Elite Floodlight WiFi

Don't know much about Ubiquiti nowadays. Had it years ago, then it crapped out so I moved on to Reolink I like reolink much better, especially since i can store the videos on my NAS. I know the website says it integrates with Google Assistant... but I don't use that either. It does have what you wan

Detering a theft beats preventing an actual theft IMHO. Psychology. You want them to pick a different target. You can get cheap-enough Reolink PTZ cameras - ones that move - so the theif really knows and feels they are being watched. Have it set up so the floodlight on the camera turns on when a per

Reolink flood cameras give you the ability to select the brightness of flood lights, from 0 to 100. If you can I'd recommend the PoE Duo Flood but if wiring is an issue you can go with the Solar/battery flood. Put an SD card in one of these and not only will have you a deterrent with the light, you'

I'm a fan of the Reolink line. Almost any of the Duo Floodlight models will do what you want, and with an SD card onboard it'll record even if someone manages to mess with WiFi, so you can retrieve the recording later. I do recommend PoE and an NVR, though. The Elite is another option.

The UI and features are good, but you feel like you won the lottery everytime a camera manages to actually connect when you try to view it in the app. I switched from Wyze indoor cams to Reolink after I got my doorbell.

With 3 180 cams and two other cams I have overlap and can live with blips. I lost 1.5 minutes 3 random times today on my WiFi Duo3. 1.5 minutes once on

Do not use dome protected cameras in outdoor environments. You will have issues. I don't think the 843A in the backyard is needed at all since you have a Duo covering everything. I'd swap all the Duo 2 for Duo Elite Floodlight PoE. Because the Duo 2 only detects up to like 40 feet or something like

It would be far better to go with plugged in wi-fi cameras, battery powered cameras are nearly useless. The best wi-fi camera provider atm for residential use is Reolink. Best battery powered camera is Reolink Altas models. Best Wi-Fi plugged in camera is CX410W. Those 2 are color night vision camer

Yes, Reolink is your best bet for Wi-Fi cameras for residential use. That's because they have the best Wi-Fi cameras at the moment (battery powered/plugged in) and also because you can connect some of them to Wi-Fi 5 and even Wi-Fi 6, so that's more stable. For your doorbell: Reolink Wi-Fi (hardwire

You can absolutely integrate Reolink cameras with Home Assistant and they are like the #1 choice to do that, they are the most compatible cameras in the market with Home Assistant right now I believe. You can also do frigate but bear in mind if you are planning to do this you would need a very power
