Aww thank you for this,I did look at a blink camera but due to needing to buy a hub to go with it it sort of put me off I'm on a limited budget, only reason I'm now wanting to get a camera is due to the local teens who think it's fun to kick doors

Ring should be OK as it's made by Amazon, as are Blink.

You need a monthly subscription for Ring, whereas you can use a local hub for recordings on Blink. It also has the option for a monthly subscription.

Just thought I'd throw that into your considerations!

You might find someone has already asked this question re Eero in the questions section of the product page.

Good luck

Hi thank you for commenting, I'm looking at ring door bell cam but being a typical female it's a minefield lol

It may depend on the CCTV you are thinking of.

CCTV can mean anything from a doorbell to a system that is monitored all the time, but the latter is way outside home WiFi capabilities.

I have a Blink doorbell and 2 internal cameras running on my Eero 6.

It may be because they are Amazon products too, so Ring should also work.

I also think that many other products will work but TalkTalk would be unable to confirm these to you as there are so many variations out there 

If they say WiFi enabled they should work, but we do see customers who struggle to get some to connect 

You would probably do better to ask the seller or manufacturer to confirm if they would work with an Eero as if they say yes and it doesn't you'd have grounds then to return it and ask for a refund.
