If any of you wanted to install some kind of camera, would you still go with wired IP, analog (which are really improving), Nest/Ring-type,.....?
I have a floodlight that has breathed its last, so I'm toying with the idea of getting a Ring Floodlight, to restore the lighting function and add the camera since we have been seeing some increased idiot activity in my neighborhood- I know they have all been hacked and that Amazon owns Ring, but I'd like to see the pros and cons from you people since I'm not going to look in consumer comments for accurate info. Yes, the floodlight has power.
Might go with a solar powered model, just in case the power goes out (it's a detached garage) and I have a UPS for the network.
Thanks
Even if you add the solar panel to your Ring device, if your power goes out, so does your wifi. Therefore, no camera.
Best if you're worried about surveillance if your power goes out would be to get the best wired TVI cameras you can get, and use a big UPS on the DVR.
