Budget: $2000-2500 *****including professional installation*****
Hi. Although I have been researching and learned a bit, I am not knowledgeable in this area. I just want a good CCTV system for my home. Basically, what I need is the best possible system I can afford.
I have been trying to find a complete system on my own, but every time I think I have one narrowed down, I will read a bad review on it, or a bad review of the brand....
I was going to buy a Swann, then read negative comments about the quality. I'm not against buying a Swann now, just a bit unsure.
Things that are important to me are:
1. DVR; 1080p quality video with no choppiness/lag, if possible. I'd like to be able to easily read (live) and record a license plate in my driveway.
2. 4 quality, weatherproof cameras capable of very good to excellent night vision (absolute min 50 feet). Note: I don't see any reason why I will need to expand beyond 4 cameras.
3. Ability to access live and recorded from the internet, phone, etc.
NOTE: I do not necessarily need to buy a packaged system.
Any help from somebody who knows more about this stuff than me would be greatly appreciated. I just need to be pointed in the right direction... a few links to some systems that fit my requirements would be awesome. There have been burglaries in the area and I'd like to get the system installed ASAP. I am in the Seattle, Washington area.
THANKS!
