The only limitation is the power goes out the cameras don't work. It notes the power outage with an sms message and it sends and sms message when power is restored.

Solar powered wireless driveway alarm. A little motion sensor/solar cell unit you stick up somewhere outside, a receiving unit you plug into an outlet in your house, and a selection of chimes and volume control to know when it's triggered. They're roughly $50.
I have a bunch of PoE cameras and two wireless ones -- For the PoE cameras, I have my router, the PoE switches, and the DVR on uninterruptible power supplies. That way when power goes out (or someone tries to be tricky and cut power to the house), everything stays on for at least a half hour (maybe more -- I've never tested it to failure).
An added benefit -- where I live we don't get cell service so our cell phones work over the internet. One day was windy and I called my wife to move the car from under a tree -- she said the power was out, then she said "wait -- why is the phone working???" It was because even though we had lost power, we hadn't lost cable and so still had wifi and internet access at home because all that stuff was running on battery backup.
I have one - too lazy to install it.
But that won't tell me whether it is a lion, tiger or bear out there.
I have the router and cable modem plugged in to a UPS already. But I have four cameras so I need to buy four other UPS for the cameras. The base station has a battery back up already.
Hey Guys, don't know if I posted this in the right place, but here it goes.
I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for a wireless security camera that could be checked via a phone/laptop/etc.
Most likely positioned at the peak of my roof pointed at the driveway street area. Don't really need a package with a ton of cameras, maybe 1-3.
Not looking for really cheap and blurry, but more of a midrange if possible.
Thank you, SP
BBC article describing how Ring collects data from the Ring doorbell ...
I'd stick with a wired system; there is a lot of data to move, and we already have enough radios in the neighborhood. Keep in mind that cameras fine during the day, can be pretty worthless at night (when criminals usually are about). ...
