You won’t need them—until you do. And if they’re not up and functioning at that time, it is too late.
We have an “Arlo” security camera system, 4 cameras total, motion activated. They don’t record unless they detect motion but then they record both video and audio. We can also talk in real time to whomever is activating the camera. Gets some pretty interesting reactions. It is an older system (came with us from Minnesota) but it functions well. The only gripe is that as it is wireless we have to charge the cameras and it takes a good three hours per camera to do that.
We have a couple of short-term rentals in our neighborhood (rumor has it Airb&bs) and now and again younger folks show up. Neighbors are fine, but with people you don’t know moving in for a few days at a time—well, better safe than sorry.
