Looking into this. What do you folks have, or what would you be considering before choosing or installing one? Thanks in advance.

I have three redundant systems. One is on a Synology NAS streamed to a local and a remote location. Another is on a Ubiquiti network. The third is a Nest Camera.
Most of the cameras are pretty good these days, but find one that has good night vision. To me the biggest consideration is where the video will be stored -- local and/or offsite/cloud. I prefer to have both as a method of ensuring the video captures are retained in case someone finds and destroys or otherwise takes my local storage.
If you have a specific system in mind, post it and I'll have a look -- I know this space pretty well.

I own a Safevant system, which is fairly inexpensive. The cameras have a good picture and it has a phone app. Night vision is their weakness, but I can still see the possums and armadillos at night. I have 5 outside, 1 in the garage, and 2 inside the living room. It is wireless, which is nice. I have two DVR systems with four cameras on each one. They have lasted about 5 years so far. You can purchase cloud storage if you wish.
There are better systems, it depends on what you want to spend and the functions you want.

We have ring. The front is covered thoroughly but I did not want them in the back as my sister in law lives with us and I pee in the back yard through out the day. I have impact windows that are very secure. There may be better options but ring is the only one I have had. I have no issues with it.

I have 300# of Mastiffs. Pretty costly but effective.

I've got a 5 pound Yorkie, she don't eat much. She barks and me or the wife bite.

Hikvision and Dahua are nice cameras. Axis will read license plates at night and also have second to none facial recognition

To keep my guns and ammunition safe, of course!

We have multiple ring cameras. I obviously have 1 at front door and have the ring flood light cams at each side and 1 at back of the home. They save to cloud for viewing later or in real time. We live semi rural so really dont believe we need anything beyond this.

All the neighborhood has ring cameras. Pretty good night vision as well. You walk down the street and it is a continous, you are being filmed announcement. That combined, with guys like my neighbor Nik who just sits on his porch and watches everything all day, provide all the security I need

It's about surveillance cameras, leave the politics out of it.

Our dog works pretty good for home surveillance. She won't let anything on or in the property. She's been trying to catch the neighbor hood rabbits for quite some time but hasn't figured out that they are quicker and faster than her. LOL

I have found that having good yard dogs is the best home surveillance you can have.
