Also, a smart hacker can block the IP address or even send a false image to the IP address.

Unless you are monitoring 24/7, and have a reactionary response team ready at all times, they're pretty much useless for protective purposes. They are however a novelty and their images could, and I emphasize the word could, alert you to someone trying to gain access to your house. Wait, are you home?

Be safe my friends!

Many of the new home security cameras are HD and alert you from your phone. I can be anywhere in the world and see and talk to people from my phone. Like you said though if your not home by the time you can do anything they are long gone.
At the end of the day they are a deterent and can lower house insurance.

A side note. Some security companies use data collected from your cameras and sell to 3rd parties. Amazon paid
1 Billion dollars for Ring, wonder why?

Locks only keep out honest folks

A good dog, would be my choice. He'll make sure there's some DNA left at the scene, unless I haven't fed it lately.

In all probability someone up to no good will be wearing a hoodie and you'll see no details. Height and maybe weight is it. Probably motion sensor bright lights and a siren will scare them away. I know a guy who wired up some audio from a Godzilla Movie and hooked it up to a few speakers and if someone comes on his property motion sensors turn on floodlights and the audio. It could scare away the Devil.

If you have a doorbell camera you can't mount it on your front door if you have a storm door because the glass will interfere with many of the functions.

When I was in the patch my wife felt better with all the bells and whistles alarm system with cameras and sirens, motion detectors. We moved from the previous home because of a break in, so we have it, but since I retired for good I haven’t even turned it on, got a mutt that will wake me up and I bite worse than the dog. But when I ain’t home it did make me feel better about the wife. Me if I lived where you do Glen, it would just be fun watching all the critters. Your off the beaten path but that just means you have more places to bury the bodies. P.s. turn off the cameras before you shoot them and disposal.

I was thinking the same thing. Bet Glens got a tractor that digs a nice hole too.

Bury...!
Worms n critters gotta eat, too.

Idaho ~ SSS law in effect

Finally learned enough to get the camera where I wanted it, had to download a Router Signal App for my phone to learn that the Logs kill the signal very effectively

Where I wanted to mount the camera had a 3% signal nicely protected in a corner on the porch, had to drop it under a support log for the roof and I am getting a 93% signal. Not quite as protected from the weather but still under cover at least

I learned I probably need a Signal Booster LOL

Gave me a good shot of the pole barn too that corridor between the House and Barn should catch quite a few animals also and there are motion detector security lights there too

Shan wants me to add the same to the back porch, and a Tilt and Pan for inside the house

My BiL and I were pretty happy with the Quality of the Vid it is a 4k stream and the single pics we enlarged held up really well and didn't get very grainy at all

Once the ground thaws

Around these parts we just take em to the Desert. The coyotes make quick work of them.
