Electronics & Appliances CCTV

Has anyone here got CCTV done on their house and lot, any recommendations on who to get a quote from in the Dumaguete area?

 

I looked at a set up at Ace Logic but changed my mind. They have all the equipment

 

used Xiaomi cams that connect to your home wifi ... easy setup .. they have inside and outside (weatherproof) cameras and also solar power cams

I would imagine that any Foreigner arriving in PH for the first time is liable to form an impression that there is a high crime rate here, on my first visit I was shocked to see security men at the door of the Supermarkets armed with guns, I've never been close to a working modern gun in my life, when you start to go around the place and see metal grille's on most windows and some doors this further reinforces the idea that you need to have a high awareness of criminal activity?
After living here now for the longer term and for the longest time in this area of south Negros, I have so little to concern myself about in this respect, granted so many Filipinos that live in the larger middle class houses seem to take great precautions against criminal break ins, I do wonder if it is just their way of showing off to others and that they have something worth stealing? then we have the Foreigners that think if they do it we must do the same and this may be a prime requirement in their own home country for them?

I quite sure this may not apply to Manila but for here in South Negros if I had the need to feel more secure in my house?
What I would have is a couple of high GI Poles on opposite corners of my lot each with two dummy cameras that look to cover the four sides of my boundary and a few Sign around the perimeter to say CCTV cameras in operation, added to that I would also have beware of the Dog signs, I'm sure this is all that is required to deter any opportunist thief's that are likely to be roaming around, I think it unlikely for there to be any organised (does this word even exist in the Filipin language?) criminal activity in this area?

 

wife wanted them so I installed them simple as that... also it is nice to see your house for deliveries and such when you are away by logging in on the app

 

People have different Perceptions on Security, Me, I don't do anything that gives robbers any clue that We may have some valuables in the House, as mentioned by others our Dogs are pretty Good deterrents, especially our little "Pappy" ( Papillon) with a Loud Bark, when he yaps the Belgians go Hunting

 

Of Course you could always go Basic and hang a cup on the door handle

 

We used solarvolt out of Dawin. The tech, James, spent 2 or 3 days setting us up with 10 cameras spanning over 100 meters from the road to the house and helped determine best spots for maximum coverage. This was is 2018
Free estimate and he set good expectations. He also came back anytime I had maintanace issues (living by the beach the connections would corrode, so he put some stuff on it to slow down the rust).

 

Nobody around my neighborhood needs a beware of the dog sign, dogs everywhere. one dog starts all start barking. Noisy buggers.
