I switched to SimpliSafe this year. I don’t have cell reception at my house and every other alarm monitor requires a land line or cell reception.

I don’t have a glass break sensor. My plan was to keep the upstairs camera unplugged and only plug it in if we are going away for days. Their camera do have a physical privacy shutter which is closed unless the alarm is armed. They also make a sound when they activate. I have 2 motion detectors. One coving the front part of the house and one coving the back part. Two smoke alarms, one upstairs, one in the garage. Door sensors on only on the main doors. I also have a siren that I put outside. I have a portico coving my front door with an opening in it ~12 feet off the ground. I put the siren on a ledge in that opening. Get two water sensors. Put one behind your washing machine and one under your dishwasher.

Ring. Works fine for interior and interior. Setup and forget

I use Guardian for sensors and alarms, ring for the doorbell, and Nest for outdoor monitoring. That’s because Nest has better AI capabilities than Ring

I prefer the direct action of DevGru and sometimes Delta when I’m over seas.

Ring for front door. Blink everywhere else including a flood light in the back.

It’s good enough. We actually use it to communicate with each other too inside…lol.

The back floodlight camera works just fine. I feel like no one really does sensor alarms anymore, so most systems are fine, like Blink.

I am considering switching careers from architecture to UX design or Product Management, and am unsure about which route I want to take.

I believe it does as the application period to renew DACA benefits was reopened in 2020. Thoughts?

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
