My son has a lot of packages delivered while he's working so he installed security cameras. He bought them on Amazon, they were inexpensive and work extremely well. They send an alert to his phone if there's any movement on his property. He took a trip out west and let his teenage son stay at the house. My grandson called and asked me to come over and spend some time with him. I forgot all about the cameras until my son called me and thanked me for bringing dinner to his son.....said he was watching us on camera!

It is so nice you have done your best to protect your home. Florida does sometimes have prolonged cloudy and rainy days. I do hope you have success with your Ring system. You need camera's to watch the camera's because you have the porch camera facing the driveway and the gutter camera focused on the back yard and your solar line is easy access for clipping. Just a suggestion, putting your lines in conduit making it harder for the lines to be snipped. You are such a lovely couple and I do pray that this does work for you, on the other hand I know Florida weather and the high crime rate. I am at my South Carolina home now away from my Florida home and before I leave either home I stop and look and pray to God to place Angels on my roof top to keep my home safe from all harm. I know you are a Godly family and I know you understand what I am talking about. This is my 19th year going back and forth and God has not let me down not even one time, praise God. Welcome to Florida and enjoy your journey, may your day be blessed and full of happiness. .

First, the batteries last for 2-3 months without being recharged. So even if someone clips the wires, the camera will continue to work for several months. Second, I did not show you all of our cameras! And third, our house is in a small town in north Florida with a very low crime rate.

That's a great investment and peace of mind for people that own property and homes in different states. The squatter issue in Florida isn't any worse than any other state necessarily, but it's the squatter rights laws on the books there that need to be addressed. Heck, if a person chooses to become a squatter, what better place than the sunshine state. It's just absurd that you would need to go through an eviction process to have them removed from your home. That just blows my mind. It's great that you've taken precautions to secure your lovely home and loved ones while you're there and away. Good job.

There are always things that can still happen that will be out of your control, but you've done your best. There are always the kind of criminals that don't care if there are cameras or not if they think they have an easy target with no one home for months at a time. They know they can quickly break in, grab what they want and be gone before police get there. It sounds like you're in a smaller town where there probably isn't as much crime as in a larger city. But you can't worry about every little thing that can happen, it would drive you crazy.

For some strange reason, the solar panel did not maintain a change on our Ring Doorbell. I eventually bought a wall-wort-style doorbell transformer. Thankfully, there was an outlet under the house intended for a heat tape to be plugged into near our front door. I installed a second Ring doorbell when we built our garage. That just meant drilling a small hole for the wire in the wall and plugging it in. We stay home a lot. The cameras give us peace of mind because the neighbor's kids come over sometimes. Plus it rings on several smart speakers in and around the house when someone presses a button.

I wish we had known about the Ring benefits when we bought our house in Tennessee while still living in Maryland, since we had the house for almost a year before we sold the house in MD and moved there. We had to get ADT Services and really still didn't feel like we knew what was going on with the house. We had made friends with the neighbor beside us and had his young son doing the lawn mowing. But, it meant we had to make a point of traveling 8 hrs one way every couple of months to check on things in person, even though the neighbor was keeping an eye out. It wasn't much fun driving South in the middle of winter when the weather was unpredictable. Sending prayers all goes well for you with your second home. I have to say Elizabeth seems so much more vibrant with the stays in Florida. I know my parents really enjoyed living there after their retirement.
