So what is a good camera system to own? I currently have ADT and I'm really not happy with it. It's expensive and the cameras only record 30 second clips. It can detect motion, it records 30 seconds and that's it, regardless of how long the motion event actually takes.
Example: someone drops off a package and they hang out on my porch - I have no idea what happens after the 30 second mark! It's insane. No way to change this either. The only option is for how long to wait between 30 second clips, and the lowest option is 2 minutes.
ADT is the worst. I have a Ring camera, I know, I know. It as before I knew of all this. But it works and keeps my house safer.
