Thanks for your input Jason. I do have power at each of the buildings so powering the cameras locally will be an option. There is some light near where I would like to put the cameras (streetlights so they are always on) so lighting shouldn't be an issue. As far as total area, we are talking about a pretty big chunk of property. The furthest distance from the house where I would like to keep the DVR is about 100 yds +/-. DVR-wise, I was wondering if I could use a desktop computer instead of buying a DVR. I have a PC with a 1 tb hard drive that could be used solely for this purpose. Is that a feasible option or am I going to have to go with a DVR?

Under $700 for everything would be nice. Wiring the cameras would be impossible for the most part. I need to put them on a couple different buildings so wiring them would require a lot of trenching.

Hi all, I am looking to purchase a 4 camera system for my family farm and I was hoping that I might get some advice from people in the know here. Here are some of the features I'd like and some of the factors that need to be considered. Night video Wireless cameras outdoor capable Good range (both of the video and the wireless capability) Of course, I would like to spend a reasonable amount of money, but I am willing to pay for quality in order to get a system that does what it should. If it is cheaper, I have a computer with a tb hd and monitor that could function as the base for the cameras. The computer is older so it may need a wireless card update. Thanks for anyone's input. I am a noob when it comes to security cameras so I really appreciate any help that you can throw me!
