          It depends on how often they detect movement and activate. If it's in a quiet location and doesn't see movement often, easily a few months. But in a high traffic area would be less.

          Google: 3 words: Do no evil.

          "Bwww… ha. ha ha hahah haaaaaa!"

          It took a while, but their lawyers forced them to got rid of that mantra, because…

          Their core business is evil

          • they collect mass surveillance data
          • are omnipotent and omnipresent on most devices on most people, most of the time
          • they share with other actors doing all sorts of things
          • they employ AI, ML and actively develop automated methods to monetise and commoditise 'their resource' (us)
          • advertising, partners in crime, avenues for abuse

      • tariqsaleem on 13/10/2022 - 17:25

        Dont have experience with the rest but I went with Eufy after a lot of reading etc. Very happy with it so far. the motion detection can be better and it struggles to distinguish between humans and animals but thats about it when it comes to issue. The app works well, i get timely notifications. The integration with google home is useless as it takes too long for the actual video to start if that is something that is important to you.

        The main reason for going with Eufy was better rates and then on top no monthly subscription.

    • Heybargain on 11/10/2022 - 19:17

      I moved from the ring to eufy cam. Alerts seem quicker on the eufy and bonus of not needing to pay a subscription. Also battery has lasted way longer than the ring. These cameras act more of a deterrent and the my eufy are mounted pretty high up so if someone wanted to come by with a ladder to reset the device so be it. Very happy with the eufy so far.

    • stingy-oz on 11/10/2022 - 21:46

      I have same Ring camera setup at front of the house along with a Ring Doorbell 2. Setup linked event and works fine. I find the event alert is little lag but it does it's job. Paid for the yearly subscription and let it be.

      Recently had to use a Wyze cam but returned it (Thanks Amazon!) because it's not working the way it described. I need to have 24/7 recording regardless of availability of wifi, which Wyze cam cannot do. It will record ONLY when there's internet. so it's a no go for me.

      Moved to use Reolink records great to sdcard on a schedule without any subscription. Also gives me a impression that the event alert is slightly faster than Ring cam by maybe 0.3s. not a huge margin i would say.

      I would say, think clearly before getting into one or the other system as each have their own pros/cons. I would have used Reolink throughout if I known it earlier but regardless i'm not regretting it.

      • Kontiki on 12/10/2022 - 10:07

        Are you sure about the Wyze Cam? I have two of them, both are recording 24/7 on their SD card. This is separate from their cloud event recording.

        So even if the internet is down they are still recording on their SD card + I can review the recording later.
        What I don't know is if I can access the camera's via Wifi if the internet is down.

    • Sharp on 11/10/2022 - 22:32
      +2

      I've got a ring and eufy so I can only compare them. Ring has a wider angle, is quicker to start recording and alert but not reliable. It disconnects randomly and sometimes you can't just retrieve videos. Eufy detects and starts recording later but much more reliable. Always connects and retrieves videos, plus it doesn't have an annual fee.

    • aec on 11/10/2022 - 23:52

      i forgot another brand, arlo? any comments?

      • kasp on 12/10/2022 - 07:46
        +2

        The main plus with the ring is ease of use.

        You will get tech specs and ring doesn’t do well in most but the ease of setup etc makes up for it.

        Dealing with a proper security setup and realistically you need to spend a lot more on storage and surveillance stations and you need to maintain it.

        Ring while not perfect there is far less chance of it just being offline when you need it through lack of maintenance.

        Shame about the lack of constant recording though. Ring you are paying for convenience and it is fairly decent overall.

  • gaz3342 on 11/10/2022 - 18:03

    • Rikmartin on 11/10/2022 - 18:15

    Deal breaker that you have to get a Ring Protection Plan at either $50/ year for each camera for $150/ year for bundled. No local storage. That's uncapped ongoing expense.

    • LowRange on 11/10/2022 - 19:59

      It's not a deal breaker, but it's worth noting. $150/yr when you have several cameras, getting off site secure video storage along with lifetime warranty of all cameras is not bad.

    • wombat81 on 11/10/2022 - 20:35

      Not a deal breaker. Just depends what you want out of your cameras. Plenty of people would be happy to pay that to avoid the hassles that come with cheaper options.

    • anawth on 11/10/2022 - 20:28
      +4

      I have both a ring and reolink with solar.
      I find the ring to be slower to respond (it's not hard wired and is further from the WiFi), but the reolink traditionally more flakey to check while away. That seems to have changed in a recent firmware upgrade though.
      Overall I would go with reolink though as it has a free storage option (but tries to annoy you into paying for it by making you renew each month) and there's no need to charge it if not hardwired. I find picture quality to be better too.

  • JoeSchmogan on 12/10/2022 - 11:18

    Can you use this without paying subscription? I.e only live video and perhaps a tiny amount of cloud storage for free?

    • wombat81 on 12/10/2022 - 11:53

      You can, but it won't auto record events. It will notify you of movement, and you can use the app to get a live view, but that's it.

    • Roney on 12/10/2022 - 19:16

      Yes, and you can download the video within a week without subscription. Due to house design, I have 10 Ring cams with 2 inside. They all respond reasonably well and the batteries outlast the Arlo's. The reason for the Amazon sale is a radar-based Ring spotlight cam is coming soon.

      • JoeSchmogan on 12/10/2022 - 21:20

        So it will store notification videos for a while, and you can scroll back, say 2 hours, to when it saw movement and recorded? And you have 1 week of that free?

        Sounds similar to the google nest cams my friend got.

        • wombat81 on 13/10/2022 - 10:59

          This isn't the case. Without a subscription it won't auto-record video at all. It will notify you of movement only (not person detection) and it's up to you to open the app and manually record whatever is going on. I'm not sure how long the manually recorded videos stay in the cloud for.

          Conversely, with a subscription, you get a notification of either "movement" or "person detection" and the camera will auto-record for your pre-set time period (between 15 and 120 seconds). You can retrieve that video at any time. You can also go into the app and manually record at any time and that video will always be available.

          Without a subscription these camera are really only good for "monitoring", eg checking in on your property when you want/need to. If you want detection and auto record features, you have to pay for a subscription.

          • JoeSchmogan on 13/10/2022 - 13:47

            @wombat81: Ok thanks heaps for clarifying. I think when we pull trigger, will probably go with a wired Reolink system and do a proper setup. Also less privacy/data concerns

      • harisjd on 12/10/2022 - 21:23

        @Roney Can you please confirm that without paying a subscription all the video footage from the cameras is available albeit not immediately but after 7 days?

        • wombat81 on 13/10/2022 - 11:01

          Without a subscription video is available for a period of time, but I'm not sure how long. But as I said above, be aware that, without a subscription, the camera won't auto-record an event. The only way you get video is to open the app (for example, when you get a movement notification, or if you just want to check in) and manually record live video.

        • Roney on 13/10/2022 - 19:17

          I think @wombat81 is right. I didn't realise the video recording arrangement has changed since Amazon bought over. Prior to that, I used to be able to get up to 7 days of free auto-recording footage. I took up the annual subscription as I was away for extended period of time.

      • thestig on 12/10/2022 - 21:29

        I read some reviews that said that when they detect movement they only record for 30 seconds and then stop even if the person is still there and moving. Is that correct or have you found any way around this? Sound like it wouldn't capture what you need.

        • wombat81 on 12/10/2022 - 21:32

          You can set how long they record for between 15-120 seconds. After that if it detects movement it will record again.

          It's an agreement with US Police, utilising an app called neighbours which still requires a warrant- which is not available in Australia. It might be worth reading your own link.

          We have very different laws here.

            -3

            @ONEMariachi: I did read my own link. They took people's private security camera footage and handed it over to law enforcement without their consent and without a warrant for that specific footage, and without the warrant ever coming to the attention of the 'owner' of the cameras until after the fact. There is absolutely no reason to think that they wouldn't do the same thing elsewhere, or for other purposes. Also, there is no such thing as "US Police", so this is effectively them cutting a bunch of deals with thousands of different organisations to share your data. Finally, the article specifically states that in certain circumstances they DO share your data without a warrant.

            Anyway, people can draw their own conclusions. Personally, I would never purchase a Ring product because of this sort of thing. It strongly suggests an attempt to monetise your private video by striking deals with third parties without your knowledge or consent.

      So I'm guessing you don't own an iphone for the same reason?

        Correct, I do not own an iphone. Although I will say that Apple at least pushes end-to-end encryption and the like.

          👍

          Are you saying Ring doesn't?
