Security System: if not Securitas Direct, then who?
Helpful member
Hi folks, I am looking for a security system for my house. My main concerns are squatters, primarily, thieves secondarily. Therefore, I am looking for a system that will:
a) scream loudly (to announce to everyone that the guests are uninvited)
b) is connected to either a police dashboard or some sort of security dashboard - so that immediate action will be taken
c) being smart is not a must have but a huge benefit (e.g. I will be able to see through the cameras remotely from my PC/phone)
d) cameras store at least the last 48 hours of recordings somewhere where I can easily access it (cloud)
Now - it seems like the Verisure / Securitas Direct have all that covered. Seems - I speak zero Spanish and their website is not expat friendly. However, in another thread, many people mentioned issues with the company and the Google reviews are dreadful. Also, I can't even find a pricelist so I have no idea how expensive this is. I fill in the online quote with the help of Google Translate but can't submit because they don't accept foreign phone numbers. What a load of...
Any recommendations, please? I could potentially fulfill points C and D on my own using Raspberry Pi and some camera modules but I'd rather have it all professionally delivered.
