Check out Ubiquiti's video systems - I've been highly impressed with their hardware and software.

You can sometimes get local ISPs to do the installs for much less than security companies (like 1/4th the price).

How about having Sarah Hartin from Oxnard California install the 4 security cameras on the exterior of your short term rental.  I would suggest the Arlo system. They are wireless.  Batteries last about 6 months.  Installing them isn't rocket science.  If Sarah can follow the recipe to bake a cake, she can probably follow the directions to install a camera.

Paul Sandhu from Coffeyville Kansas installed 3 of the security cameras on the exterior of his own residence.   On the interior of his rental houses he used Zmodo cameras.  He caught a burglar in the first 6 weeks.
