[QUOTE="LightningCrash, post: 3044830, member: 4278"] Stay way from the all-in-one panels, where the cell radio is in the touch panel. All an attacker has to do after kicking your door in is smash that panel, and the alarm is gone. Eg the Honeywell Lynx Touch panels. Ring launched a security system of their own that will ship in November. Ring takes product security pretty seriously, so I anticipate few issues with this product. Monitoring is $10/mo or $100/yr. [URL]https://ring.com/protect-security-kit[/URL] For cameras, you could use IP cameras and feed to a PC running something like BlueIris. You'd need a bit of storage on the PC, but it's commonly done. Electricians could run low voltage lines pretty easily to wherever you need them - PoE cameras a pretty popular for this. For PoE you'd need a PoE network switch to feed the cameras network and power. Since IP cameras are pretty horrible at security, you'd want your equipment to isolate them from your main network. There are also IP cameras like the Nest and Lighthouse that have cloud storage options and AI (eg "We see someone on camera we've never seen before, Alert!")
