Ring system user with ever expanding camera's.

Our house had a late 90's intercom system that we needed to toss during our kitchen reno. With it the front doorbell...it was all integrated. So started with the Ring video doorbell and shortly there after installed and Ring security camera on the drive side of the house.
We travel some so have a sitter come to our house to take care of our pet. One evening we noticed that an unauthorized guest stayed overnight with our sitter. Not cool. During our meet and great we did inform our sitter that we have camera's outside........sigh, shake head.....c'est la vie. The one and only gig for that sitter. Our current sitter is awesome.

After a recent riot in town and vandals cruising through our neighborhood (thankfully not down our cul-de-sac) after said riot, we installed another video camera that covers our backyard. This one turns out to be a real cool critter cam.

Anyhow, will these systems or any alarm system deter determined crooks. No. Deter those who are less confidant. Maybe. Assist in identifying stupid. Yes.
