It seems hard to find a complete security system, some are camera systems with security features or the other way around, but not many combine all in a system.
So let’s try to describe it.
The following components should be included:
- motion sensors (available)
- Door/window sensors (available)
- Base station to coordinate all (available)
- Outdoor camera’s (available till 2k)
- Doorbell (available)
- Indoor cameras (not available unless you use the expensive outdoor version)
- Remote to put it on and off (not available). You can use an app, but that is not so convenient for many people. The remote should have 2 zones.
- Keypad (available), although not my preference.
- Sirens, indoor and outdoor, although a siren included in the cameras and base station will work as well (partly available)
- Smoke detectors (not available).
- CO detector (not that important to me)
Functionality
- Detect motion etc and trigger the alarm
- Trigger all sirens
- Trigger to start recording to base station
- Integration with several systems like HomeKit, Google assistant, Hue
- Set alarm system with zones, e.g. all when you are not home or only downstairs when you are sleeping
- View cameras
- Conditional events (if this then that)
- Email snapshots of people seen by cameras
- Record video when triggered
- Sensors based on Zigbee (would be nice). Actually, the 2 years mentioned by Eufy is not that long. With my current alarm system the batteries last 5 to 6 years
- People and pet detection, face detection for some cameras
- Interaction between 2 or more home bases.
