Wifi Cameras to help enforcing House rules

[Kevin Lefeuvre]

Hello all!

Due to a bad experience I am finally decided to install cameras, but want to keep them simple. Here's what I ideally need for each property:

- Two or max 3 cameras mainly to cover the entrance and the parking area.

- WiFi only

- ideally solar to avoid any cable 

- ideally directly streamed to the cloud with no local storage

- real-time access would be nice otherwise videos accessible with 10 min delay or so. Access via Android mobile.

I'd love to know if you have seen or maybe installed anything close to my description.

Also any legal issue/risk you have encountered when you want to use the content of the recordings to enforce your house rules such as the number of guests, overnight stays, smoking, or other rules?

Thanks!

You want Ring.  EVERYTHING you just asked for.  I love mine.  (I have the Floodlight Cam which is hard-wired where another exterior light used to be, but they have a solar option also)  You'll just want to make sure there's a strong and consistent wifi signal (I believe minimum 5mpbs) so there are no hiccups with uploading to the cloud.  You'll get instant notifications on your phone if you like, and can pull up the live feed anytime.  Great at night, too.

AirBNB requires you to disclose that you have surveillance on the property, but I know of owners that have successfully used their video as evidence to support claims against guests.
