HOME SECURITY CAM - What do You Use?

[TrailHunter]

I didn’t even realize that was a thing to have a LTE cam. Pretty cool option.

Ring has a Jobsite option for this as well... The GC on one of our jobs is using it right now. He set it up after someone broke in.

It’s on land, with no power or utilities.

It seems like the equipment to support and use Wi-Fi does not require much power. There are solutions...

Yeah, they're like game cams but in a lot of ways, better or at least, for home security. I think piginajeep has something similar but made by Arlo.

Yeah. His post here was the first I’d seen that actually. When doing my research a couple years back, I chose over eufy over arlo based on details/reviews at the time. Not sure how they go head to head now, but eufy does have a LTE option for those who want it.

For anyone interested, just got an email from Eufy that they started their 8th anniversary sale. Some good deals depending on what one needs if you click on the items to see the coupon price.

We had Simplisafe system for 4 years and then moved into a new house and the wife got us set up with a Vivint system. The Simplisafe system was always losing connection and causing all kinds of errors. I think we paid $40/month for this crap. The Vivint system is 10X better. We have 3 cameras on the exterior of the home and then the doorbell camera. It’s been a year and a half and they haven’t had one glitch. The software and hardware on these cameras is solid. The app mostly always works. I think we’re paying $80/month for this one. If you didn’t want monitoring, I would look and try to find some high quality, plug in cameras with WiFi like the ones I have. You can find the ones Vivint sells from the manufacturer I would think

Interested in this. I've looked at Reolink cameras and building me a machine to store them. Using something like blue iris to run them but I know there's alot of cost involved going that route.
