I'm located in NYC. My budget, hmmm, I dunno. I'm not looking to spend thousands of dollars(on second thought, I might consider it if the security system is 5-star and virtually indestructible by brute force means, show me a demo/video to convince me). I'm a disabled veteran, and I need this security system, at least in NYC, where it is tough to get legal help when your property is stolen/violated unless you have something to bring to the table (evidence) The Ringpro system sounds really good, if there's a way to secure the camera itself properly, I'm all ears. I'm probably going to have 2 of those cameras outside, one for each door. My biggest concern is with outside tampering of the camera. I don't want someone to be able to rip it off physically and destroy it before they do something shady, that's why I wanted them to be hidden in the first place, as to not be obvious and out of sight/ out of mind. As far as the power issue goes, if worse comes to worse, I can manually tap into my wires and juice the cameras but I'm at home most of the time so battery power running out isn't too much of a hassle to get around.
The 2 door cameras are priority #1. I also want to install a third camera on my first floor. I have a trouble tenant down there (I'm the building owner) and need to keep a close eye on him(very hard to evict in NYC, so this is the best I can do for now until the legal process is complete). The camera will film the hallway only, which is fine. That's another camera that I need to be robust/untamperable. All suggestions welcome.
