Not only do I like using the phone camera for expense tracking, its also because my tenants all prefer a mobile app rather than desktop for chat and rent payments.

This costs about $75 per month, or, if I can get one of the tenants to allow me to set up my "Automation Hub" (I use Smartthings HUB in my setup), I will give the tenant $25 per month towards their bill.There are many ways that Smart Devices can help, not only in the case of smoke detectors.I have motion detectors which turn on and off lights, cameras that record to the Internet, leak detectors that tell me if there are problems with my basement, particularly if one of my equipment like a Hot Water Heater or Hot Water boiler is leaking, etc.In fact, I normally buy properties in transitioning neighborhoods, capturing the appreciation as the neighborhood gets better.The Internet Cameras became very important in this situation for 2 reasons:1) I kept getting sanitation tickets for dirty sidewalks.

There are wires that stretch between each building for Duke Energy, Comcast, security cameras, etc.Last month a Rent-A-Center truck took out a bunch of my lines - I have the whole thing on video:https://youtu.be/BafD7fb5E-Mhttps://youtu.be/C0p-5q7MMiMTheir insurance company is refusing to pay the claim because they say my wires are not high enough and do not comply to NESC Guidelines.Does anybody know what NESC is, and as an apartment building owner is there some expectation of compliance?
