yeah, that is where I was at last year. I liked the simplisafe system,
and their cameras seemed reasonable, however the ring monitoring is $10
a month vs simplisafe starting at 15 and going up quickly. However ring
wanted $200 per camera, so that knocked out their cameras. Ended up
with ring security and doorbell, and then 8 camras and the NVR/SVR/DVR
as you may want to call it, for $220 delivered. That gives continuous
video all around, plus the doorbell and interior alarms, and monitored
for about $500 and the $120/yr monitoring cost. Without the
monitoring, you get alerts from the ring system, and can arm/disarm it
from your fone, and 24/7 access to the 8 video cameras on the fone or
monitor. Nobody has done anything nefarious since it went up, and
neighbor reports of nefarious activity have dropped to 0 after I put
this in and quite a few others put in the ring doorbell.
Unfortunately, ring was swallowed whole by the goolag.

Thanks, everyone! Lots of information to digest….
After giving this some thought. it would make just as much sense to go
with coax and hardwired cameras as it would with POE cameras, as I’m
going to be running cables to each camera anyway. That broadens the
options for sure. I don’t care if it’s IP based or coax and an NVR, so
I would think going with an integrated camera and NVR solution would
probably make more sense and be less troublesome since it would be a
complete system and not a collection of disparate parts.
More to study…
