looking for wireless cctv system with fire detection
Hi all, i am seeking the guru's here as i am waaay out of my depth.I have been on the internet for the last few days looking for a home cctv system. but struggling to find what i am searching for. these include:
1)wifi and battery operated camaras with both motion
2) ios/android app to view live footage and send notifications for motion. also remote access
3) 2 way talk function
3) nvr for local storage
eufy and riing tick a lot of boxes but what are they like to live with?
is there a product out there that fits the criteria?it seems like such a saturated market atm that i'm struggling to comb out the rubbish.
an alternative to this would be to build a pc based system. if so is there software that can do all of the above with 3rd party camaras? Quick Q. What is the use case and mindset of employing a CCTV camera for fire detection?
Surely a more traditional tried and tested smoke and carbon monoxide detector would be far, far more reliable? A Nest smoke alarm can provide remote notifications. I know of a couple of companies who make fire detection cameras but they are specialist industrial cameras designed for high risk ATEX areas, prices start from around £3000 a camera and they are not wireless unfortunately. That's a valid point, i didnt think of a smart fire alarm. yeah i saw a few and the prices seemed steep, although very cool tech. ok so i revised the op. No worries, like @mushii said, sure some high end commercial/ industrial applications but waaay out of scope for home use.
Few more Q’s
How many cameras are you looking for?
Internal or external too?
Approx budget?
With the exception of local storage (free (limited) cloud). The Blink and Blink XT2 seem to tick most boxes. Really think about the strength of your existing network infrastructure to support the cameras. Furthermore think what you want from the system. In my experience, most wireless and battery operated cameras are barely fit for purpose.
For outside duties I have PoE wired Hikvision. Inside I use the WiFi Ezviz C6T. My network and WiFi infrastructure is really strong with many Ubiquiti AP’s etc. Would not be so sure if relying on ISP standard issue stuff. I am more interested in the external side for cctv, hence the wireless capability is desirable. I did not want to drill holes in the house and run cables etc.
It's generally more of a deterrent; however, if someone was to try and break in, i'd like to have notifications if out and an actual camera that doesn't make people look like minecraft characters.
my router is fairly close to the outside so i am hoping signal shouldn't be an issue.
