Fiat Coupe Forum
- Founded by Kayjey & James Northam
- Funded by the Club for the benefit of all owners

IMPORTANT NOTICE - Access to Technical Info on Forum
The original ethos of the Forum was to make technical information

including How To guides, FAQs, etc. available to all Forum members

without subscription, but in recent years we have seen a decline in

Club membership numbers whilst the costs for hosting the Fiat Coupe

Forum web site have increased. Club membership pays for the Forum and

provides other benefits, and to ensure the long term viability of the

Club and Forum, it has been discussed and agreed at the recent AGM that

the technical sections of the Forum should be accessible only to Club

members with a current subscription, starting from 01-January-2026.

He rode off when he saw them... Does anyone on here have any experience of outdoor cameras like Nest or Arlo etc?

They connect to the wifi and I can access them anywhere in the world (that has a wifi signal) It warns me if someone enters the motion zone and records it as an event. I got them because my cars were getting damaged by stones being thrown into the secure garage area. There were hundreds of them over time and chipping paint and windscreens. I thought I was being targeted but it turned out to be a couple of 8 year old kids playing with stones and a tennis racket. Doris the 1998 Portofino Blue 20V and Zoe the 1999 Alfa Romeo 916 Spider Bog standard needn't be boring...

They do a good job for the price though

It's designed to use the same wiring and just take the place of an outdoor light if you already have one meaning I installed it in about half hour all in. Has a memory card aswell as the use of Dropbox to store and the app is 100% free.
