I hope I'm posting this in the right place and if I am great, if not if someone could post it where it needs to be I thank you. I'm new to this CCTV stuff and I need some help fast, as this is the only week I can get either one of the two systems I'm thinking about. I hope with this boards help I will pick the right one.
First the reason why I need a CCTV system. I live out in no mans land as my driveway is about 1/4 mile long. There is nothing around me but wildlife and 4 cats and 2 horses (a barn) and the house. I would like to know what my horses are doing while out in the pasture and while inside the barn. And of course who is coming up my driveway.
I have looked at these two systems: One from home depot called
Defender8 CH 500 GB Hard Drive Surveillance System with ( 600 TVL Cameras Model #21025

Another one from our military store called: Lorex 8 Channel Security DVR with 8 Super Resolution Security Cameras

Because of the limit of funds, which system would be better from watching something at night (inside the barn) and during the day out in my pasture (Camera to object is about 400').
