  1. Hello! 👋 I was wondering if you could show me a list of home security systems with video verification?

  2. Weather also affects wireless systems. They drain faster in cold weather, there is also frequency interruptions. Wired system is better.

    1. Frequency interruptions? Do you mean wi-fi interruptions? Or that the video doorbell doesn’t work when the battery is empty?

  3. What you want is 3 levels of redundancy battery wire and solar or for evil mad scientist nuclear powered with built in disintegrating Ray. and also the draw back is if someone comes up with a mask and hits the bell with a sledge hammer what then.

  4. Pro please can you tell me
    Which types of smart outdoor doorbells can be powered by 12VDC directly from an NVR, UPS, or PoE switch, without requiring an internal battery?

  5. Yeah, it’s not like you’re going to be moving it around. Go with wired, and don’t have to worry about batteries.

  6. Just bought a new home and thinking about door cams and security systems. Are door cams (Ring or Eufy) stand alone units or are these packages that have door cams and security cams around the house?

    1. I can’t speak for ring. But I am heavily invested in the eufy ecosystem. It all depends on which model you buy. I have the S330 doorbell cameras, which do require the homebase from eufy to work. However, I prefer them requiring the homebase. The homebase enhances the product’s capabilities astronomically. Allows for facial recognition along with many other AI features.
