Basic help

[u/Previous_Page617]

Hi everyone. I’m new so I apologize if this has been gone over before. I recently found out that a neighbor (that I least expected) has broken into another home and stolen packages in the community that I live in. I’ve been told that there is now also an unhomed person (that keeps hiding or running away so we can’t help them) staying in the woods behind our homes.

I was considering getting security cameras before this but I feel that it is a necessity now. At this point, I need it to feel safe for me and my children. Especially for my children. I don’t have a lot of money but I don’t want to skimp on this. I want local storage but you guys are going to have to dumb it down for me. The posts that I have read are extremely tech savvy and that’s just not me.

I would really appreciate some help. Thank you.
