I got some Google Nest cameras , and a google nest doorbell, they are expensive and use a lot of bandwidth , and need a power source, if you don't have big brother concerns they are amazing .
Can stream to my TV, phone or computer. Camera lets me know if it sees a delivery at the front door , etc . hears someone talk or a dog bark , clever technology.
This would work, Take a "Snapshot" with one of these puppies [bigwhistle][biggrin]

Got the sign. No dog.Quote:

The 6th is wi-fi. I use a Synology NAS drive to record. Use the HIKvision app for remote access. 2 of the cameras (front the rear of the house) email pics to my work email when we are out.
Yes I know the Chinese Govt are no doubt watching my dogs every move but that's their call.
After having success with the Ring Doorbell for parcel deliveries I expanded that ecosystem to cover the entire house/yard.
Integrated with Alexa we had the audible alert early
Morning that enabled me to catch the little ferals - rather than finding out in retrospect.
Immediate alerts are far more useful.
We have that - didnt stop themQuote:

Any movement or change in environment will send an alert to your phone stored for a week with normally two 5 second videos. You can instruct the slave phone to switch to night mode, reverse the camera, turn on the flash (like a light) send an audible siren as well as push to talk. Certainly an interesting rabbit hole to go down. Alfred Camera | Simple Home Security at Your Fingertips
If I was to install something I would look at 4K cameras.
