Any companies any of you use? Love or loathe any based on first hand experience?

Not sure where to start.

Helpful ideas, snide comments, an humor all welcomed.

Chew on a piece of straw and tell 'em they got a purdy mouf.

Dog as an early warning/alarm

Sufficient amounts of jacketed hollow point projectiles to ✋ unwanteds.

It is something my parents might be interest in.

In my neighborhood, I'm the Bad Element.

Your place or the cabin?

Uses it to watch the front door, and to spy on me while I'm smoking my cigar on the porch.....heh.

She can talk to me, I can talk back, remote control lets her swivel the camera almost 360'degrees, and up and down, etc.............from her IPhone.

She can put a card in it, an program it to take a photo at varying intervals, video feed, etc.

I think you can control up to 6 at once using the iPhone...........$60/ea as I recall.

Not sure which one we have.......says Amcrest 1080P...........Amazon has a ton of different models, sets of 8, etc.

It's pretty cool

We have a Simply Safe alarm system that we like very much. The system is easy to install, includes motion, entry, glass break, smoke and other sensors. It's a wireless system that connects via cellphone technology and costs about $15/month for monitoring, but can be used without monitoring. They have cameras too, but I use another system.

There are water alarm sensors, SimplySafe has one along with a freezing alarm. They have a fire alarm and a carbon monoxide alarm. The smoke alarms are good but the CO alarms failed after a couple of years. Since they are more important to occupants I just bought two send alone CO monitors.

Good point. A hidden or off site backup of the video is a good in case the burglars find the video recorder and carry it away.

Things have shifted a little bit in less than two months. My wife has been showing interest in the Ring system....and I've been trying to dampen the enthusiasm....I just haven't seen the need. Neighborhood has been pretty safe. We did have a package either get swiped....or I suppose misdelivered...and I had my car console rifled one night, though nothing was taken.

But, now, my doorbell has decided to crap the bed and I need to buy a new unit; assuming I can't fix it this weekend. I can replace it for probably less than $20, but that doesn't mean I still won't get talked into some video something or other soon after.

Anybody using Ring or Nest? Seems a bit pricey for what you get. Thoughts?
