I need to record up to 8 IP cameras - however I do not want to put the DVR out side (this is for a sercurity gate in a large homeowners association) - this will be in the Texas summer heat - the cameras, switch amd router will be located outside at the gate on a seperate dsl (Uverse) circuit from the the internet connection that I have in my house - what DVR/ NVR is recommended to accomplish this Thanks MCL

Tom - thanks for the info on the mobotix - they look like a perfect fit for my site - I will have to use two of them as we have an entry and an exit gate Regards Michael

Thanks all for the info tomcctv - I have only purchased one foscam, as a trial so I am not stuck on that camera - I will have ethernet connectivity to each camera so do not really need to connect via wifi - if I go with IP MP cameras which one do you recommend - by only using 2 -3 cameras could I reduce by required bandwidth enough to not require a pc at the gates and only use a switch/ router and the uverse gateway. ssmith - thanks for the info on enclosures My thinking is that the switch/ router and Uverse gateway will not require an air conditioned enclosure (this could be a misconception) - however I quite sure that as soon as I put a PC/ DVR outside I will require AC. Thanks all for your help so far Michael

Thanks - yes the cameras are IP (Foscam F18905W) Regards Michael

Thanks - actually I have uverse internet at both locations download speed is 18 Mbps and upload is 5 Mbps can you recommend a NVR/ DVR Thanks MCL
