[Shop-talk] Self contained home security cameras

[Peter Murray]

You'll want them to stream to the cloud, if possible. Otherwise, if they're
noticed, they'll be taken, and the footage will leave with them. Consider
Dropcam.

I wouldn't discount something like Simplisafe, which isn't too expensive,
and offers cameras. It'll give you notification of events at the house
(fire alarm, CO alert, water detection, etc) as well as unexpected door
opening, glass break, etc.
