When your dog barks at night, get up turn lights on and check.. Dogs barking can be a deterrent and lights going on too. Get your locks changed, close blinds and windows at dusk.

Also, make sure anyone walking by your house KNOWS you have a dog. Leave out a dog bowl, a "warning, dogs" sign, etc. Burglars hate dogs.

There was a burglar caught near my house and he said he did not go into the houses where he found large piles of dog poop in the yard. He thought large poop, large dog.

Lights you can turn on/off from your bed & cameras you can check from your bed (like via your phone) can be really convenient and good deterrent for when dogs bark.

Yes. Even a camera doorbell is cheaper than nothing. One at front and back. Intercom on them too so you can tell them cops are on the way

I just wish people wouldn't buy the Amazon ones, they let the police look at any video they want and Jeff Bezos doesn't need any more yachts. Eufy makes a nice one that doesn't send the video off to some cloud server.

Apparently Eufy is sending data off to cloud servers. In going Unifi if they ever come back in stock.
