With the increased number of robberies, it’s time to think security cameras. I use a variety and the cheapest with a high degree of reliability are the Wyze Cams with internal recording on a micro SD card. They are not waterproof but can be placed inside the house, in a water free area (under eaves, etc) or even front windows. Mine are programmed to record on motion which makes it easier to locate recorded issues. The SD card can be inserted into a computer for easier reading. The Wyze Cam Pan will actually track motion through 350 degrees. If you have a strong internet, the cameras can provide alert notifications and remote camera access. I use the Wyze Cam Pan from Amazon for $38 and the 64 GB sd card for $12. Wyze Cams can be programmed for shared access.
Add the Amazon Alexa/Echo products to your security options. When I leave the house I say: “Alexa, Away Mode”. The Alexa begins to play a random voice track that simulates people talking with a TV playing in the background. The Echo Show has the ability to display Wyze Cams and Nest Cams on the screen. Remember, internet bandwidth can be a limiting factor on live streaming displays.
