Asking the Freeper community for advice on features to evaluate and even product recommendations.

Anyone have some experiences they are willing to share?

Dogs.

What do you mean by “outdoor”? Are you looking for outdoor security cameras?

I’m particularly interested in this, too.

Geese.

I have a Zosi. Works good when I’m home, but off and on when I’m away because the wi-fi loses internet ability so I can’t see the cameras on my phone.
Bought the components separately and put it together myself.

One word: Velociraptors.

[Eccl 10:2]

I’d get one, but I’m not left-handed

Guinea hens or peacocks.

I just bought one of these with 4 wireless cameras for $14, without a hard drive because I had a spare from a dead computer:

It has everything you need. It works out of the box. The hardest part is deciding where to cut holes in your house to mount them. I am going to mount them on posts, myself.

The only concern I have is they are made in China (they all are), and I am sure they will be selling the feeds to the NSA. I intend to keep mine offline most of the time and just record to the hard drive.

If you search enough you can find them even cheaper.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I meant $145. That was a typo.

Have a chihuahua as the alarm dog and a pit/shep as the greeter.

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah but they are so expensive when you can find one that is. 8>)

Male German Shepherd Dog.

[gundog]

I dunno. Raccoons can be hell on them at night.

I’ve used Optex® Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Alert Systems for around 5 years and found them to be very good but they do not tie into phone or computer. They just sound a warning alarm.

Loving my Nest Cams, gotta say.

[coaster123]

Will geese alert to a bear?

[Big Red Badger]

Seen a “Nest” work,,,
I’m still looking.

[NoLibZone]

I have Blink.

Easy to use great image quality and save to the cloud.

Water and cold proof, wireless.
