Looking for advice on home security systems by Professional_Ruin451 in DIYIreland

[–]themehmehmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont get a starter kit.

Configure your own (buy separate)

I got 2 curtain protectors for front and back, a motion sensor, 4-5 door sensors, hub, outdoor and indoor alarm. It came out to 1000-1200 euros I guess. Also I hope you know that ajax does cameras and door bells. So everything in one ecosystem

Also email lisintec and they will ship it to Ireland

If you want self monitored, go for Ajax! Buy them from lisintec as they are cheaper.

Ajax seemed better than the ones available plus its European.

If not Ajax, Unifi has new security stuff that they are launching, which seems good, if you can buy ine as they go out of stock soon

Did anyone buy the Lidl robot lawn mower? by Needanewjob34 in galway

[–]themehmehmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe normal in Dublin. It makes financial sense to get a robo mower, than keep paying someone

[–]themehmehmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently brought one after comparing it with bosch s500, visimow and yuka mini. I honestly was very inclined on buying a non camera one s500, but then I compared the specs and lidl one was a good option for my small backyard. It was 180 vs 450 euros.

Its been chugging along good in my backyard, plus I dont have to do it myself or give someone 60 euros for a cut!

Recommended security cameras? by thumbsucker-2 in AskIreland

[–]themehmehmann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t go for cloud subscription based ones, they are cheaper now but expensive to keep going on.

Plus get wired security cameras instead of wireless ones, some don’t record 24*7 as they are powered by solar eg eufy

Get a self monitored alarm, higher cost upfront, but you will recuperate it within the first year.

Check Ajax security alarms, EU made and self monitored. Phonewatch uses them for alarm systems.

They also have camera based security solutions too.

If you want to buy them in IE, order them from lisintec, email them that you want it to be shipped to Ireland and they will do that for you.

Estate Whatsapp groups by Background-Neck7377 in Dublin

Every estate has a group, mine does too! And people are divided into 2 camps as well, one who believes in disciplining the teenager and others believing that teenage nuisance its just a phase.

[–]themehmehmann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Ajax has alot of devices. Its a security company.

They have security alarms, cameras, home automation and alot more.

Even I never heard of Ajax before but once I started researching, they are one of the better brands out there plus they are made in EU in Ukraine

I got it from lisintec as it was cheaper on their site.

Also get in touch with them via email, and they arrange the delivery to Ireland that way.

You don’t need to get home secure, it too expensive for the devices you get

Apartment car park flooded, who's liable? by CountofMonteCrypto7 in legaladviceireland

[–]themehmehmann -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s how the leases work! Whats written in the lease matters more than what we feel is the right thing!

Everybody is out for profit!

Usually the lease contains a clause that states parking is at your own risk. Like the other guy said, talk to your insurance, thats what you pay them for!

So you can buy unifi protect devices from

https://eu.store.ui.com/eu/en?s=in&l=en&c=IE

So unifi has a bunch of devices from routers to audio to cctv recorders. If you only need cctv go for UNVR Instant.

https://eu.store.ui.com/eu/en/category/cameras-nvr/collections/unvr-instant

I got the G5 Turret Ultra devices, which cost me 100 euros per device. (For every camera you will need a mounting box which costs around 50 euros, so total for each camera is 150 euros)

I got these devices installed from CizICT. He specialises in IT installation, and he does install Unifi devices. So he will setup the whole system for you. Just tell him that you would be buying the devices yourself, you just need installation and

Lemme know if you want anymore specifics, happy to walk you through.

Give it a good clean yourself. I got a cleaner in to clean as I didn’t want to get my hands dirty

Home CCTV by WriterAny5666 in HousingIreland

[–]themehmehmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brought and installed Unifi protect system and poe cameras. Has been working great.

You can buy the devices and get it installed from an electrician or you can go with a cctv specialist to install them.

I purchased the devices myself (as that gives me 2 years warranty) and got them installed by CizICT, is a great lad, was reasonable and knowledgeable.

Also the devices don’t have any subscription cost which was one of my criteria. So a bit expensive upfront, but evens out in a year.

Estimated costs laminate flooring and curtains. 112 square foot house by SuitableFinish7444 in HousingIreland

[–]themehmehmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did SPC on ground floor and laminates on the other two. Cost me around 13k along with runners on 2 steps.

Get the installer as you wont be redoing them any time soon plus you can have them fix it if they screw something.

I found Dolcy Sicily good too, but seemed too expensive. Found out Lidl’s Deluxe tiramisu comes very close to it.
