Four 1080p HD wireless cameras running 24/7 and set to record during motion. Push notification on my cell. Peace of mind for our new beautiful home/investment.

I would like to set up a couple of cameras at some point; at least one for the garage and another for the front door. How did you guys handle running the wiring for your cameras?
I would like to go with PoE (power over ethernet) but getting the network wiring to certain places may be difficult. Sure, there are wireless camera options but those will still require running a power cable somewhere unless they use batteries which can also be inconvenient.

Funny enough just picked up two of these Kuna Toucan cameras with 2 way voice myself. Runs off the power from the exterior light so no batteries to replace, is pretty discreet, no wires to run, two way communication, free push notifications, and uses wifi. Down sides are no night vision and depending on wifi signial can get a little glitchy. Not high security but easy to setup and install plus I have a full security system covering the house and garage with cell back up.

Yes, 3 cameras covering front garden, driveway and garage.
Links nicely to an IOS app. Main use to be honest is to check if wife is still there so I know wether to come home early or not |

Interesting - a two car garage with single doors. I thought they only did that with three.
I just hope cars don't continue to grow or I will have three useless garage spaces. Love this thread and how everyone gave a yes or no answer haha.. that is a veteran group of first responders! I use an ARLO system for monitoring |

I personally prefer a large singe door so I can park a little slanted. Give the kiddos and Mrs extra room to open doors.

I have a Swann camera 8 camera setup at my house. It is wired so was kind of a pain running the wires in the attic. But its worth it. I can see it from my app. It holds up to 30 days footage with the ability to download to a USB or phone.
To be fair, I got this a few years ago before the whole wireless systems came out. From what I've been reading and seeing, the wireless ones are much easier to setup. |

Interesting that no one here has mentioned the Nest Cam - probably because word got that the software crashes often and that the cameras frequently see things that aren't there. I’ll be replacing mine soon.

Just make sure you get them from a US supplier or US OEM partner...most the ones floating around on Amazon/eBay were meant for the Asian market and come with hacked Chinese-to-English firmware; no bueno when you go to update the software in the future. |
