Surveillance Systems, need help!!!
I need around 6 cameras or so. Ill be installing it myself.
I just returned from deployment and I need to install a home surveillance system around my house. Ive been doing a lot of research, but there are so many different brands and options, Im lost. What do you guys recommend and why? Looking for clarity, night vision, reliability and under 1k.

I bought a 16 camera package from lorex on black black Friday of last year. Was 1,200.00 for 16 2k cameras and DVR. The picture is incredible during the day and at night. My brother in law works for a security company (Level 3 tech) and is very impressed with the cameras. Dont waste your time at Sams, costco, etc.
I highly recommend Lorex. https://www.lorextechnology.com/hd-s...meras/N-yk46px Edit: Bought something similar to this - https://www.lorextechnology.com/hd-i...0804-1612W-1-p but it was MSRP 3,000.00 at the time. Cameras are progressing incredibly fast. Most camera companies are skipping 2k and going straight to 4k.

I use the Dlink camera and DVR system. Not sure what the limit is on how many cameras you can have, I think you can have at least 8. It's possible to view the live feed as well as recorded footage via a smartphone app. Easy to install yourself and uses an ordinary USB hard drive as the DVR, a 1 TB drive can hold maybe a month of footage recorded continuously (not motion activated) and will loop over the oldest footage once it's full. The video can be exported to a Windows Media player file if needed in small clips. Also you can pan the cameras remotely from your smartphone.

If you want to see what good night vision performance looks like, go to this website: www.networkcameracritic.com . While the cameras reviewed are some what old now, the reviewer (RIP) posted both still frame pictures and video of the night vision performance of the cameras he reviewed. His review of the Hikvision cameras is what swayed me to having these cameras installed in my home. |

Honestly. I'm very happy with the cameras. I didnt read into that bundle deeply but it looks good to me. I would opt for a longer warranty... they warrant their products no questions asked if its not working properly. If you can wait until November you can probably pick up a set of 4k's for the same price on Blackfriday. Go for it dude!!
