Security cameras have definitely improved a lot since I last looked at them. Everything used to need hard wiring for power and all the apps were pretty glitchy last time I investigated.

I'm going to get the Ring doorbell, cameras with solar power and gutter mounts for the front and back, plus one in the main area inside. That should cover all the main approaches, and being a new estate most of the theives in the area will be targeting all the empty houses filled with brand new appliances anyway.

don't forget this.

if nothing else, it cuts down on delivery shitfuckery significantly

That is a lot more bold and eye catching than the Ring camera stickers!

Is that a Ring camera for just the regular cameras as well?

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, that's what I'm looking at. Then the one subscription and app will cover them all.

EUFY has no subscription, fyi,
