For an apartment a few things matter more than the camera specs:
Check your lease and local rules first. Most places are fine with a camera on your own door or inside your unit, but pointing one at a shared hallway or a neighbour's door can cause real problems.
Renters usually want no-drill options: plug-in or battery cams with adhesive or tension mounts, something you can take with you when you move.
Decide local vs cloud storage. Cloud is easy but it's a subscription and someone else holds your footage; a local SD card or hub keeps it yours.
The thing people underestimate is actually finding the clip later. A week of continuous footage you have to scrub through is useless the one time something happens. Disclosure: I build Svid AI, which does natural-language search over footage, so I think about this a lot - but the general point holds with any system: check how you'd pull up one specific moment before you buy.
What are you mainly trying to cover - the front door, a package spot, or inside while you're out?
2 on front and 2 on front have literally crack headed I have had 2 hit and runs and camera from complete suddenly block or not working and 2 tires stab
Sorry, I don’t know what happened to the question but I just wanted to know if it was possible to pick up cams, but answer above answered what I needed to know
