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

I guess so, but has power welded to the video cable, so you just pull one cable.   It is pretty slick for the $$$.   You need a wall wart and a couple of 1 to 4 cable adapters for the power, but that was all included.   I had an older 4 cameras and 8 channel dvr, but I wanted at least 5 cameras

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’

They would have to tear the camera off of the mounting surface to get at the wires, as they’re run through the base and not externally. Granted, they could do the same thing to any other camera, wired or wireless, and take it out of operation in a heartbeat. I try to mount my cameras well above

Interesting. After reading your email I went to the Island of Large Wimmen and did some searching. There is a company called “Zosi” that is all over this stuff to the point where they sell so many different models and setups it’s mind numbing to look at them after a while. They offer an 8 chan

Looking at what I might do for security cameras at the new ranch. At the former house, I had some really basic DLink IP cameras with power run to each, which was sort of a PITA as I had to run extension cords for the power bricks. I’m looking at POE (power over Ethernet) cameras now as it would
