Hello Everyone, Moved from a very secured community with gated security and very low crime rate to a new house in a residential neighborhood, the area is very nice and the crime rate is not high but there is a middle school a few yards away and there is a lot of activity around with teenagers walking around in the afternoons and young people driving their fast cars at night. The wife has been driving me crazy about the security of the house; the house has more French doors that I care for and it’s kind on the open. I have been thinking about purchasing an Alarm system and a CCTV surveillance system. I have a background in engineering, even do I haven’t worked on the field in many years technical learning is very easy to me.. I will research this website and learning as much as possible before I make my decision.. I will have a budget of approx. 1,000.00 for the Surveillance system and a few hundred for the Alarm system. All in all I will like to keep everything under 2k So the question to everyone is if you have a Budget of 1,000.00 what Surveillance system will you buy. I think I will need a system with the capability to handle 8 to 12 cameras, Internet connectivity, DVR and wired... Any help is welcome and appreciated... Thanks Joe

Thank you so much for taking the time.. I will follow your advice and post my finding on the forum.. You are a top contributor... Regards Joe
