Installed a Camera at VR Home
I just got around to installing a camera on one of our homes just in time for high season. I have the phone app installed and get buzzed constantly with new motion-activated clips. Each time I'm notified i'm anxious to see what's going on but the clips keep coming non-stop. The videos offer great insight to what's going on but it's a bit too much. How often do you all check the video feeds? Do you have an app with notifications activated on your smartphone? I'm concerned that when I add cameras to the other homes, I'll be getting non-stop notifications.
Right now I have just one camera mounted at the exterior of the front door facing outward to the driveway. Some are saying to mount one facing the pool but I'm thinking this might be an invasion of privacy (I can see people wanting to get busy in the jacuzzi). What do you think?
