Security Cameras for Rehabs

[Aaron Lands]

Hello Everyone - 

I am primarily a buy-rehab-hold for cash flow investor but I do 1 or 2 flips a year as well.  Often I am juggling multiple projects at the same time.  Fortunately I have never had a break in or theft at a property I was working on.  I do have a big problem, however, with people coming in the middle of the night and dumping their trash in my dumpsters (usually construction debris, but not always).  I have set up trail cams before but I never get a good picture of a vehicle, license plate, face, etc.

I'm really looking for a wireless camera(s) that I can set up temporarily (for a few days to a couple of weeks) at a property that will take and send photos to my phone and/or record video.  I did quite a bit of digging online but the options are overwhelming.  I would appreciate any recommendations from those of you who use cameras for security purposes.  Thanks in advance!

As Jim said, I would always recommend yard signs, and fairly visible ones, maybe a yard sign as well as a sign that tapes to the door. We've always used Simplisafe, and we find their service to usually be the cheapest between them and other companies like Koorsen, ADT, etc.
