Hey everyone - 1st post here. I am trying to design a high definition cctv system for an apartment complex. After spending the past couple of weeks learning the ins and outs of what's out there, I'm still at a loss. The scenario is the main office needs 2 high def cameras - with audio - to monitor who walks in and to view the main counter. These need to be of good enough quality to edit and make videos. Outside there needs to be a ptz camera monitoring the parking lot and a bullet monitoring the mailboxes. These need to be of decent quality for evidence purposes. I want to set this guy up with a 8 ch dvr (or nvr) so there is a little room for expansion. I like the idea of hd sdi for compatability reasons but I can't seem to find cameras with audio. IP cameras are proving difficult because I can't seem to get a compatible system with a dvr put together (within budget - $2000.00). What would you guys recommend I look to for such a system?
