Starting to look into getting a security system for outside the house since we have been traveling so much lately. My questions for you all are:
1. What type of outdoor system do you have?
2. Would you purchase the same one again?
3. What do you like about the system?
4. What do you NOT like about the system?
5. What app does the system use to send the pics/video to your phone and what is the cost?
6. Does the system have a sensitivity setting? We get a lot of critters running around so not sure how sensitive these systems are and what will trigger them.
7. Does the system have night vision and how good is the video/pictures?
Any other info you can provide about your system would help!
We are thinking 3 or 4 outdoor camera's with a good clear picture and video (so higher resolution would be better). Thinking either solar powered or plugged into power since we are gone 3 weeks or more at a time. Not sure how well battery powered would work.
Thinking 1 on garage pointing down driveway, 1 on house pointing at the barn, 1 on barn pointing at the house and 1 on the house pointing at the pasture - we get a lot of critters running thru here like elk, deer, bear, coyotes, cougars, fox down to turkeys, pheasants and such....so it would be fun to get them on film!
My budget can go up to about $800 if needed but would rather stay around $500.
Thanks
Cindy

Eufy offers an extensive line of indoor and outdoor security cameras. They are available on Amazon.com and from Eufy's website. I have a network of 6 indoor and outdoor cameras, some are a combination of a camera and flood light and some have two-way sound. The cameras are motion activated and sensitive to both IR and white light. The manufacturer provides a very nice application for networking the devices for real-time viewing and review of past events. Since all the cameras have internal encrypted storage, there is no need to pay for an expensive subscription The app allows full control of sensitivity, image quality, and other vital functions.
You will not have any problem staying within your stated budget.
