Security cameras and flood lights

Jennifer M.
Posted

Hi there, I just closed on my first cabin and was wondering about security camera, floodlights and the ring doorbell. Initially I was thinking of getting both a floodlight camera for the front/driveway and ring doorbell for back where the door is located. Possibly can even add an extra camera in the back overlooking the deck. Is that overkill? 

I wanted the doorbell in case they need to contact me in case of an emergency without a phone and/service. Not really for the doorbell function itself

Floodlights since it's so dark at night. But do you put floodlights on a cabin in the woods? Would that take away from remote cabin feel?

Are security cameras necessary? To what extent? 

Thanks in advance for your help
