    Default Exterior security camera systems

    Anybody have any experience with exterior camera systems? Looking for an affordable system.
    I think I would prefer a DVR type system as opposed to a cloud based, would prefer not to be bound with a monthly payment.

    Ideas?

    Thanks

    We're happy with the Ring system we installed. $10/mth. though, unlimited cams I believe. We have 6 going.

    The good thing about the cloud storage is nobody is going to steal it.

    If I broke in and murdered you and your family and managed to steal your dvr and destroy it then nobody would have video of me committing the crime. Not so much with the cloud.

    You wouldn't find the DVR Ray.


    But I would find you.........

    This would generate a Ring alarm notification to our phones/watches via cellular network.

    If it's convenient to hardwire everything via twisted pair and PoE, that would probably be optimal. Have recordings go to on-prem NAS with replication to the cloud.
