Security System for a 20 unit apartment!

Juwan Parker
Posted

Hey everybody!

My team and I are owners of a 20 units, divided into 5 separate buildings. We have had issues with people illegally dumping in our parking lots and adjacent grassy areas. I was curious do any of you have security systems you would recommend? We are looking for something that we can access from a phone and be able to pop in and see live or recorded feeds as well.

As always, I thank you for your inputs and help!

First of all you never want a "security" system. You open yourself up to liability if someone gets hurt and your "security" did not save them.  We have "surveillance" systems.

I like REOLink. All you need is a cable internet modem and you can run all your cameras via PoE (one cable)  Very simple; I set all mine up myself.  View live or look back in time.  (How long back depends on how much memory you buy.  Mine typically back up about 2 weeks.)  It's scalable up to 8 cameras per box.  Best feature, no ongoing monthly costs.   Here is a live screen shot of cameras on one of my apartments from 2 minutes ago.
