So I got a service reward from my job, basically I can choose something from a catalog.

I've narrowed it down to 3 things, 4 products, and I can't decide.

Some background:
I'm married with a 6 month old daughter, will be moving in the summer from the city (3 story, 2br/2bath, 2000 sq ft townhouse) to the suburbs (single story, 4br/3bath, 2500 sqft house).

So do I go with:

1. Television:
Sony 48" LED TV
https://www.amazon.com/Sony-KDL48W65.../dp/B01CUARK32

Right now I have 2 TV's (living room, bedroom) and plan to get 2 more for the new house (one for my study, one for the back yard)

2a/b. Security Cameras:
2a. Netgear Arlo 4 camera wireless system
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FTV5UEK...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

2b. Night Owl 8 camera wired system
https://www.amazon.com/Night-Owl-Sec...a+system&psc=1

I probably should have had one of these already living in a "up and coming area in the city" and definitely plan to get one once we are in the burbs. All my friends and family in the burbs have some kind of system, my brother has the Arlo and highly recommends it, another friend has wired 1080p system and suggests I should go with the Night Owl since it's expandable to 1080p cameras whereas the Arlo only supports 720p.


3. Robo Vacuum:
Neato Botvac
https://www.amazon.com/Neato-Botvac-...tvac+connected

Honestly this one feels the most frivolous, it trendy right now, and of dubious effectiveness. Its something I probably wouldn't spend my own money on......but that is kind of the point of a reward from your job right? Get something extra, something you weren't planning on spending your own money on for something you actually need (like the first 2 options, which no matter what I'll be getting those items).

Lemme know your thoughts.......
