As someone who has looked at hours of video in criminal investigations, please - please - please get the best bang for your buck, whichever plan you use. So many times we get video that is useless because of cheap cameras or poor installation (usually pointing camera to wrong area) that it makes us wonder why they even had them!
If you can afford a local alarm company to monitor an alarm while having a camera, your chances of loss from burglary are reduced. Criminals will avoid a business that has an alarm system, and cameras will give you a piece of mind knowing the place is monitored. Most alarm systems can feed video to your phone or tablet. Motion sensors inside a large building sure do help us when we make entry. I have deployed K9 to a specific building or area on numerous occasions due to knowledge of motion from monitoring company.
