Camera and Lock systems
I'm curious what others have found useful for their outdoor camera setup and lock systems (WiFi...?)
I am renting my new STr out later this year might place a camera indoors as well as changing locks and wanting outdoor cameras. Indoor camera ONLY for the vacant period for safety/peace of mind then plan to remove once renting it out but will keep outdoor cameras.

Hey @Tom E. so forget any cameras inside with guest present. Seems like a hassle to remove cameras from inside every time a guest is coming.
Outdoor cameras are good for near the front door but otherwise keep them out of areas people will gather or near pools/hottubs.
I have the Eufy cameras (solar) near the door and Schlage Connect Z Wave locks. Both are excellent and work great.
