Video Surveillance , alarm, doorbell ring, flood camera
It is my first property, is a duplex where I am house hacking in one unit and renting the other. What surveillance system have you worked with and do you recommend. to be budget-friendly and effective (Ideally, I like to lower insurance payments by adding a surveillance system to the property)

Check out Wyze. They are the most affordable as far as I know. Not the best for big commercial buildings where you might want tamperproof hardwired cctv, but for a duplex house hack these guys are cheap, flexible, portable, and wireless (some need power but some are even battery powered). I have dozens of their cams at properties and the doorbell on my house.
