Remote Security System

:: Short Synopsis ::

Looking for recommendations for security systems (door sensors, cameras, motion sensors etc.) that can be accessed remotely without needing WiFi. We will use them only for the rehab portion of our projects and remove them (at least on the interior) after the Refinance portion of the BRRRR.

:: Long Explanation ::

We recently have been having issues with break-ins and are looking for a security system that will allow us to check in both on the progress of the contractors and the protection of our site. We are currently using SimpliSafe but it appears that while the sensors work without a WiFi signal we must have WiFi in order to view the live feeds from the cameras. As mentioned above I'd like to find a system that does not require hardwiring of the camera systems (Arlo maybe?) so that when the rehab is complete we can move the cameras to protect the exterior and use the remaining cameras on the next rehab project.

Thoughts? Are you all using anything to remotely view the project sites? Do you let your property manager get into the process sooner and have them take this responsibility? Are you using Project managers?
