We have had a few things go missing from our garden recently. We are pretty confident we know who it is but no concrete evidence. I'd like to install a discreet camera. Can anyone suggest anything. I am not keen on a ring door bell as it's too obvious.

I've got 3 Tapo C10 cameras. One upstairs on my bedroom windowsill covering the front garden, one on the hall windowsill covering the side garden, and one on the kitchen windowsill covering the back garden.

They are quite discreet.They can be wall mounted. They are very cheap and available on Amazon or Argos.They are designed mainly for indoor use but work well covering the garden. They are linked to my phone so I can watch whats happening live and can record incidents ibecause I have an SD memory card in them.

I don't know if something similar would help your situation OP .

Thank you. I was just looking at those. I have their app already as I have a few of their smart plugs in the house.

Or hide a Mini dome camera in a wall mounted junction box, or dummy alarm case with a small hole.
