• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here!

Upgraded security...

I finally upgraded to 4 wifi security cams with phone app, activity ones, alerts and sound detection along with voice...

Much better than a dumb camera that only offers a view.

At $109 bucks for 4 cameras I will buy another 4 and put 2 in the shop too
 
I’m going to finish off mine this year from the garage to the house drilling through the concrete was a pain but in the end there will be 2 in the alley, 1 in the garage and 2 on the house.
 
Yeah, well worth it for the peace of mind. I have two shops and keep an eye on them all the time. Cams with local storage are great until the power drops and they don't reboot! I'd suggest a UPS where it's needed. The alternative is a more expensive (remote human) monitored system, but I can't justify that cost.

Where did you find that deal?

Give your broker a call. My insurance discount for a monitored service covers the monitoring cost. I only monitor the alarm though, I do all the camera monitoring myself through their hardware apps - some are better than others. I like the ones that can discern the difference between a human casing me out, a squirrel looking for nuts, and a spider crawling on the lens. Nothing worse than an alert every minute while a spider builds a web. I'd love to find a decent camera with local storage on a hidden drive because my provider connection is too slow. So far, I have not found that on battery powered cameras - only hardwired and I don't want hardwired.
