Hi all, I have recently bought a NEST doorbell camera. It's set up near my router however when someone comes to the door it takes a while (about 2 minutes) to alert me and this obviously can result in the person leaving by the time I get the alert. Any advice on to make it instant?

Hi Guys, I am going to be installing a CCTV system on my property this week, though i have been skeptical on how to hide the wiring on the external brick wall. I do not want to recess the wires into to wall or through the cavity. I would just prefer to cable clip the wires on the brick wall...

Some one posted a worrying and plausible issue with burglary. I imagine that this is a common technique as there's nothing worse that breaking into a seemingly unoccupied house to find four marines sleeping off that night's champagne party :eek: + :mad::mad::mad::mad: = :cry: I've thought of...

Evening all I am looking to install a wired CCTV kit but an struggling to route the cables due to the build of our house. The external walls are granite and almost 2' thick so drilling a 30mm + hose would be a pita. I though of routing the wires through the loft out a vent but having been up...
