My mother who lives 400 miles away in Cornwall came clean with me on a phone call last night , ( She had not mentioned ot before as she did not want ot worry me) has been on the wrong end of someone who has visited her 3 times in the last month around midnight to 02:00 in the morning banging on her bedroom window and calling out her name. She lives down a track and no one lives all year round next to her ( holiday homes) . My mother was ( no longer) on the local council and planning committee for many many years so may have made 1 or 2 enemies over the years.
This has been reported to the police but I expect sod all to happen and it will be down to us to find out who it is.
She has wifi in the house but no android phone but has a computer but she just cannot get further than turning it on and looking up emails.
My brother and sister live nearby but both are non tech savvy, however my brother could probably install cameras or I can drive down and set them up.
So I am looking for cameras that are ideally battery operated for ease of instillation ( but maybe mains operated is the better way to go?) , very good night vision with pictures good enough to enable a prosecution, sound recording, easy to set up and can connect through wifi to a site where I or anyone else with the login details could log in and review anything captured.
I have had a look online and there is a huge number of them , you can get systems from a couple of 100 quid to over a grand. I am not a cheapskate when it comes to my mum so if it has to be a grands worth I am ok with that. Maybe I should look at getting a proper security firm to do it?
So I am after opinions of people with real experience of systems for recommendations I will probably continue to google but I know there are some real smart cookies on this site who may have a good insight to this problem.
