home security systems
2016-Feb-05, Friday 11:03 amIs there a home security system that you can recommend for the home tinkerer?
I'd like a system that offers a few key features:
SkyBell
SmartCam
Ring
DoorBird
iDor
Lockitron
Korner (window sensors)
CleverLoop hub
ADT also send me a letter to reactivate the (old) system already in the house, but I'd rather have newer technology. Still, though, I'm not ruling out a paid service provider like ADT.
I'd rather just buy a hub outright, provide hard drive storage of my own, then slowly add devices to the house over time. Any suggestions?

I just learned about this earlier article covering OpenCV and the Raspberry Pi.
I'd like a system that offers a few key features:
- outdoor video cameras that also work at night (infrared) and in cold (-34C/-30F temperatures)
- cameras available in either wired ethernet or wireless
- hub can store video to local network disk (not just to a paid cloud service)
- includes a doorbell/camera device
- support Linux and Android for easy access
- wired power rather than batteries (don't sacrifice the environment for some temporary peace of mind)
