I’m trying to decide on the best security system. I need a doorbell camera, indoor cameras, and floodlights. I’m also considering adding door and window sensors. What do you recommend?
Avoid Arlo. Their systems can be unreliable, and the subscription fees are frustrating. There are better options out there.
Eufy is the way to go. No subscription required for most features, and their equipment is solid. It’s a good value for what you get.
I’d recommend Simplisafe if you want something easy to set up and reliable. Their sensors are great, and the monitoring service is affordable. The downside is that it’s more basic than systems like Eufy or Ring.
I’ve been using Ring for a couple of years, and it works well for me. The doorbell cam and floodlights are excellent, and the app is easy to use. The subscription isn’t too expensive, but it’s something to consider if you want features like video history.
It depends on your priorities. Eufy is great if you want to avoid subscription fees and have local storage. Ring is better if you want a robust ecosystem with lots of devices to choose from. Simplisafe is reliable and easy to use, but it doesn’t have as many camera options. Arlo has decent hardware, but the costs add up quickly with their subscription model.
