Wow, this is the site I have been looking for.
I have been dabbling in a CCTV system at my summer property for the last few years now learning as I go. Started out with a pc i built for a 4 channel dvr card and Two QSee all weather cameras. Now up to 14 cameras, an 8 channel dvr, another pc with 8 channel card, using CAT5/baluns, sensors for trigger recording, and awaiting for my new ptz's
Its been fun learning as I go but now its time to start laying out the system once and for all and start burying coduit.
Looking forward to getting some advice on the correct cameras to use for which application.
And, How to keep the dam spiders off my ir cameras! lol
