The bar is in Oakland, CA. I've been looking around and I'm thinking about purchasing these cameras: 6 of these inside: NUVICO CD-SD21N DAY/NIGHT SECURITY DOME CAMERA WITH 2.8-10mm VARIFOCAL LENS 2 of these outside: NUVICO CV-SD21N DAY/NIGHT VANDALPROOF WEATHERPROOF SECURITY DOME CAMERA WITH 2.8-10mm VARIFOCAL LENS or NUVICO CV-SD21N-L DAY/NIGHT VANDALPROOF WEATHERPROOF SECURITY DOME CAMERA WITH 36 IR LEDs As you can see, there are two types of outdoor cameras I'm looking at -- I don't neccessarily know which one is better. I imagine the one with 36 IR LEDs are better for night time vision? But the Lux seems the same... Any comments? (I'd post links -- but I don't have enough posts/haven't been active enough days) Also, are these considered to be quality cameras (The TVL seemed to be decent)? Is Nuvico a good brand? I don't mind spending more -- I'm looking for optimal quality for my budget and situation. Again, the main purpose of these cameras is to mainly catch employees stealing and just to have an overall view of the bar while not having to be there in person.

Also, I'm planning to get someone to install all the cameras & do the wiring. How much should I expect to pay for installation?

Yeah -- that's why I want to install this system ASAP. Currently, we are always there watching them to prevent theft, but is obviously tedious/tiring. I demoed the Geovision remote view -- it seemed decent. Does the card I plan to get (GV-2008) have decent remote viewing capabilities? Also, if I get IP cameras -- do I even need a DVR? Kind of confused about how they work... Answers to my first questions would also be greatly appreciated!!
