Hey everyone! 
I’m new to the SmartThings ecosystem and I’m currently in the process of setting up my smart home and security system. I’ve got a few gadgets already, like the Ring Doorbell Pro, Nest Thermostat, and some Kwikset smart locks. But I’m looking to expand, especially with a camera system. 
I’ve been researching 8CH NVR systems with built-in HDDs and cameras. My budget is around $600, so I’m trying to find a balance between quality and affordability. I’m torn between dome cameras and bullet cameras—any recommendations on which would be better for outdoor use? 
Also, I’d love to have some indoor cameras with a mic and speaker for two-way communication. Any brands or models that have worked well for you? 
I’m also considering how to integrate everything into my existing setup. I use both the SmartThings and ActionTiles apps on my iPhone and a couple of Amazon Fire tablets. I’d love to hear if anyone has tips on organizing everything or if there are any must-have add-ons I should consider. 
If anyone has experience with setting up a camera system from scratch, I’d be super grateful for any advice or personal insights! Thanks in advance for your help!
