🤔 WHY GUARDIAN EYE INSTEAD OF OTHER SOLUTIONS?

We hear this question often. Here's an honest answer:

❌ PROBLEMS WITH OTHER SYSTEMS:

1️⃣ Cloud Services (Ring, Nest, Arlo)
• $10-30/month = $120-360/year
• Your videos on someone else's servers
• They can analyze your data
• No internet = no access to recordings

2️⃣ iSpy, Blue Iris
• Switched to subscriptions ($8-10/month)
• Complex setup
• Outdated interface

3️⃣ Synology Surveillance Station
• Requires buying NAS (~$300-1000)
• Camera limitations (paid licenses)
• Hardware lock-in

✅ GUARDIAN EYE SOLUTION:

🔒 Privacy — everything local, no cloud
💰 $29-79 one-time (not per month!)
⚡️ Simplicity — install and it works
🆓 Free version — 1 camera forever

📊 Do the math:
• Ring/Nest: $120/year × 5 years = $600
• Guardian Eye Home: $49 one-time

💡 Savings: $551 over 5 years!

📖 REAL STORY: HOW GUARDIAN EYE HELPED RECOVER A STOLEN BICYCLE

*Story from our user Michael*

"Installed Guardian Eye on an old laptop with a webcam in my building's hallway near the bike parking. Just wanted to see who was leaving trash.

A week later, my $700 bike disappeared. 😡

Checked Guardian Eye recordings — found the theft moment in 20 seconds (built-in motion detector immediately showed activity).

On the video:
• Clear license plate
• Thief's face
• Time accurate to the second

Gave the recording to police. 3 days later, bike returned, thief caught.

Guardian Eye paid for itself that same day. Spent $49 on Home version — saved $700."

2️⃣ What computer do I need?

Minimum:
• Windows 10/11, Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+), macOS 10.15+
• 4 GB RAM
• Dual-core CPU (Intel/AMD from last 5 years)

You can use an old laptop! 💻

🛠 5 TIPS FOR SETTING UP GUARDIAN EYE

(Save time and nerves!)

1️⃣ CONFIGURE DETECTION ZONES

Don't track the entire camera window!

✅ Exclude:
• Trees outside (swaying in wind)
• Sun shadows
• Roads with passing cars (if not important)

👉 Result: 70% fewer false alarms

2️⃣ USE EXTERNAL DRIVE

System SSD fills up quickly with recordings.

✅ Connect:
• External USB drive (500+ GB)
• Or specify path to NAS

3️⃣ ADJUST RECORDING BITRATE

Don't need 1080p to detect motion in a hallway!

💡 Recommendations:
• 720p 2 Mbps — for most scenarios
• 1080p 4 Mbps — if details matter (license plates)

👉 Space savings: up to 50%

4️⃣ RECORDING ROTATION

Guardian Eye automatically deletes old videos.

⚙️ Configure:
• Free: 7 days (default)
• Home: 30 days (recommend 14-21 days)
• Pro: as much as fits on disk

5️⃣ PERIODICALLY CHECK RECORDINGS

Don't wait for an emergency! Once a week, open Guardian Eye and check:
• Are all cameras working
• Are events recording
• Is there enough disk space

⏱️ Takes 2 minutes.
