We just installed a ring doorbell in addition to my camera system we already had. Went off this morning at 545 while I was at work. Cat on my front porch. But good to know I can check in on the house when im not around. Also give you a chance to monitor your place. Hasnt given any flase alarms like my cameras do. When I set them to motion detect moths and flying insects set them off like crazy. Would be a good option to keep an eye on your garage. After our break in last year I also addrd driveway alarms and better lockdown procedures for anything that can grow legs and get gone.
