Need a cheap but awesome wifi security camera with pan/tilt/zoom & 2 way intercom? I got one of these from wish.com and installed it yesterday. I expected it to be just "ok" but it's so good that I ordered 2 more for other areas of the property.

If you're away, it texts you when it detects motion. Through the app on your phone, you can instantly talk to whoever is at your home while you see them on camera. This is a lot more useful, reliable & a lot cheaper than a Ring doorbell. Keep your old doorbell and get one of these cameras instead! It's just $42 (+ shipping) with a 64gb memory card. $28 without memory card and you can sign up for $3/month cloud storage instead (this would be stupid IMHO).
It is wifi and controlled with a phone app but can also send a signal to something larger than a phone via cat/5 cable. Gone is the need for a central DVR and monitor attached to wired cameras that squirrels inevitably chew the wires on.
I know I sound like an advertisement! I get nothing if you buy one. I'm posting this because these things are THAT good20200215065500_20200215070000_0_thumb (resized).jpg.
