Home security camera recommendation

CritterKeeper — Mon, 21 Jun 2021 12:21:02 GMT

I have an inexpensive "Ring type" camera on our porch. However, it is so sensitive that any time the flag moves or a bug flies by, it trips the sensor. I have it set to the lowest setting possible. It was draining my phone battery so badly that I turned it off.

We are having more problems (like a lot of people) with thefts of items left on the porch, so I would really like a reliable security camera.

Does anyone have recommendations, pros/cons, or any other info that may be helpful?

Thanks so much. :-)

We installed SkyBell. Highly reliable and no monthly fees.

Eufy TB200 is a doorbell type camera that will identify people versus birds, shadows etc. It will send you a facial snapshot when triggered so you can see who is there. It has military level encryption so would be very difficult to hack. Oh, and it let's you set up 3 responses to people on your porch if you arent home. No monthly fee, but can be a bit pricy at about $150 - $200. I have a friend who has one and I am in the processing of replacing my cameras with Eufy cameras.
