House alarm systems????

I understand you are looking at alarms.....we were in the same boat a few years back. Although our neighborhood and the county we live in are pretty safe we still felt compelled to get some sort of protection. That lead us to the Blink system from Amazon. Granted this isn't an alarm system but what it is is an affordable way to surveil your home. We have 3 cameras......one at the every entrance.....house front and back plus the one pictured here, guarding my mancave. After the initial investment (at least when I bought mine) there were no fees unless you want more than 2 hours of storage....never even come close to that as I look at them every day and delete the uninteresting ones. If you can set up the cameras you might be surprised how well this system works.....P.S. The cameras are all wireless.....that wire you see behind the camera is for my over the air antenna as we don't have cable.....or any TV service for that matter.

@Damon555 how often do you have to charge the cameras and do you get any alerts and have the ability to view on your phone?

The recommended batteries are Energizer Ultimate lithium. That it what I use and can go almost 2 years between changes.....if the camera isn't getting activated all the time......you can also hard wire them with a USB and never have to worry about batteries.....

Yes, I get alerts and can view the videos almost instantly. If they see the camera it's already too late!
