Security camera set up

Hi everyone,

I just closed on my first multifamily property and am now starting to add things that will make self managing the property easier and more efficient. One of these things that I've been thinking about is putting security cameras around the property (specifically in the driveway and front entrance area).

Does anyone have an recommendations on how to do this and products to consider?

    @Lucas Vanroboys  We us a speco blue system with high quality cameras. The issue we had is initially we had an arlo camera on cellular and the delay to record due to cellular and the quality of the picture made it so we could not identify a truck doing dumping on the property. We mostly wanted to monitor the dumpster.  The better quality system the only issue we run into is when it goes offline due to the wifi going out.  Tenants don't seem to mind.  We monitor dumpster and parking. Helps judge snow removal, lawn guy and when cleaners come.
