A storm is rising at the horizon. Access to TAPOs Cloud Storage seems only be possible when you have a camera (source: German Reviews) for they do not seem to have a base station which connects to the router and the 7-day storage could be viewed from any desktop if you have an account. So if the intruder removes all cameras and interfaces you are again left with nothing. I contacted them by email in English but of course so far no answer - I wonder if I will ever get one. This is as well a sign of a the excellence of a company - quick and competent user support. Currently it does not look too good which makes steven100 s proposal the favourite. I will contact the company. I foresee that the downside would be the cost. That's the way it is in Thailand, remembering happy times in Switzerland whre this all would be no problem at all.

Incredible. Yes this is a huge increase. In %. Not in actual money. But this is a view fro my own perspective - I must admid that. For a family of 5 with low income it might be desastrous. ????

I feel deep regret and many thanks for everything. That is how it goes in our realm. May your subtle consciousness continue in some better world.

Welcome. I think Rynair for example does not even offer first class - its all wood class and if you are lucky you get a bottle of drinking water or a sandwich - for which you have to pay extra I suppose.

OK, got it.

We were not talking about border crossings. It was about flights abroad. So you can spare your comment. But in a way you are right - of course you do not think about any possible situation which may even more hairy than the one you descibe. But I guess I do not have to apologize for that.

Accepted, JayClay. I was really not aware that you could fly that cheap to KL. I did never understand as well the Discount Airlines in Europe (Ryanair etc.). No idea how they may exist (if they still do) with the rates they did offer in the past. An airplane is something expensive - especially its maintenance and airport taxes etc.

Interesting. We are talking about flights that leave Thailand. I am not aware of any flight abroad that is in the price range of 1000 THB. Please just tell me only one. I would like to learn. We do usually fly Business Class to far away destinations and then 1000 is near to nothing. I guess even to Vietnam or Cambodia or Laos flying in the baggage compartment it must be more. But maybe I am really wrong. Just tell me one flight abroad in this price range please.

This 1000 was proposed in order to limit people spending their money abroad. Seriously. Of course this is not really a well thought out idea. Who would change his mind to depart because of the ridiculously low amount of THB 1'000.--. All these taxes at arrival or departure regardless of its amount (be it 300, 700, 1000 or even multiples thereof) do not have the slightest impact on anything IMHO. Peanuts for anybody who can afford a flight ticket.

Storage happens only in case of a defined event, not continuously. In this case I would not mind to make the clips even public on social media. It is as well only stored during 7 days. In practice, I would download any event videos to my local environment and then delete the cloud storage, which is only desirable because any intruder cannot take away any evidence (like on a SD-Card or recorder). The other thing is cloud storage in general or -computing. I would never allow that.

Thank you very much steven100 !! In fact I have to admit that your answer brought a few tears to my eyes. You did even dig into the matter and came up with helpful advice. So rare nowadays on AN where a considerable percentage of posters does not try to really help but sometimes the exact opposite. I thank you again for your compassionate attitude ! When I get a system which satisfies all the requirements that I have listed above, then there is not very much to install. It is rather a configuration thing, because the cameras you can place by just carrying where you want them to be. An exeption is the one external camera which has to be attached to a wall. If there is a base station then this may be connected via Ethernet cable to the PC. Everything else is WiFi. Plus an application on the mobiles. Not really a problem. As for the hardware the TAPO as @stubuzz proposed seems to be the most promising solution so far. But then there is as well loosafe, but this one looks a little bit too "Chinese" to me. And then there is of course your proposal as well. I think I will have a system ready. Thank you all again (no the Alfred Cam will not be part of the shootout, but thanks anyway !)

Thanks ! What I have seen so far on TAPO's homepage looks promising. Seems they have copied the features from the lower end ARLO cameras - but they are cheap and THB 6'000 for 5 cameras per year is just THB 500.-- per month.

I found the info on cloud storage on their homepage. However it does not say how much the 7-day plan is.

Thank you. If you had this all then you know as well which company to contact. Could you tell this to me please ? Thanks. ....and I forgot: No dog in my house regardless of my wife's advice.

Obviously not. It says explicitely "local storage". Then battery operation is not mentioned, nor the number of supported cameras at the same time.

Does the AN Management not think that it would be slowly time to think about alternative hosting ? As far as I know AN is hosted in Hongkong. There are very reliable suppliers in Europe, for example in Switzerland and in todays world distance does not matter. Or is this a political thing ?

Nobody does anymore respond to my request - and I am slowy getting nuts. I need a new Surveillance Camera System since ARLO (the best there is on the market) does not support cloud storage from Thailand, regardless of any offers that several suppliers in Thailand claim. My minimum requirements are: At least 5 cameras supported, including inhouse and one for outside, connecting via WiFi to a base station Cameras battery operated (rechargeable with big capacity) Motion Detection SMS Alarm to several mobile phones in case of any event Cloud storage of video clips of any events, not only recording on memory card or recorder A Bonus is when the cameras are SMALL and flexible to install (standalone in a cabinet, wall mounted etc.) Arlo would satisfy all of these and more, but as I said - not for Thailand. Here are home owners in abundance. Many of you might have Security cameras. Please share your wisdom concerning camera surveillance with me. I would be pleased to receive only answers that satisfy all requirements I have listed above, everything else is a waste of time. Thank you very much.

I lost my very best friend at the time when he was 28. He just fell over while at dinner. He was supposed to be healthy. Same thing for my wife: A friend of her died withour forwarning when he was 19. Just collapsed. You never know when it is happening. Might be within the next minute.

Hey, I just remember. Was this not in Soi Diamond ?

I dont know this one. Was that in Pattaya ? We did frequent mostly the Saxophone (Monument), Brown Sugar (Lumpini) and the Bamboo Bar (Mandarin Oriental) in Bangkok. All air conditioned with band. I remember especially the live performances of Tewan Sapsanyakorn in Brown Sugar. And the Bamboo Bar used to be good at the time when the black Lady singer was still around. But this is all many many years ago. I remember as well the "Q" club at the end of Suk Soi 11. No idea if they still exist today. "However, there is a "Q" club in HCMC with the same logo just opposite a fine dining restaurant. All (good) memories.

Not attached, but "integrated". That is why those are called Big C "Extra". Here in Pattaya there is both a Big C and a Big C Extra (Pattaya Klang) which has quite some selection of foreign food.

Airconditioning plus Live Music exclude each other a bit. Airconditioning makes only sense in a room. And this is not where you might find a band. At least not in Pattaya. There are some Jazz Clubs in Bangkok where you can find that.

I am not so sure if you know of any problems you might possibly have. Ever run a deep Anti-Virus scan ? Maybe this could result in a big surprize ????

It is as well available at BHP, but only by order of your doctor. I had an appointment 4 days ago for something else and by chance asked the doctor about a booster. To my biggest surprize they immediately took that up and 30 minutes later I was vacinated with Pfizer Bivalent Cornamity. It was my 5th vaccination after Astra-Astra-Moderna-Moderna. However they did not give me a certificate and I was as well not able to access Mor Prom. I am 67 years old with severe predispositions. They did not give it to my wife (42, Thai, very light predispositions) but said if she sees her doctor the next time she could ask for it.). I do not recall if we paid for it or not because the bill was just one amount and my wife takes care of the financial side anyway. And I give a s**** about such low cost positions. But it is available right now at BHP in Pattaya.

Thank you very much. Yes this seems to be a German company. (Un)fortunately I do not have Facebook and never will. I dont use Twitter or Line or anything else Social Media like (exept AN ????) as well. Causes stomach pain if I only hear the names. But I can maybe find out about it using the other links or really email the boss directly. Same with Captain DIY. Although DIY is out of the question. I want a professional make it properly.
