LOL… I asked “BIG” dog, not a pocket dog.
Come on, fake Reddit videos… is that the best you could come up with?
Eufy cameras that send notifications to my phone and a big dog with a loud bark. Yeah, he’s a Lab and will probably lick the intruder to death. But his bark will scare the crap out of you.

I agree, I just recently installed a bunch of reolink POE cameras around my house, which I can monitor through an app, but also have them recording 24/7 to an NVR. And everything is behind my firefall which requires me to log into my personal VPN for the app to work.
As far as monitoring services, I suspect (call me paranoid) that systems can be monitored by either manufacturer or service provider. Case in point, the Guthree case. The company was able to isolate the archived video even though she didn’t have a subscription. With the conveniences of modern electronics, digital and rf systems, I agree that it is more difficult all the time to keep Big Brother in check. Sometimes, steel and lead give more peace of mind than a bunch of ones and zeros flying through the air doing who knows what.
This is the way. I have a similar system, and I trained my last LAB in Level I Personal Protection. When he was put into defensive mode, you thought he was going to rip your throat out. But if he ever actually made contact with you, he’d lick you to death.. LOL.. But his bark and growl was scary as hell…
An on-site DVR/NVR is the best option. If you don’t hold the video, you don’t own it. Cloud storage is a joke.
She had Google Nest cameras… a company notorious for invasion of privacy issues.
i’m thinkin i’m gonna set up simplisafe. i’ll go without monitoring at first, then probably add it. my newest problem is that i started to set up my lorex cameras…..but can’t get the fkn phone app to connect to it. i can view the single camera i have hooked up from this computer, so i know it’s networked…but the lorex cloud app sucks wet hairy moose balls.
