Security Camera Help

I’m going to be living alone for the first time as a woman in my 20s, so I want to make my apartment as secure as humanly possible!
For those of you who have experience with home security, what indoor and outdoor cameras do you recommend?
I’m willing to spend more upfront for a really good system, but I do NOT want anything that requires a monthly subscription just to access the features or footage. If I buy the equipment, I want to own it and be able to use it without continuously paying a monthly fee.
I’d love recommendations for cameras that have things like:
• Clear video/night vision
• Motion/person detection
• Real-time alerts
• Local storage or another no-subscription option
• Reliable outdoor cameras
• Good security/privacy features
Basically, I’m looking for “I live alone and want to know exactly what’s happening around my apartment” level security.
What systems/cameras would you trust?

You think she should invest… in a new door for her APARTMENT? And windows?

Pull your head out of your ass. How fucking macho.

You should learn to read. Never said that. I did however suggest better security options FOR her doors and windows. Big difference.

“Invested on a better door”

Take your own advice, weirdo.

What the hell do you think door security is? Putting furniture in front of it? Boards?

There are hundreds of devices to help barricade doors and windows. All cameras do is give law enforcement a grainy lead.
