mikehende 0 Posted February 15, 2017 Hello guys, I need only one video cam for my front door. I don't need it for mobile use on my smartphone, just a simple one camera which I can put over my front door and if it can be hidden even better. I need one which will be connected to my pc monitor, wireless would be best of course but if need to be wired then I can do do, any referalls please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted February 15, 2017 Hi. For a simple camera have a look at ring https://ring.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikehende 0 Posted February 15, 2017 Thank you very much, would you know if a visitor will know that the doorbell is a camera? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssmith10pn 0 Posted February 17, 2017 I just installed the Ring Pro Doorbell. This thing is awesome. It has motion detect and doorbell alerts. If I walk up to my front door from my truck I get a notification on my phone before I even make it to the door. You can setup a cloud account to store the video. I have a extensive camera system and this was a great addition to my security. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikehende 0 Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks for the feedback, can you tell me if anyone will be able to know if it's a camera? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikehende 0 Posted February 17, 2017 The reason why I am looking into a hidden or disguised camera guys is because the bad guys tend to do things which will prevent them from being recognized. Case in point, friend of mine, his house was burglarized a 2nd time last year even after installing a camera system over the door. The thieves obviously saw the camera over the door, bent their heads, they had on hoodies and did their thing so no way to recognize their faces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssmith10pn 0 Posted February 17, 2017 The pro isn't much bigger than a regular door bell button. They are already on camera before they even know it. I can take a picture of mine and post it. You wouldn't know it's a camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikehende 0 Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks but no need to take a pic as I can see it on the net, looking at it again yes, anyone can see the camera which is located on top of the doorbell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssmith10pn 0 Posted February 17, 2017 The promotional pictures make the camera look a lot bigger than it is. That's why I offered a real picture. Listen to my wife's phone in this video clip. When you hear the wind chime tone from her phone that is the motion notification. https://ring.com/share/2109638267 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikehende 0 Posted February 17, 2017 Oh I see, thanks for the video. How weatherproof is that small device? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssmith10pn 0 Posted February 17, 2017 It looks IP66 to me. Even the terminal screws are sealed from the internal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
