I’m thinking of getting a video doorbell but don’t want to pay a sub etc, for things I would probably not need or use. Plus I’m not wanting to pay too much if possible.
Is this one decent? Lorex 2K Wired Video Doorbell
I have a wired in doorbell - friedland 8-16v chime (see pic) from when the house was built 25 ish years ago, and a M412 R.D.L. bell transformer next to the consumer unit.
if I’m understanding the requirements (a good chance I’m not) for most wired doorbell cameras I would need to replace the transformer for a 16-24v. I notice on the bell I linked to has a sd card in the camera for recording, is there a set up with a chime unit type thing for indoors (maybe to replace the old chime) with a sd/usb for recording in it? Or is that not possible, I’m thinking burglars would just pull off the camera/bell outside with the recording in it.
Any help advice recommendations for transformer/doorbell camera etc would be welcome.
