    Everyone needs at least one battery powered security camera. Recommend using something that avoids cloud bullshit. That limits things quite a bit, but I recommend lorex.

        How are you gonna catch your wife’s lover otherwise?

        To film things you might want to film temporarily - bees, crawlspace during heavy rains to ensure water isn’t intruding, TV when you’re adjusting an exterior antenna, etc.

      I got a decent motion-activated trail cam for around $50. It has no connectivity, so I need to occasionally transfer videos from the SD card. Works great.

      Amcrest and Lorex are both that use the same supplier - Dahua. Empire Tech on Amazon sells them at a good price.

      Just be sure to put them on a separate VLAN that doesn’t have any internet access. This applies to any security cameras, not just ones from Chinese companies.
