Any good hardware is of no use if the connection is unstable or poor. Honestly, you wont have regrets using wired and is money well spent.

You wont have to bothered about is hardware or connection issues.

I am sure you wont want to find out one day when your house is broken into and you are not sure is hardware or connection issues.

My Paradox alarm and cctv is 11 years and not a single issue.

1. CCTV can use back the infra (RG59), just change the camera and decorder as you wish.
2. Wireless Alarm just get the one compatible with TUYA app platform. You can also choose Alarm with GSM.

Friend this is year 2020. They even have Sigmesh wireless alarm now.
And most of the those wireless sensors comes with battery/device status.

Yaya. Back then no zigbee

Is the decoder supporting online viewing via mobile apps?
If yes, will just upgrade with newer decoder and CCTV with better resolution.
Then replace wired alarm system to wireless which easier to manage.
I'm considering ONVIA or BLUGUARD wireless system.
Any feedback or review on the two brands? Or any recommendation for wireless system with good review?

1.Most of the decorder support online viewing via mobile apps. you can look for brand like HIKVISION or DAHUA etc

2. Wireless alarm you can look for 'TUYA SMART/ SMART LIFE Wireless WIFI/GSM ALARM' at SHOPEE or LAZADA. Definitely the PENG LENG CHENG solutions.

Onvia I think is rebranded Tuya
For Tuya alarm better wait for Sigmesh version.

compare 8channels 5Mp set .. hikvision price double the dahua price ...both brand are from china also ?
in term of durable ..which better ?


thanks ..

anyone install AHD smart 2in1 CCTV+alarm system ?
how is this ahd?

thanks ..

1. Thanks and got good review for HIKVISION. Will try it out.

2. Is Tuya durable? China product, right? Are you using it?

Onvia set is pricey compared to Tuya. Not sure if they are having similar quality, just the branding and packaging varies?

Sorry, what is Sigmesh version? Please explain as I'm new in this. Thanks!

Dlink good bundled with cloud recording fox 48 hours or can subsctibe for more. Simple deployment.

Thanks for your feedback.
Are you using Dlink system? Any comment? Is it functioning well as compared to other wireless alarm system?
The price is quite affordable and seems good solution to connect all devices/sensors

For this if need explanation can PM. Sigmesh is bluetooth mesh.

I would not advised to used Dlink if resolution/quality is of importance. They are not a CCTV company so it's just run of the mill products like TPlink, oem from others.

The good thing is you can mix match different dlink under single login, foc 3 device 48 hours of recording, alarm function etc all pretty standard. Yes I’m using couple units and different premises as well. Quality of recording is good and can be downloaded to mobile or pc. So get rid of network onsite recording, all on cloud. Some camera u can have 2 way audio as well, you cant be wrong. So u need the camera, power supply and extend wifi using cheap repeaters and that will do just fine. We can setup this cheap reliable setup, or if budget is huge for more expensive setup but why would you do that right. Setup is easy, each unit have qrcode, scan using phone apps. More details or free advice just ask.

HK, Dahua, Tuya, everything is china product. But again, HK and Dahua is both the world leader in this industry.

Can never go wrong with HIK/Dahua for CCTV. Tuya camera kind of sucks!

those selling at shopee ...full set ..just pull wire..for diy installation only ?

after that download install the app that can view in phone..
how about triggering if stranger around the house ?

and the dome camera can install under awning that not kena water ? or outdoor must use bullet camera ?

shopee one ...4 bullets camera and 4 dome camera ..

i plan to install all at out door ..

thanks ...

If installed under awning it's ok.
