Ring, Nest, and most big-box cameras charge a subscription just to view or save recordings. Stop paying rent on your own security footage.
Most cloud cameras go blind exactly when you need them most — during an outage or an intentional cut.
A doorbell from one brand, cameras from another, a lock from a third — none of them working together or alerting you as one system.
Door sensors, motion sensors, glass-break sensors — most guides just list everything instead of telling you what's actually worth buying.
That's what this guide does. No affiliate links. No "it depends." A proven security setup with local storage, built to work as one system.
The exact cameras, door/window sensors, and locks to buy — with specific model numbers, chosen for local-storage compatibility.
Cameras chosen to work without a monthly plan, plus where to mount each one and the recording settings to check before you rely on it.
A room-by-room and door-by-door plan for where sensors and cameras actually need to go for real coverage, not just more devices.
Configure motion and entry alerts that go straight to your phone — without a monthly monitoring fee.
One diagram showing exactly how your cameras, sensors, and locks — whatever brands you pick — tie into Home Assistant as a single system.
A 15-minute privacy pass for your cameras and doorbell: two-factor login, sharing settings, and how long footage is kept.
Bring every camera, sensor, and lock into one free, local Home Assistant dashboard — see everything, log everything, and automate across brands instead of juggling five separate apps.
Everything to do before you leave town, plus the automations that make the house look lived-in the whole time you're gone.
A ready-to-fill sheet for police, fire, trusted neighbors, and your alarm or electrician contacts — so everyone in the house has it, not just you.
No. If you can mount a camera and follow instructions, you can do this. The guide assumes zero technical background.
This guide is for DIY setup. If you'd rather have it professionally installed, book a free consultation instead.
No. Zero affiliate links. I recommend what actually works, not what pays the highest commission.

Instant digital download. After checkout you go straight to a download page for your PDF (every bonus is inside it). Your link works for 30 days, and you can email hello@smartautomator.com any time for a fresh one.
Home Assistant itself is free, open-source software. Most people run it on a small dedicated hub like Home Assistant Green (about $199) — that's optional, separate from this guide's $47 price, and not required to get started. The guide shows you exactly how to set it up once you have one.
Stop paying monthly to watch your own footage — and stop juggling five apps to do it. Get the exact setup, right now.
