Water tank monitoring options

New to this off grid thing. So Likely being paranoid but i have 2 x 5000l (1300g) tanks what do people use to monitor them?

Old school float set up with a external gauge or are people having luck with electronic sensors.

Also im considering putting a 100-200G tank on my shed and having that on a float switch (or sump pump) to pump into my main tanks. Just mainly for more water collection.

Just for solar powered security cameras and so i can be at the dam and still have coverage

People any idea how to rekey this lock. Work must gave 500 of them as we have just upgraded to a different key/system.

Then is as simple as swapping the tumbler/pins lets say from 12345 to 54321 (saves me buying anything) then requeating a few keys to be cut.

Im likely going to use ~10 locks

Not sure if this belongs here, however bought a new place renting out current place to mate for 2 years so he can sell current place and start a build on his empty block.

He has requested i keep the cameras there (eufy flood cam and a 2c pack)

So may as well use it as an excuse to look at what to buy and change brands if needed.

Happy with the eufy experience and cameras.

Likely will be a 4 pack of base cameras (will likely want solar panel) then as needed grab one or 2 extra cameras if its for a shed or similar.

Due to out buildings i cant run cat5e or similar everywhere.

Ill likely try to find a deal though, cause im cheap and well new home purchase makes my accounts look sad.

im leaning towards powmr or mpp solar.

deye/victron seem over priced.
