Pricing stuff out. My place is in the ghetto- like full-clip gunshots a block away ghetto. I have window cages and an outer cage and deadbolts on every door but I'd like more lockdown. Right now the cameras I have use outdated connectors and the alarm system is outdated and tied to a company with shitty monthly rates and upgrade-installation fees.
I've done a little research. But I'm not sure what I can get for cheap and do myself. Two windows in the front, front door and metal door in the back with a 5/8 bolt and lock. So far what I've seen is iCam and SimpliSafe might be my best bet.
I'd like cellphone coverage and online streaming if possible. I have about 1000 USD to spend but I would obviously like to spend less (so I can buy the fun stuff). I'm trying to keep a monthly service under 40 a month. Kind of a wacky question since some of that stuff totally depends on the area/provider. Figured I'd ask the forum.
What are you guys using for your homes/studios and what is it running you?
