Hello,
So I have had a series of break ins and hit and runs on my parked vehicles at 2 different residences in the last 12 months and needless to say its getting old. I had been planning getting a camera system when I put up my new garage in the spring but I have decided that I want to move ahead now. I cant say that I am very knowledgeable on the technology but I am not oblivious either.
I am wondering what is out there, I am looking for a 120V system, I know there are ones that use memory cards and some are wifi based. I do have a wireless router at home that is always on but I don’t want to leave a computer on always. I know there are some systems which download to the cloud but I don’t want to get stuck paying a monthly fee either to a security company. I also know some systems are motion activated, our security system at work records 100% of the time but also has markers that show when there is motion in the camera, is that kind of technology available in the lower end stuff? I am not looking to spend $1000+ now, maybe later when I build the new garage though and can hard build it into the garage structure.
What options are there out there and what do people recommend?
