Reddit reviews YI Dome Camera Pan/Tilt/Zoom Wireless IP Indoor Security Surveillance System 720p HD Night Vision, Motion Tracker, Auto-Cruise, Remote Monitor with iOS

How many eye level outlets do you have and how many times have people stolen your charging bricks? If you want a cheap security camera the RasPi security camera kits are pretty cheap, especially if you buy knockoff cameras from aliexpress.
You could also just buy a cheap motion controlled WiFi camera like this. Then you don’t have to plug in an SD card to watch video.

Or use your brain and just use a camera that records 24/7 with a time stamp and take the clip of the honking after an event. These regularly go on sale for $40 for two. Outdoor/waterproof one costs $90 from same company, and there are a million extra.

Sound activated cameras don't cost anything extra. iSpy software on the PC (free) can be activated by audio, and can record before and after events. Asking a CS department to do this is just being lazy, a waste of time, and a poor use of resources, they'll tell you the same thing.

Source: Actually wrote my own python scripts for a pi security-cam for security purposes back in 2013 because wireless-n 1080p cameras were expensive back then.

If you have good wifi i would recommend these Yi security cameras, they are both $40 and connect with just a micro USB cable & wifi. The smartphone app is awesome with these cameras, you get instant playback and you can set motion alerts.

Here and buy a gun.

So we have this camera. It’s one of the best things we bought and everyone we show it to in our phones has bought one. Plus bonus, it’s fairly cheap, can be accessed through our phone app and I can check it while I’m out. It connects multiple cameras so they’re in one place and the quality is amazing compared to the Motorola monitor we used to have. Lastly, it’s secure. You have to create an account to log into your cameras via your app and then you can opt for a separate PIN number to access either camera.

Edit to add: Here is a screenshot of our empty nursery so you can see how amazingly clear the picture is.

Another option that you can use well after baby time, Yi home camera & Yi Dome Camera. It's practically the same as a Nestcam. 2 way audio, wifi and can be used on a cell phone and tablet. OH and it's $40!!!!!!!!! Can't go wrong.

r/letnotmeet has an official guide on the sidebar that has good tips as far as safety/physical security goes. one thing that's not on there are what's called "security bars" that you can buy from amazon. they block in doors/windows/sliding doors from being broken in while you're at home, like when you're sleeping.

i'd also consider posting on trollx for advice as well. there's some of us trolls who've gone through some shit and may be able to give good advice.

for restraining order, for one thing, he'll need the exact address of where he needs to stay away from. since he already knows her home address, i would just be careful putting on there specific locations that he doesn't know about, if that makes sense. restraining orders might only be half as helpful if there isn't some way to catch him violating it. i'd recommend some sort of night security camera. i put these on my tech wishlist after ppl recommended them on the recent r/aww post on the cat triggering the night camera:

as for stopping cold turkey or de-escalating, that's up to her. but whatever she chooses, and hell, even now, she NEEDS to be prepared for his possible actions when she does do it, cuz he's gonna get pissed, which might lead to silent insidious revenge or straight out attack.

that means not going anywhere alone, securing her house and car when she's alone, setting up apps that can be immediately triggered quietly to call for help, carrying pepper sprays/defense stuff depending on local laws, etc etc, there's a lot you can do. and making sure her friends/family/coworkers/employer knows -the more eyes keeping a lookout for him the better (show them a picture of him). these fuckers relish on getting the upper hand and she needs to get in control of the situation. (and yes, i know a lot of this stuff from reading that sub)

also, breaking and entering IS a crime, wherever you are. if she catches that on tape she's golden as far as restraining order or even straight up charging him with it. she should start a journal log, writing down exact dates/times/details of any event, small or big. if it ever goes to the police or court, it'll help tremendously. she can also low-key record conversations with him on her phone, just turn the indicator light switch off.

best of luck and safety to you and your friend.

We just got this reasonably priced (under $40) camera to watch our pup when we're not home (so we can compare her behavior pre and post new rescue). It seems like you can only watch from your phone, but it serves its purpose and has a good range of view. Also, we only got the 720p version b/c it's not like I'm trying to make out the details of an intruder's face, rather I'm just trying to see where my dog spends her time and what she does while we're away.

Yeah I'm dumb, sorry. Missed the mini bit which makes it 2.4 only.

If you have an old android phone lying around there are tons of apps you can use to make it into a camera.

YI stuff is cheap and good: https://smile.amazon.com/YI-Wireless-Security-Surveillance-Monitor/dp/B01CW4BG4K/ Though it's probably also phoning home to China, lol

For the money this camera is really great. You can pan and tilt the camera and the night vision works really well. The app for the camera support iOS, Mac OS, Windows and Android.

I have the same brand of camera, this is the one I have:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CW4BG4K/

No I. Should have clarified I'm using stuff like this

https://www.amazon.com/YI-Camera-Wireless-Security-Surveillance/dp/B01CW4BG4K

The apps the camera links with its supposed to have alerts pop up on the phone but it doesn't.

I would think it's an app issue but when multiple apps do the same it makes me think maybe not

I don't know your situation. But you can buy something like this.

Then if you have it set an old smart phone to never turn the screen off. Then keep it plugged in with the camera app open. If not use your own phone to check it as needed.

I'm sure Amazon Canada or some other store has something similar

Like this one. Only $40.

YI Dome Camera Pan/Tilt/Zoom Wireless IP Security Surveillance System 720p HD Night Vision (US Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CW4BG4K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_Ee3D6AV5cUK3j

I have no experience with any other cameras (nor home automation). I bought one of these about 4 months ago - YI Home Cam and it's pretty awesome. It senses motion and sends an alert to my phone, then plays back a 6 second clip. It can also track motion. You can also aim/rotate the camera with the app. It also has really good night vision. Besides watching my front door, I sometimes set it up on my deck at night so I can check out the raccoons, possums and wild cats that visited my deck during the night.

Haven’t tried this myself, but I’ve gotten suggestions to use a regular security camera. Baby monitors are just more expensive.

I got the YI Home Camera to monitor my dog's levels of separation anxiety and so far it's worked very well- has all the features you're looking for and just $35.

If you're not worried about 1080 picture quality, I'd actually suggest checking out the YI Dome Cam. It's been our favorite indoor smart security camera for a while, and it's only $34, so it's more affordable than the ones you found. It's also got 7 days of free cloud storage and an SD card slot. (we recommend SanDisk, especially the Extreme Pro lineup, which outperformed other top brands when we tested SD cards


We've never head of the four you shared, and other than the Wansview, they all have too few reviews for us to confidently say they're good or not. The Wansview seller, however, raised some minor yellow flags when I looked into their overall review quality on Amazon via Fakespot. Hope this helps! - Samantha
