We maintain two homes and both locations are monitored by the Blink security system through a single phone app. Here I'm expanding the larger of the two systems by adding two more cameras for a total of 8 monitoring points. Our other home uses a four camera system.

The system(s) are self contained in that there is no 3rd party monitoring or notification. When a camera picks up movement it notifies us of the activity through the app and we either take action or we don't.
