Security Systems for your STR.
Hey everyone.
Our Airbnb came with a Vivint Security System(door sensor, smart deadbolts, window sensors on all windows, video doorbell, camera in back and a few other things). It's $50 a month for the monitoring.
How much Security do you guys have in your houses?
If I switch to something like ring, and just have a camera on the outside and a video doorbell. It ends up being $10 a month and would have the equipment paid for within a year.

If your house is rented alot you'll likely never be arming the system.
Just use some ring cameras. You can turn on motion notifications when no one is there.
