NOTE: There is a front entry camera, that views the driveway and garage. This only records video and high decibel levels when there is movement. This serves as a security camera to monitor the entrance and verify the number of guests for check-in. If you have more than the maximum # of guests, we will ask the additional persons to exit the premises. There is a second camera in the back exterior entrance that has a view outside of the lower porch out to the lake. This also records video when motion is detected for 20 seconds. The third exterior camera is more for seeing wildlife, which is on a tree near the salt-lick we have out for deer and other animals. It captures the hillside area, where the drain field is. This only captures images at the time of movement. All devices are on the exterior of the property.
