anything that could recommend to me for my upcoming landed corner house.. i would like to have a CCTV with Alarm system that can trigger alarm whenever there is a detection of people movement at car porch, garden, or back lane during certain time period.. main objective is to scare off some intruders that plan to break in.. i dont want normal CCTV for recording purpose or someone break my glass or shake off magnet sensor on windows to trigger alarm.. but one step ahead like motion detect..

the siren is standalone or it is centralised type?? loud enough? currently stay at condo and ip cam CCTV alarm is normal since sound unit is built in and not loud enough..

cause if i move to landed and i need a centralised alarm system which very loud and scare off any intruder if possible.. so far internet i did found 1 brand with youtuber as ambassador, onvia.. will spend time to visit their showroom.. at the same time also looking for another alternative brand for comparison..

btw, thanks.. suggest me some brand if possible.. but if not able to provide here also nvm.. thanks so much.. i will try to search for AI active deterrence CCTV.

I went to multiple CCTV shop and yes mostly they are not advice to go with siren CCTV such as hikvision PIR siren CCTV. They said false alarm might annoying and sound very loud.

Instead they offer ezviz c3w pro for my scenarios. Which also will trigger alarm and siren but not as loud as wired cam.. I got quotation about 3k for 6 c3w pro and including installation and memory cards & plug point.. is this a better option? As they said it have better AI human detection.. but wireless.. I'll have 3 mesh routers so wifi coverage might not be an issue..

oh saw ur pm there.. got you now.. yeah.. thats why they are not recommend me to go for PIR siren camera.. btw, is that any wired ai system can suggest to me?? i would like to look for nearby vendor and see whether they could deploy in my location.. true, they also suggest to have CAT6 RJ45 LAN port but power point are separated since ezviz is not POE.. they suggest me to go for C3W Pro..

thanks for advice.. as im zero knowledge about cctv except tapo cam that im using currently.. one of the things they suggested me to go for ezviz is easier to arm & disarm the alarm of CCTV easier than standard CCTV.. which i am wondering how other wired system, cannot control through mobile app?

quick ask.. in case if i plan to go for ezviz for AI human detection feature.. i found the unit itself not so expensive.. but the quotation by vendor is using C3TN OutPro instead of C3W Pro.. half price is for HW and another half price if for installation.. suppose i can install myself also right? i have drill, power plug also supplied by my wireman.. i just need get weatherseal cover and conceal the plug & point.. then adjust angle & conenct cam to my apps only right??

C3TN OutPro is 3MP while C3W Pro is 4MP.. real 2K compared to C3TN OutPro.. there is another variant called C3W which is 1080p as you mentioned.. ya the naming and variant are really confusing.. dont see much of different between C3TN OutPro versus C3W Pro 4MP except that 3mp vs 4mp.. C3W pro 4mp can customize audio msg when alarm triggered

the reason why i will consider to DIY is that price over shopee/lazada is damn cheap.. 1 unit around RM200+ versus vendor quoted 300+.. installation another 200.. which i think not that difficult to me.. nowadays labor cost really incurred a lot.. i think i can managed to save myself some thousands if i DIY sine i have my own tools and wiring parts also settled by my ID.. i have 3 units mesh routers to expand wifi coverage..

okay.. i think i will DIY myself.. SD card with motion detection only record also sufficient for me.. active AI human detention is much suitable to my style.. and i will install home alarm system for others doors & windows.. CCTV for additional security layer for me.. i am planning to have 8 units of CCTV to cover my unit.. siren feature in CCTV definitely will help to scared off some potential intruders..


btw, photo was taken early of the year..
