I'm using the BlinkXT2 system with varying degrees of success
It's far, far better than the Ring system I had previously and the picture quality pretty good with very good trigger sensor. A few drawbacks are some motions missed that I know have happened but hese are few and far between.
For the money paid I'm very happy and the cloud storage is FREE with all you need to do is check and delete anything you don't need on a regular basis Available from Screwfix
Good luck
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal
I like my nest outdoor cams, they're good quality and relatively easy to install. The new subscription seems to be cheaper too. I've not used any other systems so don't know how it compares, I got them because I already had the thermostat and smoke alarms which are also good. The GF want's me to get the doorbell too now as well.
Unfortunately the nest aware security system isn't available in the UK yet as that would give you more options for protecting your home.
The bikes are covered and chained to the wall (both have top end chains and Oxford locks, one with motion alarm) but the cover on my bike (Honda CB500X) was lifted yesterday and I dont think it was the wind. Have heard of Almax and they are really good and blooming expensive! But yes, how much is one’s bike worth......
We have a wall all around and the only way out is through a gap that only one person could get through and my bike fits with an inch or so either side to spare due to wide handlebars. It would be quite tricky to get them out without creating a disturbance (our bedroom is directly above) but they are crafty feckers these days.
As with anything, you can only do as much as you can. Kind of hoping that a visible cctv camera will act as a further deterrent.

Looks ok. Battery-powered so may or may not be a good thing.
They can last for a few months depending on useage. I could install the camera just outside the bedroom window so i’d just unclip it to plug in and recharge.

I think it's a new model so no reviews on Youtube.

The new house we bought last year has the Ring doorbell fitted as a standard, tbh I didn't take it to seriously and got fed up with my phone telling me every now and then that there was motion at my front door, I never subscribed as I couldn't be bothered, however what I will say is the picture quality was first class easily ten out of ten. Ring still send me e-mails telling me when my door bell battery is down to 30% although I haven't opened an account with them. Like most things you can get add ons that work with the doorbell, additional cameras etcetera and I'm also in the market for a WiFi burglar alarm for the house at the moment, the Wifi in this house is lightning quick so the motion sensors are just placed around the rooms (no hard wiring).
We've got the Nest system running our hot water and central heating upstairs and downstairs are now called zones. The Missus shouted at me the other day "where are you" I shouted back "I'm in zone 1"
Feck me I can't keep up with all this gobbledygook.

I bought the same system as a quic k fix with the intention of replacing with a proper bells and whistles setup when I'd done some research. However it worked so well I ended up just adding a few more Blink cameras. Amazon do a deal every couple of months which works out at aro und £60 a camera. Can't really go wrong at that price.
