[QUOTE="shorai, post: 1123199, member: 24498"] I have a 'Ring' front door button and camera. I would not recommend it. a) It takes 15 to 20 seconds to register on my phone. By then, whoever has gone, gone to sleep or at my throat with a knife. b) The phone app does not pop up, so another 20 - 30 seconds logging in and opening the app, switching to live mode (it defaults to some historic image that has no useful content). c) After a month, your internet storage is trashed unles you pay what to me is too much money. Whatever you get, make sure that Internet visibility is free. I bought 2 cheap chinese from deal a day, they work well for what they are My propety is large, so I need lots of cameras. I prefer lots of fixed cameras to one or two steerables. My best system is an old (25 year) 16 channel AVTech. Cant get new cameras but most of the old ones are still working. Hikvision and Dahua are great, but I only have one of each. I don't think they give multi camera overview unless you buy a recorder as well. [/QUOTE]
