Suggestion for cheap cam?

[CableCraig]

I’m using a Camect system (so far so good) and have some high end “Loryta” bullet cams in a few places but I want something cheap to throw in some places I just want motion detection, like near the package drop off box at the end of my driveway. Night vision would be great but it’s not absolutely necessary. I just want to see when a package goes in the box and get an alert.

What do you guys like that’s a good bang for the buck? I can wire it PoE no problem.

If you just want motion detection and alert get the ring mailbox sensor. Ring Mailbox Sensor | Alarm Sensors & Alerts

Great idea. But, I’d like to see what’s going on more that simply notification. For instance, was it a delivery driver or someone stealing a package?

Im getting decent motion detection on both of these. have 3 of the Amcrest. 1 of the loryta. Loryta is outside catching cars coming into lot and walking traffic.

36mm version of the same Amcrest here. Better I think for most purposes.

Code W44CKUSN takes $15 off of the price of the 3.6mm or $5 off the 2.8mm so $45+tax for either.

Not great cams but they're OK cams for not much money.
