Thread: Home Security

Purchased last year and imported directly into NZ.

GSM alarm similar to this one here, nice and loud and pop in a GSM cell chip and it'll txt to all the numbers listed that the alarm has gone off. Half a dozen motion sensors around the house, door and window sensors, and wireless key remotes and external solar powered siren. I want the buggers to know the alarm has gone off to deter the casual burglar. A similar one on TM goes for @NZ$450.

5 x cctv camera unit here with IR and waterproof cameras here. 3 cameras have an overt presence, 2 cameras are a bit more covert but only if you glance around. Looking will easily show them. Has web browser viewing and an app for viewing them on my phone. Records onto an endless loop and the quality is amazing - crisp and clear, I went for the 700 line tv cameras which cost a touch more but record in higher quality (the shit ones you see on bank videos and Police 10/7 are usually only 400 line cameras). It also helps having the cameras mounted where you would get a good shot of someone's face rather than up high looking down at a peak cap.

Overall way cheaper than buying in NZ, I could set it up the way I wanted and the dealers in AliExpress all replied promptly and delivered to NZ with no hassles.

Plus I have great neighbours
