I live alone and my neighbor found some drunk and/or high folks trespassing on my property while I wasn’t home the other day. I want to put up cameras as a safety thing, but I hate Ring.
I’m a broke botch rn too, so the subs for the cameras or whatever can’t be crazy.
The subscription is only if you want cloud backup of recordings as far as I’m aware.
Mines blocked at the router but I unblock it when I go on holiday. Can still view SD recordings. Never had any issue.
