Have a look at the Ring doorbell people. Their doorbells and remote cameras are all Wi-Fi connected with the ability to sound sirens and alert you wherever you are in the world. They have recently added interior motion detectors and cameras. You pay a fee to be able to have the devices download clips to the internet so you can either be alerted live or review instances later. The subscription I have for two devices is about £80 a year if I recall.

Thank you, Freddy - that is probably more sophisticated than we need. Sean, it wouldn't surprise me - if the money it has cost us over the years is anything to go by. Their latest quote for an 'upgrade'in the sum of £1,700 + is quite laughable - without any description of what the upgrade consist of...

We have the Ring system too. It really isn't at all sophisticated unless you're completely non-computer or tech illiterate. If you can set up an email account you can easily work this system. It has already caught one attempted burglary on camera. Video sent to the police.
