Home Security General

[Shroom King]

Remember that windows for bedrooms (including basement ones) have minimum size requirements because they need to be used for fire egress, which means, of course, that bad guys can also get in.

When it comes to growing thorny plants, mistletoe leaves are very sharp, and even the most PCP'd out druggie is going to have a bad time trying to climb through a mistletoe hedge to open your bedroom window.

Rosebushes on the outside of brick walls, anti nog spikes at the top of said walls. Hilariously and horrifyingly, just look to South Africa for examples of compounds and anti nigger upgrades for houses. Depending on threat level, bars on windows, and anti molotov bars for windows (yes those are a thing its wild.)

Any recommendations for brands of those WiFi home security systems.

I have a boomer that has an ancient subscription landline service that's more of a boomer security blanket than actually providing any security for when they aren't at home and want to convince them to switch.

They aren't suoer paranoid, they are fully committed to the deterrence selling point from the nineties. I don't want something that will run even if the power and Internet is cut off. As long as they make noise and communicate to them while the WiFi is on they should be content.

The issue is the market is flooded with chinky knock offs and overprice YouTuber advertised chinky trash. Reolink, that someone else recommended, is something I really like and would like the alarm/motion/door sensor equivalent to. Something with no subscription, no cloud storage, and a relatively inoffensive app that the alerts go to that isn't over $200. I'm not looking for something perfect or high end, just good enough for it's price.
