Hmm. Now I'm concerned. I'm not sure I will be able to decipher whether or not the system supports what I am looking for. Maybe I should go back to the drawing board? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks. I think I may be starting with a boxed system rather than trying to piece it together. I have spent hours on this site educating myself, and I am now intrigued by PoE NVR System. I like POE because my buddy does CAT 5 wiring so I can get this at no cost and I have tons of different SD cards, memory sticks, etc. Now my concern is this... Can this type of system still record audio? If so can it do it through the CAT 5 wiring or will I need to run another cable (RCA) to each camera where I want to record audio. One product I was looking at for reference was Zmodo ZP-KC1H04-P 4 Channel 4 IP 720P PoE NVR System (no HDD)

Is there anyone out there that can give me a few suggestions?

We want to install an audio & video system to work as a family on our communication. Think Supernanny, nanny911, big brother, etc. I need to monitor only a few rooms. I could probably get away a camera in the kitchen and one in the family room. Depending on cost, I could then jump to installing something in each bedroom but it's not a necessity. I am really at a loss on the best way to do this. I've thought of setting up a few go pros, a few camcorders, or is there a CCTV system with analog inputs. Thanks
