rf9000 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 To All, I have been going over this for days. I can't decide what the best option is. We had a break in at our construction and site and we want to monitor it. We currently have no WIFI there as the home is being built. I have looked into Arlo cameras, Ring, etc. The options for connectivity are either a 4G service from Verizon for each camera (expensive), or utilizing a portable hotspot from Verizon and using WIFI cameras (less expensive). Of the latter, I worry about the service staying connected and not dropping in and out. My ideal situation would be this: have a couple cameras on the exterior of the home along with a couple cameras in the interior that would begin recording when motion is detected. Also, for the interior cameras, to have a siren go off when motion is detected. I'm not familiar with all the unique devices out there so thought I would ask you guys. Shoot, even making up a makeshift alarm panel to accomplish this using some DSC parts or something would work too. just want to keep it simple. I will need it to monitor for several months. I do have power there of course. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thepritch88 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 If it was me I would just get a few poe cameras fed from a local nvr somewhere on site, add a monitor and if there is another break in you can review the camera footage, just having the cameras up would probably put off any would be burglars anyway. If being able to check the cameras remotely is important to you just get a router that can use a 4g dongle and plug the nvr in to the router Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
