Planning to put together a simple recording system for the house to monitor once we get the all clear to start traveling again.
Any forum go-to's for home monitoring cameras. Requirements -
night vision (one will be in the garage)
Cloud recording of images once movement detected
2 way chat
Local storage if internet router disconnected
Remote monitoring from IOS device
Sensible price (not over £100 per camera)

Might be worth trawling the IOT thread, I'm sure its been covered to some extent (although not a guarantee)

@Alan_tbt I recently bought a few EZVIZ CTQ3W cameras.

£60 each, internal S/D and/or cloud, with night vision and 2 way audio.

Suitable for outdoor and indoor mounting.

WiFi or wired

The cloud subscription is sensibly affordable compared to Ring or Google, with a choice of rolling 3 day, 1 week or 1 month storage.

They do the job nicely.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
