Hi all, been looking at wireless security camera option with siren deterrence,as I'll be away working a lot. So far, I only know Arlo Pro fits all these criterias (though would like the siren to be at the camera).
Any other you guys would recommend??
I dare you to try them
Originality: 1/10
I’m super happy with my Arlo Pro setup. The siren comes from the base station as you know, but it’s pretty bloody loud!
But if the base in my study, it's not exactly gonna scare away the intruder at the door no ?
Mind I ask how much you got it for? hehe
I think I paid about 850 for the 3 camera kit. I have the base station upstairs in my office and it’s still loud enough downstairs to know it’s time to get out.
Are you only looking at "plug and play" options?
There are some devices out there with a "trigger" port - that is, whatever you set the camera to trigger at (movement, etc), that port can switch on whatever you plug in there - such as lights or a siren, etc. Those devices require a little more setup though.
Have you had a look at Blink XT Outdoor/Indoor Cameras? Not sold in Australia but you can still purchase on eBay/Amazon or using a US package forwarding service as I did. Apparently has the best battery life in this segment. Not only cheaper but also outlasts the rest(Arlo Pro, Swann, etc.) I've purchased two(and the sync module) and extremely happy about the performance. The App works fine in Australia.
Do not expect these cameras to record 24/7 unless you are planning to charge them every second day or willing to connect a permanent power source. They are motion activated and once triggered will record for a pre-determined period (5,10,15 seconds and so on and user configurable)before they go back to sleep. Saying that live video is also available from the app if there is a need to check what is going on at that point of time.
They also have the siren you are after. Recently Amazon bought this company so Alexa and IFTTT integration comes naturally!
