I have fitted a "Blink" Security camera system at home which I was really impressed with.

So much so - I bought another two cameras and a Synch module - and took them over to GA.

Works a absolute treat - and (more importantly for me) I can keep an eye on the weather from my roof.

Picture quality is very good and easy to install (no power or hard wiring needed) - has infra red, motion detection and can me used simply as a webcam if you want to check out your Casa !

Pardon my ignorance but does this mean you have to have permanent wifi in Gran Alacant if you want to monitor your house when you're not there?

Beachlife, would you know if all the cameras have to run off the same router and ip address, or could I for example have two cameras in the uk, and two in Spain all linked to the same phone ? Sorry if that's a bit technical :)

That’s fine - you can have any number of systems on your phone - I have two. You can arm / disarm each system separately and there is no difficulty in setting up - you simply bar code (qr code) scan with your phone and it links to your IOS or Android accounts. Mine works on both my iPad and iPhone and I only initially installed it on the phone. All just synchs up together

Remembered this earlier post and wondered if anyone would be interested in this.  I’m not particularly, but it looks like a bargain!!!
