      Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get enough attention in home security setups: anti-theft protection for your cameras. You invest in a system to protect your property, but what’s stopping a thief from just… stealing the camera itself? Here’s why securing your security gear should be a top priority—and how wireless security centers like Home Hub could be a potential solution.

      With Home Hub, the centralized system that integrates an anti-theft algorithm to monitor connected cameras in real-time. If a camera is removed, goes offline, or is tampered with, the system sends an instant alert to your phone. 

      Of course, technology alone isn’t enough. Pairing smart features with physical security measures is key. For instance, mounting cameras at least nine feet high makes them harder to reach, while vandal-resistant housings and secure brackets ensure they can’t be easily removed. Combining these physical safeguards with tech like Home Hub creates a robust defense that deters thieves and keeps your property secure.

      At the end of the day, anti-theft protection isn’t just about preventing the loss of a camera—it’s about maintaining the integrity of your entire security system. Without it, you risk losing critical evidence, facing costly replacements, and being left with a false sense of security. Whether you’re using a system like Home Hub or implementing your own DIY solutions, taking steps to secure your cameras is a must.

      So, what’s your experience with anti-theft measures? Have you ever dealt with a stolen or tampered camera? Or have you tried systems with built-in anti-theft features? Let’s share stories and tips to help each other stay one step ahead.

          @reolink-oskar whilst I do use the Home Hub (to record) the scenario that it does not cover is - temporary wifi disruption between my battery camera (Argus 3U) and the home-hub. In this instance the Argus could in theory - save the video on its own SD card. However - I have elected NOT to use an SD card because the Argus does not encrypt the video on SD card. To me therefore - in the event of a theft of my security camera - I would prefer the cost of replacing the camera, vs the cost of having the images of my family being accessed by the thieves.

          Therefore - can I put this question back to Reolink - can these battery cameras encrypt to SD card? And if there was temporary WiFi disruption can these videos be synchronised with the Home Hub when WiFi is restored?

          Thanks.

            @weiliang I have already suggested these ideas to Reolink. The purpose of the cameras is to provide security but at the same time they should be secured. Apart from encryption, we need to have location tracking (add GPS) and HB mechanism (inform customer when x HB packets are missed out) even when they are in standalone. Not everyone has HHP/NVR. I even asked for SIP client and sound detection. These are few suggestions from the numerous I suggested to support.

            Let's hope one day we see them.
