Once the case, heavy-duty, wired surveillance systems were the only options available to protect a premises. Times have changed, and with the explosion in mobile solutions and the increased bandwidth offered by broadband and 4G/5G, there are mobile-friendly options for people seeking a budget-conscious security option.

The benefit of the Ring camera range, including indoor, outdoor, stickup, and floodlights, lies within its flexibility. Each camera can be connected to the same account and accessed via smartphone, alerting users to motion from all areas.

Of particular note are stick up cams, which can be placed inside or outdoors and on horizontal or vertical surfaces. Battery and wired options are available as well as devices that come with a solar panel and a backup battery pack. The Spotlight and Floodlight models, too, are of interest, given their inbuilt security sirens.

As there are a variety of different cameras users can choose from, it’s possible to design a mix-and-match setup to protect a premises.
