    Setup for tech illiterate family?

    A family member asked me to help with some cameras for their house. They're trying to stay under $1000 and I'm thinking we could start with 2 or 3 cameras for now.

    Camera placement and recommendations

    Hopefully this is the right forum for this. A family member asked for some help choosing and installing cameras at their house after two incidents regarding someone going into the garage and backyard from the alley.

    Cameras setup for townhouse located on a public park

    I have a townhouse that will be finished up soon and wanted some feedback on my plan for a camera setup. The townhouse opens to a park and while not a bad neighborhood, I'd like to make sure I have proper camera coverage for the unexpected. Being a townhome, I want to also be cautious of my...
