Alright, so you wanna know about them Ring camera thingamajigs, huh? And what else you can get instead? Well, lemme tell ya, I’ve seen a thing or two, and I can yap about it for a bit.
First off, them Ring folks, they make these doorbell cameras, right? Fancy stuff, lets ya see who’s at your door, even if you ain’t home. Sounds good and all, but lemme tell ya, it ain’t all sunshine and rainbows.
Now, I heard some fellas sayin’ that thieves, they ain’t scared of them Ring cameras. Them smart crooks, they know all about them cameras and they just cover their faces or somethin’. Makes ya wonder what good they are, huh? Spend all that money and the bad guys just laugh at ya.
- So, what else can ya get? Well, there’s other cameras, you know.
- Some that just record all the time, no fancy stuff.
- And some that send you a message when they see somethin’ movin’.
The thing is with Ring, they want you to pay them every month, like rentin’ a TV or somethin’. And they just upped the price, the greedy buggers! So, folks are lookin’ for somethin’ else, somethin’ that don’t cost an arm and a leg every month. Makes sense to me, I always say a penny saved is a penny earned ya know.
Some folks just want a camera that records, that’s it. No fancy talk, no monthly bills. Just plain ol’ seein’ what’s going on. And there’s plenty of them around, believe you me. You can go to the store, or even order online, though I don’t trust that online stuff much, someone might steal your money. I like to see the thing I am buying in person, with my own eyes then pay the money to the shopkeeper. I am old fashioned that way ya know.
Now, some cameras, they got lights on ’em. Bright lights, scare them critters and maybe them bad guys too. That’s a good thing, I reckon. A bright light can do wonders, make it look like the sun’s comin’ up right there on your porch. And there is nothing more annoying then having some cats messing around your garbage at night. Those bright lights they sure shut those cats up.
And then there’s the talkin’ cameras. You can actually talk to whoever’s at the door, even if you’re miles away. Sounds like somethin’ out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s real, I tell ya. Though I don’t know why you’d wanna talk to a stranger through a camera, seems kinda fishy to me. I prefer to talk to people face to face. But each to his own I guess.
Another thing to think about is where you put these cameras. You don’t want ’em too high, or you’ll just see the top of people’s heads. And you don’t want ’em too low, or some fella can just cover ’em up. Gotta find that sweet spot, you know, where you can see everything but they can’t mess with the camera. It is common sense really, not too high not too low, just right in the middle so you can see everything. I put mine next to my window so I can see everything on the street and scare away those kids who keep throwing eggs at my house.
And don’t forget about the weather. These cameras, they gotta stand up to the rain, the snow, the sun, everything. You don’t want a camera that stops workin’ the first time it gets a little wet. So, make sure you get one that’s tough, one that can handle whatever Mother Nature throws at it. This is important because you know you do not want to buy a new camera every other week. You want a camera that can last you long. Like them old things my momma had, they never break.
So, there ya have it. A whole bunch of stuff to think about when you’re lookin’ for somethin’ other than them Ring cameras. Don’t let them fancy ads fool ya, there’s plenty of good stuff out there if you just look around a bit. And don’t be afraid to ask questions, shop around. That is how you get a good deal ya know. And remember, a good camera is one that keeps your home safe and sound and does not cost you a fortune every month. That’s what I always say. And I’ve been around long enough to know a thing or two, let me tell ya.
There are plenty of brands out there that aren’t Ring, you know. Some are cheaper, some are fancier, some are just different. It’s all about what you need and what you can afford. Don’t let anyone tell ya that Ring is the only way to go, because it ain’t. There’s a whole world of cameras out there, just waiting for you to discover ’em.
And one last thing, don’t forget to read the instructions. I know, I know, nobody likes readin’ them little booklets, but they can save ya a lot of trouble. You don’t wanna mess up your camera just because you didn’t take a few minutes to read the directions. It does not take long just a quick read through it is all I am asking for.
So there you have it. A good, long yap about them Ring cameras and what else you can get. Now go on and find yourself a good camera, one that’ll keep you safe and sound. And don’t forget what I told ya, ya hear?
