Great description, so I will get some baluns to interface the cat5 coming from the cameras to the bnc connector on the dvr. I will take the advise of you guys and plan on the existing camera's being analog. Hopefully they still work. One more question, please indulge me.
What kind of camera can i purchase that will allow me to see a clear picture of someone from 100 ft away. We want to see who is at the gate but dont want to bury cat5, and the distance is too far for wireless, one suggestion was to put a high res camera at the top of the house pointed at the gate would be able to see who is at the gate. The equipment suggested is:
a Samsung SCC-B2331 High Resolution Security Camera w/ 5-100mm Auto-Iris Varifocal Lens, and a weatherproof Sony Effio IR Camera.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
