Security Cameras for Laundry Facilities

[Tony Castronovo]

ATTENTION Techies and Gadget Guys/Gals....I need some help. I would like to install some form of security camera in my laundry room at the apartment complex. Obviously, i want to keep it economical.

Option 1) Wireless camera that backs up data to the cloud (requires a monthly internet service, which I currently do not have at the complex)

Option 2) Camera that backs up data to an SD card (cheap, but I think the card will fill up quickly...like a few days at most)

Option 3) Mock camera (may deter crime but could have a liability issue if someone was ever a victim to a crime)

Option 4) Do nothing

Obviously this is not the same as having a home security system as most of us have an internet service plan. That just seems cost prohibitive to have a monthly obligation "just" for this one use.
Thoughts?
