Hiho. Another brand new member with no experience in CCTV. I am a current Arlo user and have since come to regret the purchase. When you struggle to even identify family members and friends on your cameras you soon realise what a shit idea it was to invest in this breed of surveillance in the first place.

Thanks for having me! I'm looking forward to learning what I can and moving forward with a far better CCTV set-up and experience. I am really hoping I can purchase cameras through this store - insofar it won't allow shipping to my country (Australia).

Welcome to IPCT, mate!

Welcome!

Many of us started down this consumer grade journey and moved on to better cameras.

Many people here, including from Australia, purchase from trusted member @EMPIRETECANDY with his Empiretech cameras (Dahua OEM - you are buying them cheaper without the logo) on either his website, amazon or a DM to him here.

To get you started, see this thread for the commonly recommended cameras (along with Amazon links) based on distance to IDENTIFY that represent the overall best value in terms of price and performance day and night.

Thank you for info, Wittaj. That thread is about to kill my plan for sleep.

Cheers mate.
