Yes, it is a four channel system. I need to add the micraphone for audio as well. I think I may simple mount two cameras aiming in a crossfire type left to right and right to left configuration with the 3.6mm lense 74 of view. I have the typical garage with the peak and I'll mount them under the eves but at the outer edge for view up high and not in the center against the wall like before. Yes it has internet viewing capabilities. I mainly need something to record our loud mouth neighbor and or any phisical disruptive harrasment. I have also found the cctv helps in other issues like catching one guy who grafiitted the mail boxes one day. Police really like cctv cameras, one said it makes their jobs easier in removing any doubt with the neighbor. So maybe the 3.6 lense will work out. I wanted something to capture our entire driveway and any cars parked there but it only seemed to cover one because I think the lense wasn't far enough away or high enough on the garage, but it was as high as I could possibly mount it. This is why I was thinking of a wider 2.8 or 2.1 lense. you can google Costco cctv item 441827 and you'll see the system or link to it.

scorpion, thank you for the advise. Maybe the included cameras with 3.6 lense will work out, I guess I'll have to wait and see. My delima is, my wife and me have a neighbor whos 30 year old son is a wanna be street thug. We live in a good neighborhood but have lots of foot trafic to and from the mall as well. Back to the neighbor, he has problems with his anger management and his mouth runs a lot with insults to us and others. We also have a court order out ordering him to stop harrassing us. So, the cameras which are really for our proof (to the court/police) that he is not living by the order from the judge. The cameras also serve as a deturrent to him most of the times. My neighbor also has a kit-in-the-box set up and it works great. My last one worked out fine except it was a boxy monitor with the hard drive that ran warm, it was just taking up important space, unlike the system I will be getting this week. So basically it is designed just for one person, my dumb neighbor who I usually point out to the police that here I am and there he is in the monitor. I was just thinking maybe the 2.8 or 2.1 wide view lense would cover more ground to record. Maybe sometime soon I can post a picture of the area(s) i need covered and get your opinion. Maybe the 3.6 lense will be fine at an angle towards the areas of interest. ...Thank you!

Hello. I am about to start my second cctv system for my residence and I need some advise. My last cctv security system I purchased almost four years ago, and it set me back $1150 and I wasn't to happy with it because of a bulky monitor and seemed to run warm. The new system is four channel by Q See from Costco here in California. I have heard that tecnology has come a long way since my first purchase. Costco took my old system back and refunded me every penny which made me jump for joy. Here is my question(s) I need advise on where I may purchase a cctv camera, a bullet or dome with a very wide field of view. I like the looks of a slim bullet camera. I need one with a 2.1 or 2.8 lens. I will be mounting it outside (weatherproof, rain here in central calif.) under the overhang of my garage to view my driveway, street and sidewalk for at least four or five houses away easily in the daytime. I would like night vision capabilitie as well for the driveway and street curb. The four cameras that come with this system are fine for outside but are 3.6mm with 74 field of view and the other two are 6mm with 42 field of view. Any advide or pointers where I may get something like I discribed would be very much appreciated. Audio would be a plus but I am on a budget.I am willing to spend $200 tops. My cctv system is a q see #441827 Thank you Doug aka JARHEAD
