Here is a link for anyone who is a newly licensed Ham. New means within their first 6 months. It's an inexpensive 2m/70cm VHF/UHF handheld transceiver. I don't know about the quality of the radio and I make no money with this link.

G If you have the money and are security minded, you could consider unifi gear. I mentioned it in troopers chat several months ago to someone else's post, but you would need to buy a lot more than just cameras to get it setup. Main difference is all data is stored locally on an nvr but you can access it via built in vpns with their equipment so all feeds are accessible via Internet. They have a bunch of camera types and also have a doorbell. They have integrated AI for license plate reading, person tracking, and it's pretty robust.
The problem with most camera systems is the refresh rate is low and the focus at a distance is poor so you have to have a camera that has zoom on it. So you want at least a 4K camera with zoom. I have two cameras on my front porch my 4K monitoring camera and my doorbell camera. On my back porch I have two cameras monitoring people coming to the back doors.. if anyone comes to the back door they are already in shooting range because I have a stockade fence and it is labeled no trespassing. If people are stupid enough to walk past all the cameras and all the signs oh well they will get what they get. Not bad for living in an HOA.
