Help with choosing home security system
I'm looking for a home security system well really just some specific features/components and I'm not sure what brand or package is recommended.
I would like:
- doorbell with camera (wifi)
- outdoor camera to view my backyard (wifi) (don't need lights or alarms)
- sensors to detect water (several toilets and hot water heater) (wifi)
- indoor camera in kitchen (wifi)
- free online data/video storage (just the past n days and only when something is moving?)
- ability to see video from internet and get alerted by sensors for water
I'm been looking on amazon and I'm overwhelmed with the number of products. I would like recommendations (with amazon links if possible).
Thank you!

As with this thread: http://www.doityourself.com/forum/el...ty-system.html
You are somewhat blending _intrusion alarm_ and CCTV together. While often marketed as a single system by some mass market installers; they are really two very different systems.
That said:
Here's a pretty good overview of the current state of doorbell cameras: https://www.safewise.com/resources/s...l-buyers-guide
If your only worry is for water detection, here's a roundup of those: https://www.electronichouse.com/smar...-leaks-happen/
For the general Wi-Fi cameras, both Linksys and Dlink make pretty good ones.
The thing you must keep in mind; that this is a lot of bandwidth that these things will occupy on your home network.

I think Honeywell lyric system is a perfect option for you. It gives you all the benefits like:
- More control through your smartphones.
- Design features are great.
- Allows knowing the threats around you.
- More commands and motion detection.
- Handy and all-time monitoring.
Also, I would like to share a link which I found quite interesting:

Shelly... welcome to the forums.
Your links looked more like advertisements as I wouldn't find them "quite interesting". Can you comment on them ?
