Hey Ozbargain.
I just started renting a smallish unit, and I've become uneasy about my neighbours and want to install a diy home security solution.
The main thing that irks me about my place is that the front door is an indoor door, and while it has a security door, it doesn't look like it'll hold up a break in.
I'm looking for a cheap and simple home security set up. Something that has - at bare minimum - door sensors and a way to notify my phone On or Offline if it has been triggered.
What kind of solutions do you have at your place? And what suggestions would you give someone like me?
Mine consists of just one Xiaomi Xiaofang camera, pointed at the door and recording on a loop on 32GB microsd
Costs under $18 and very easy to setup, and also can notify you via in-app notifications whenever motion is detected, however it's fairly rudimentary and it's easily triggered giving you false alarms, so I don't use it.
Xiaomi also has security kits for around $50 USD which includes a pack of sensors. https://www.gearbest.com/alarm-systems-c_11986/
