfortunately
Hello. What's wrong with HUE? Now I want to buy them and your categorical answer is scary. What's wrong with HUE cameras? Tell me, please.
Where do I start..way too expensive for the features & build quality. 1080p. Monthly fee. Horrible interface. No smart home integration…I could go on & on.
After I installed Ring I found out that I have to pay to keep the videos
I say this out of pure love & appreciation for you supporting the Channel…BUT, your mistake was installing Ring in the first place. Not a fan. 😬
Another important point you missed is FPS, 15 FPS is medieval. Minimum should be 30 FPS.
30fps would be a nice as a minimum, but unfortunately it’s not realistic when it comes to selling to the mass market.
The Google event in May and we will probably get nothing. A.i 4k Google doorbell and camera not much of a ask from a company like Google.
You are probably right (unfortunately). No, it’s not much to ask for. Come on Google. 🙄
@@GeorgeLangabeer I got tapo to try something different but you get what you pay for it's not great. And as you say in a lot of your videos nest is the only decent one . Thanks for your great advice 👍
You're right, google absolutely ruined Nest
Sad, but true.
I wouldn't use any home security made in China or made by a Chinese company
The key is to buy a system that is NDAA compliant. That will avoid the issues that you’re worried about.
lord have mercy dont get wireless. if you do better get internal camera storage a 100$ device can block your wireless devices from connecting to anything in around a 100ft radius of me
I’ve been doing this for 25 years and have helped thousands of people secure their home….never once have I had someone fall victim to someone using a “jammer”. People love to talk about them, but in real life, they are not commonplace. If someone is jamming your WiFi, you’re being targeted and you’ve got bigger problems to worry about than which WiFi camera you’re using.
I was thinking that I might be able to hack this problem a little. I was weighing the pros and cons of placing by placing something like the Aqara 2K Security Indoor Camera Hub G3 inside by mounting it in a window sill. No problem with theft, unless there's a home break-in. It has PTZ. You can plug it in nearly anywhere, maybe with an extension cord. HKSV. Obviously no two-way audio. Other comments or thoughts?
Certain times a day you won’t be able to see out the window because of the reflection. You may also have problems at night because the IR will reflect off the glass. If you’re going to do a camera in a window like that, it needs to be a camera that has some sort of “window mode”…which some do.
LISTEN TO GEORGE MANUFACTURERS!! DO IT !!!! WE ALL WANT IT!
lol. I’m glad you agree!
