Thread: Home Security videos & equipment

I have no experience but in my research I would go with a Unifi system.

Oh, and friends don't let friends use Swann.

In reality it depends if you are after IoT toys or actual CCTV cameras that produce reliable and useful footage. If you just want the "placate the wife" factor, then any of the Eufy, Arlo or equivalent toys will look acceptable (until you need the bit of footage the motion detection missed). If you want real CCTV then the lowest down the barrel you want to go is something like Hikvision or Dahua. Not a fan of either, but you can't argue the value proposition. Moving up to real CCTV then is a decent step up in $$$.

If you want results, cooperation with the local Police is essential also.
