THEABILITYTOprotect your home with
security cameras has previously been limited
by anything from cost to the bother of
installation, not to mention the issue of
where you’d save all the footage.
Happily,things are alot different in 2019.
Cameras can cost anything from the price
of anice meal to afew hundred pounds,
and theydon’t always need aprofessional
electrician to set them up –most can just
be placed on ashelf and configured with a
mobile app.The vast majority of cameras
also offer free cloud storage forrecorded
video,with more comprehensive storage
options on paid subscriptions.
