What systems do you guys like?

After the break in I bought Ring cameras and had nothing but problems. I'm now looking for another brand.
Considering Arlo (most expensive fee), Google nest, and Blink. I'm open to other suggestions too.

Vivint is what the wife has for the house, spendy if you ask me but it gives her a sense of peace so...

I do get a discount on home owners insurance because of it.

I have a Blink system which ive been 95 percent happy with. It has a large storage capacity and the video is quality. The range is good, i have one camera mounted in a tree a ways from the house. Its easy to use. Id buy it again.

Is it a blue tooth or hard wire camera?

ADC &DWC that's good to know, what are the few issues you are having with it?
Oh Snap the outdoor units are wireless with a 2 year battery life. Indoor cameras are plug in.

Vivant is expensive
I'll look into simpli safe

Its all wireless that goes to my phone. Sometimes ill end up with a motion notification from a camera that was hours prior. Its rare but it happens. Would be concerning if that failed or late notification was someone creeping around outside. But like i said, its a rare occurrence that happens.

Arlo is ok, the delay for the camera is about 4 min. Sometimes the battery last a month sometimes a week, depending on how much action they see.

I have no personal experience, but my sister uses ring cameras and is always sending me videos of coyotes in her front yard. She just bought 2 more and loves them

Forgot to talk about those two things. Blinks delay is about a second and i still havent changed batteries after a year and a half. Had to replaced one when a woodpecker and a squirrel teamed up on one. They buzz quietly when they activate, must irritate them. Wasps seem attracted too.

I am surrounded by good neighboors, most exmilitary and being the oldest one around they take care of things for me. I am surprised that in SD ND NM Iowa Kansas that you need such things

We have Vivint and also supplemented some WYZE cameras as well. There’s not a spot around the house that isn’t covered. We had received several threats during the fight for CJ and felt it was the best protection. If that doesn’t work I have several recently retired neighbors that enjoy target practice, lol. Been called several times asking if the car/person in my yard was supposed to be there.

Woah that's a big delay and charging for arlo. Very good to know. I have been considering the floodlight with solar panel.

That's awesome about Blink.

My ring cameras would delay with various time delays. Sometimes it would record somrtime's records late sometimes didn't record. My ring doorbell didn't record the car the guy used even though he parked in front of the doorbell camera.

Another option is a wireless trail cam. Can get some brands for $100 bucks and monthly plan for $5. Then you can move it around where needed for surprise.
