I have an external camera facing the front entrance to our property, and then some motion detection cameras inside, one pointing at each external door.
They don’t dial anywhere, just recording to surveillance rated SD cards. I have an option for them to call my phone when motion is detected, and I tried that out, it works fine. I only turn that in if we’re staying away from home.
This seems to be suitable for our area.
My sister-in-law has them all throughout her house and I'm just like, "You know you have a teenage boy, right? You ready for that?"
