[Shop-talk] Home surveillance system

[Jeff Scarbrough]

I have four Wyze cameras - three of the cube cameras that plug in for
power, and one floodlight camera that runs on house power.  I have mine
connected to Google home, but it isn't required.  I do pay a yearly fee for
enhanced recordings and notifications, but if you can get by with the basic
free service, it's pretty easy to keep track yourself.
