IEverything I looked at was more expensive, and had things like the ability to talk to what ever you're seeing. Or if they were cheap they were indoors only.

I think the lighting systems may be different as well.

I have no interest in cameras if I have to run power to the location.

I have been thinking about picking up a couple of these because they are battery powered and they claim you can get two years out of the battery.

Just the convenience of long battery life and easy installation makes it pretty cool. of course, it's double my price point.

I researched the crap out of it and did my usual, nothing.

Skip buying an expensive cappuccino machine. Instead, pour milk into a mason jar, no more than half full (to leave room for foam). Screw on the lid and vigorously shake for 30 to 60 seconds. The milk will turn to froth. Remove the lid and microwave for 30 seconds so the foam rises. Pour into your favorite coffee

Pour ........that is work.
Screw on the lid...........again! That is work.
shake........work
vigorously .... Oh, my God.
Not to mention that every six or seven weeks I would have to think of washing the darned Mason jar and at least twice a year I would have to do it.

There are estimates that as many as half a million cars were damaged from the flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey along the Texas Gulf Coast...

Seems like a lot of unnecessary damage.

I wonder if there would be a market for "car bags". Either have a large balloon like waterproof bag you position under the front tires and adjust as you drive forward into it. Then seal off the back once inside. Or maybe a custom job which lays out flat and can be zipped up.

A $150 dollar bag vs. thousands of dollar of loss or dealing with insurance.

Not sure how well it would work. You'd have to pat out excess air, and perhaps anchor it to something. Not much use if it floats off.
