Re: Basic Home Security Recording System Posted by Dano in Texas [Email] (#1125) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Dano in Texas) on Fri, 12 Jun 2015 06:31:02 In Reply to: Basic Home Security Recording System, Roger D [Profile/Gallery] , Thu, 11 Jun 2015 10:48:42 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I installed a Q-See system I purchased from Costco.com for about $550 delivered. System is a four channel NVR with 1TB hard-drive and four 1080P, IP, 2MB cameras. Cameras have night vision LEDs that are good out to 100ft claimed.
Night vision is surprisingly good but may be less useful depending on how far out to your street. If there are street lights that will help. I have cameras set to record motion and take a lower resolution pic every second and can store events for up to about 10days before being overwritten.
I can also have a live view on our smartphones and ipad in addition to the monitor in the house.
I wouldn't bother with a pan/tilt/zoom camera. With higher resolution cameras fixed to stare at an area, you can magnify an area of the picture to help identify a criminal.
