When my old system finally dies this is what I will replace it with. One that uses CAT5 or 6 cable. Amazing how cheap and good this stuff is now days.After spending a LOT of time researching, I've installed a couple of these Reolink systems for myself and others.

Which ring door bell cameras?
This is one of those "it all depends" kind of things. My OLD system came with 4, will work with 8. For years all I used was the 4 it came with. Had 2 out front to see the front from 2 angles. Mainly to keep an eye on the vehicles, then the other 2 covering back yard and side yard that was an L shape.Most of the units above come with 4 cameras. Are 4 cameras sufficient for a surburb residential home?
Most will store locally on either a hard drive or SD cards with an option or plan to upload to a cloud service.My thing is I don't want any internet access to be required - if SHTF I still want my surveillance system to work seamlessly
All the ones like I have that use a HD do not need any net access. I like having it connected as it lets me see the system from anywhere I have net access but, if the net goes down the system is still recording. If we are at home its still on the screen for use to see. One of the biggest up sides for me has been deliveries. Have LONG been a fan of shopping from home. Long before the net even. The one downside is when something is not delivered to us and the shippers will almost always try to say "maybe it was taken". With the cameras I can check, then call and say no one from your shipper was even on my street that day, so lets talk replacement. I noticed When Amazon started their own delivery they did have the drivers take a photo of the delivery for just this reason. So of course first thing that started happening is a few drivers would take the pic, then pick the package up and walk off. Well with a system you can offer to show them the driver picking the package up and walking off with it.My thing is I don't want any internet access to be required - if SHTF I still want my surveillance system to work seamlessly
If you care at all about your privacy, do not buy a Ring system.The Ring doorbell cameras work pretty good, are rechargeable, have good NV and give immediate alerts to your smartphone via wifi connection.
