But sub'ing to this thread because I would like to he been very reliable and ar what the best options are as well. I currently have a camera hooked up to solar - that is great, but I'd like 24/7 recorded instead. |
My backyard camera is a Feit floodlight and camera (hardwired) that for under $100 has an incredible picture and stores everything to an on-board SD card. It has been very reliable and works with Alexa too. I already use the Feit app for many smart bulbs around the house, so no extra overhead there.
I get a lot of squirrel videos - might have to adjust sensitivity a bit!
I am not overly serious about the whole security camera thing. Just dabbling with the gadgets. I have considered the inexpensive Ring control panel kit, but mainly to add water sensors in a few places, like by the sump pump and basement ejector pit.
My side yard has a solar Ring stick-up arrangement that notifies of driveway activity. My garage door notifies when opened. And one of my garage door openers has a camera as well for the garage.
