I am looking to setup a 4 to 6 camera system on my home and I need some help with picking the right components. 1. I would like to record to my external hard drive on my computer but not a must 2. Color cameras with night vision. The cameras will be mounted underneath the eave on my second story home. So I need cameras that will be clear at least up to 100ft. 3. I would like to access the video footage from the internet. 4. All cameras will be outdoors so I need cameras that are not sensitive to weather. 5. Not worried about installing vandal proof cameras. I really have no idea about where to start so I am looking for some guidance about what cameras to use and other components that I should consider when setting up a proper system. I have been looking at REVO systems because of their ease of installation but I am sure that this is the best way to go.

How do these components look? What am I missing? Qvis Apollo HD 16 Channel VideoSecu 4 X 100 Feet Video Power CCTV Security Camera Cables w... was removed from Shopping Cart.

I would like to keep the system below $1,500 Thanks for the link. Looks like you have a lot of good information that I can review. What are the big advantage of using POE vs using a power wire? I would like to piece together a system that is easy to install, use and produces good quality images in day and night. There are so many different choices that I am completely lost about what to buy. I don't really want to buy an off the shelf system becuase I believe that I can get more for my money by piecing together a proper system. Thanks for any advice you can give. The home that I am trying to secure is 3200 sq/ft. About 1600 on the lower level and 1600 on the upper level. My home is all brick so I imagine that they camers will have to be mounted under the eave. I have a front door, back door and detached garage that I would like to keep an eye on.
