I haven’t installed anything yet, but have looked quite a bit over the last year. You need to critically assess why you’re looking to have a home security camera system. Are you just trying to make sure building service workers or house cleaners are in check and don’t really care about much else? Do you care about having a recording - if so, how far back in time do you want? Are you really into security and don’t trust a large corporation to manage the network for you (think Amazon which requires you use their network to manage the cameras)? Do you worry about the growing concern of very cheap foreign produced cameras which do the same (think China)? How much money are you looking to spend? All these questions will narrow down the vast number of options to a few that you can chose from. Personally, I don’t want anything connected to the public internet and want to run it all off a home server with my own storage and networking. I’m also willing to spend the money to build and run it (if you are as well, check out r/homesecurity, r/homeserver, or other security-focused sub-Reddit’s for in-depth discussion/reviews). If you don’t care about that and just want a camera to watch your apartment while away, literally any highly rated IP cameras on Amazon will do. For what they do, Amazon’s Blink brand of cameras work for most people just fine.

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.
