Thanks for the response. You're correct, the burglaries have involved breaking in through the backside of the target house, usually through a dog door or other easy opening. Unfortunately, I also live very near a high school and we get lots of foot traffic after school. I suppose the front-of-the-house deterrence is only part of the solution, but I can't really afford a full 8 camera system now, so I was hoping to piece it together. In the long run, I kinda wanted 3-6 cameras out front a few inside as well.
Any suggestions on an 8ch system other than Q-see? Or, when is the Q-see 8ch expected to come out?
Thanks again
