I realise security professionals will shoot this down as amateurish, but would welcome feedback on this proposal for basic security cover in a reasonably remote hangar; Rotax engines seem flavour-of-the-month in Eastern Europe, and we need to get something in place.
We’ve got mains power available, and now 4G WiFi with an EE Hotspot (4G reception, 20hz up/down bandwidth, preferably limited to 8Gb/month). Assume other suppliers available, but we’ve been using this model (in theory 10 device hookup, in France successfully for a week with PCs, Macs, iThings at UK EE rates). See: https://goo.gl/i5oWxA
Since we discussed remote WiFi airfield weather stations (forum last year?) the low-end security camera market now has a wider choice of wireless kit.
We don’t need continuous streaming, but movement/sound trigger warning, recording to SD card, access from iThings or Android, night vision, wide-angle capture, battery powered (preferable in case an intruder kills main power), waterproof/external use are some of the features we’ve found. So far the only model with all the above at a reasonable cost, and shortly available, is the Reolink Argus: https://goo.gl/twdZEQ Reolink tech support communicate well. So do Logitech, but their equivalent model is mains-powered which would be vulnerable.
Hardware cost is modest - less than 200 quid, and ongoing simcard cost around £120/year for the EE Hotspot. Having WiFi in the hangar would, of course, be useful. One interior camera, one external, would be ideal.
We’d appreciate constructive comments and advice for alternative solutions at a reasonable budget.
