Steve in Mass Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Had a house intrusion about two weeks ago. Nothing horrible, but very bizarre and very creepy....but that is a whole other story (Who takes a jar of pickles, a container of ice cream, a jar of coconut oil, a jar of Vaseline, a pair of used $7 sweatpants and leaves their own nearly brand knew Adidas pants in their place, and a bunch of other silly stuff, yet leaves an obvious envelope of a few hundred dollars in cash laying right on the table?) Anyway, want a camera for less than say $70. I have found a bunch of wireless ones in that range, but am unclear as to what I need to make it work. Best I can tell, with some of them, they can be WiFi and I am hoping that I can get that to my laptop, as I do NOT own a Smart phone or other such device. Teach me please......

Cpalms Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 You are going to be frustrated trying to go super cheap. $70 is super cheap. For outdoors the right way to do it is to replace outdoor lights with something like the Ring outdoor camera with flood lights $250. Power is always better. Also, you want to stay in the same ecosystem, like only buy Ring products or only buy Nest products. The Arlo wireless stuff is supposed to be good but way more expensive. That kid that broke into your house probably ate about 10 edibles an hour before he broke in. sbcbmx112 and GarbageFish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Lippen Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Steve, let's call a spade a spade here and tell the truth to us so we can perhaps be of more help. A "home intrusion" is when someone not invited enters your home via an unlocked door or window. A "break in" implies a locked door or window. Since you typed home intrusion, I'm guessing the former. So, cameras are great, but a locked door is cheaper. I quote things above only to explain the difference, not to mock or make fun of you. I have ben the victim of a home invasion myself. Believe I posted about it here. I was home at the time. Give me a call. Please. GarbageFish and JimW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishbucket Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 No alarm system ? Ive got Simplysafe. Alerts right to my phone and I pad. Catches motion on the side of the house and if I look over the couch I can see them driving away, it alerts that fast. Just took this picture now while I'm on the IPad.

jmlandru Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 You are better off, Steve. Some of that stuff is bad for you. Seriously get a cell cell phone so you can check the cameras from any where. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Mike Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 I think the larger question is why did he have his pants off and what did he do during that time. "Depend not on fortune, but on conduct." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you do with Vasoline and a jar of coconut oil... and no pants? FizzyFish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
