Security cameras POP
If nothing more than installing them, shouldn't be expensive at all .
A couple of years ago i paid something like 5k pesos to get 7 cameras installed, wired and all, and the box thingy set up.
Do note that i got the material through the same guy, so he probably got a cut on that as well.
All in all, cameras + box + materials ( cables, lots of cables ) + installation ( drilling, hiding the cables, and power sources, etc, etc ) cost us about 30k pesos. So that was 25k for 7 cameras and the box thingy ( that still has a couple of free channels ) and 5k for the installation.
Short answer, Yes . Everything works just fine.
Long answer, its the kind of thing you play around with 10mn, just after you get it. Then you kind of forget about it.
I would have regretted it if it was an expensive purchase-- thankfully it was not ---, but i guess the utility of security cameras is off topic to the OP, and a debate for another day.
I dare say, that sounds about right. Maybe somebody who got cameras installed more recently, can chime in ?
Try and get a few more channels on your box thingy, than the number of cameras you are going to have installed, can be useful in the future.
I would say it depends if you have a bunch of big dogs or not.
Say, I come home late-ish, or not mind you, as i cant see my house when the gates are closed, i could in theory, check the cameras on my phone, in order to see if there is a bunch of guys waiting to jump me already in my patio.
That point is moot, in my case, as if my dogs are not waiting behind the gate to greet me, i dont need my cameras to tell me there is a problem.
Also, after i am hacked to death or something of the sort, my dr1 homies could access the cloud storage and organize a drive by shooting at the perps house's 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥴🥴
Also at night if I hear an suspicious noise I can check on my Cameras which 360 my house and the two that are on my MIL s house for any movement or people. Like Malko, my street dogs would be barking up a storm and possibly attacking a stranger.
We have 14 wifi Nest cameras bought on Amazon. 8 outdoor, 2 indoor looking out windows and 4 indoor interior. Easy to load app, install and use with several settings and options. Only 2 are using paid subscriptions. Have alerts that buzz phones for people movement and voices. Can see, review, copy, adjust from phones and pc anywhere in the world with a connection.
Have had for about 5 years with only minor issues that are easily fixed.
Anyone looking for security cams, just about all systems, can easily find them at night using their phone camera that picks up the cameras own uv ? lighting so can be a deterrent... or not?
They really have provided a lot of information that we are glad to have.

I have no gun, but I have a wrist rocket that I am quite accurate with and a five foot long ironwood club. We also have very bright lights. I have a zebralite flashlight thst will blind anyone.
I have 6 of them. Very good images and they work better than anything else I've tried. The only way to get better results would be with a wired system.
That seems to be fair to me, plus you'll have a wired system with a hard disk to record anything that happens.
The only problem with them is searching for an incident can be a little time-consuming.
