Wondering if you can set up a camera system like Ring or Blink?

I have both and they are very helpful.
@rockygems123 Will have to ck. what's allowed since it's an apartment.

@Shanus Ring has plug in indoor cameras. I have one trained on the door inside my apartment, on a shelf. A warning about the camera may or may not be required by law. One can set up an alarm sound or not. The camera has a small light that will go on when someone enters and the system is on. You can turn the system on and off via app or the internet. One can speak to someone through the camera.

Just wondering whether you sell your jewelry locally or a mail in service, and if a mail in, which one.

TIA!

@NYCLatinaMe Thanks for the Ring info. I sell it all locally to the same fellow who has a chain of shops. Since he makes jewelery, he's anxious to purchase anything gold or silver, melt it down and turn it into sheets or wire to use for himself.

@Shanus On the Ring camera, maybe should have mentioned one is supposed to get an alert on the app when the camera is triggered by motion. One time it was triggered by an insect! Sometimes there is a delay in the notification, it's a little wonky.

And my Ring battery needs to be charged often no matter if the batteries are new or not.

My Blink gets bug triggered too, it's pretty funny in the spring when they start appearing again

I keep my most valuable pieces in a bucket in a secret hole in the ground. Only I and one other person knows where that is.

@rockygems123 My interior camera is a plug in, so no batteries.

@Shanus - We have a LOT of books - in almost every room of the house. Two of them are "containers" for special jewelry. If you looked at the bookcase you would never know!

We don't have strong box or anything. Any valuable jewelry I have are in the bank. Outside of that, my other jewelry is home. Have never been burglarized (although I was twice as a child) Yes, I've put some in the pockets of hanging clothes. The jewelry value at home is 18K gold mostly. I have a lot of gold. Still have not sold any. I plan to leave it to my son.

The pieces I keep are all insured for replacement value. Since i wear them on a rotating basis, I don't want to look in pockets, etc. to find them to wear...my luck I'd forget which piece of clothing and donate it at a later date.

When my Mom was quite sick and had hospice nurses 24/7, some of her jewelry "disappeared". When I realized this, I quickly retrieved all her good jewelry and brought it home.

The bank safety deposit box is not a great solution for me since I wear my jewelry on the weekend, too when the banks are closed.

I also feel it's important to enjoy the jewelry we have and wear it often. I didn't purchase it or was gifted the pieces to be hidden or put where I can't wear and enjoy it.
