"home false sense of security" :P

Chris, you got the Frontpoint sanctioned cameras right? If so would you get them again?

I'm actually leaning toward several other third party options I've found on Amazon because they offer better cameras, local SD card storage to cloud / local download and I don't have to pay additional monitoring fees.

Something like 2 of these that I can also pan / zoom / tilt with: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HXUCUIE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2ZWW5EDCUMJJA&coliid=I9ASY1DOYQ9KW&psc=1">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HXUCUIE/re ... Q9KW&psc=1</a><!-- m -->

Or 2 of these and the Amcrest NVR + external hard drive: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I01Z1M2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2ZWW5EDCUMJJA&coliid=I3ITBKOZMRQDVDv">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I01Z1M2/re ... KOZMRQDVDv</a><!-- m -->

Edit: This is another potentially great option with the wireless and solar panel recharging. It would give me a lot of flexibility for placement and I could skip the costs of hiring an electrician. The cloud service fees suck, but at $2.50 / month per device that's not bad and probably less than I would spend with Frontpoint (i'll call to confirm the upcharge for video monitoring)
