Video Surveillance at Flips
We are currently using Livewatch Security with still images in our flips which has been working great until we were burglarized over the weekend.
The burglars were pros and knew that the system needs a few minutes to upload the pictures and they disconnected the cellar signal before the images could upload and stole the panel which stores the shots so we can't see who it was. Luckily the alarm must have scarred them off because they didn't take or damage anything inside but they did get the a/c unit.
With this experience we realized we need video streaming inside & out, which is not supported with a cellular signal so we would have to get wifi.
Does anyone know the best way to get temporary wifi for a flip just for the security system, without getting into a long term contract?
Also, what is the best way to set up video streaming? We were thinking of just buying an off the shelf system that has night vision & is motion activated from Costco since we already have a monitored system through Livewatch.
Thank you!
