Alarm System For Flips

Fellow BP members,

I am about to close on the purchase of my first fix and flip in the Baltimore area. I am wanting to install a security system with cameras and entry sensors during the rehab process in order to deter break-ins and squatters. I had wanted to use SimpliSafe but I believe you need to connect to a wireless network, correct? Given that the property will not have internet access, what does everyone recommend in order to have a security system installed? Thanks in advance!

Mark

@John C. thanks for this information! You are correct. I spoke with someone at SimpliSafe and it uses their cellular data. The camera is the only device that needs an internet connection to function.
