• Current thinking on Video Doorbells?

    Been having a bit of hassle in the neighbourhood recently with theft from vehicles and 'carol singers' scoping out properties.

    I'm looking at the Nest Battery version (annoying as you can't direct video to my own server) but it'll play well with all the other Google Home stuff.

    Any reason not to or is there other stuff that works with Google/Nest/Smarthings?

  • Google one is good. Weird is better than battery but battery is good.

    They all require a subscription to be useful with better retention of video, higher quality and better features for detection zones, etc.

    It's only going to see whatever is in front of the house, but that's obvious right

  • I would go with Eufy.

    No subscription required with the hub it comes with. All local storage. Most importantly it’s not owned by a company who sells personal data for a living…

    Really pleased with ours.

    Apparently we both might get some cash back / cash off if you use my referral:

  • Netatmo was the one I came to when I did my research previously but I never got round to going further than that.

    Main reasons were it's a reputable brand and it's got inbuilt options to allow you to write files to an FTP server (or Dropbox if that floats your boat).
