I use a porch camera to verify who made made the booking is who checked in.

If you ask the tenants to assume the charge, they may also (this actually happened) take the security cameras when they leave ("but we paid for them"). 

One other thing, you may want to check is since most cameras these days have 4K resolution, you will need a computer and software that can handle it.

Then, sometime last year, someone stole an expensive wilderness camera and battery he had set up near the trail.

So I just figure they're getting the inspections off camera and not showing the real problems.Come to think of it, I've never seen one of those projects fail.....hmmmm...When I was doing all the high-end building, I would have a lot of clients come to me and ask why I wasn't doing _____ like "we saw on HGTV last night".

This includes exterior lighting, security cameras, storage areas that can be accessed by both tenants, washer/dryer areas, as well as any common hallways.

This was found by a friend of ours that has a sewer inspection hose (really cool thing with a camera and a light at the end).I don’t understand how the vapor ends up getting past the trap, but it does and smells awful.

I always recommend an inspection of the property and don't forget to camera the main drain to the road to make sure it is functioning and not needing repair or replacement.If there is a well and septic, I also recommend having those systems inspected.Also, check with the local government authority the property is located and see if the rental license is current and if there have been any violations or permits pulled.

Fake cameras that are used on exterior go up today.

Around here I can get a main line snaked for under $150 with camera - no way that's worth your 45 minute drive each way and headache to do it yourself.
