Outdoor cameras are essential for home security, and finding the right one that integrates seamlessly with your smart home ecosystem can be a bit overwhelming. I’ve been researching outdoor cameras that are compatible with Homey without needing a bridge, and I’d love to hear your experiences and recommendations!
One thing I’m particularly interested in is cameras that can connect directly to a power cable from the house facade. This would eliminate the need for batteries and provide a more reliable power source. Have you found any models that fit this criterion and work well with Homey?
Another aspect I’m curious about is motion detection accuracy. I’ve heard that some cameras can be triggered by flying insects or raindrops, which can be frustrating. Does anyone have tips on how to minimize false triggers while still maintaining reliable detection?
I’m also exploring the integration possibilities with other smart home devices. For example, combining camera alerts with lighting automation or security systems. Have you successfully integrated your outdoor cameras with other Homey devices, and if so, how did you set it up?
Lastly, I’d love to hear about your experiences with different camera brands and models. What features have you found most useful, and are there any cameras you’d recommend avoiding? Sharing your insights would be incredibly helpful for others looking to enhance their home security!
Let’s discuss and help each other find the best outdoor camera solutions for our smart homes!
