Hi Everyone, I'm looking for a 2 camera system right now, with the ability to add 2 more in the future. Based on reviews here I assembled this package on Amazon but wanted to know two things: a) Is this everything I need? Which network cables do I need? My house is currently setup on Cat5 b) What comparable setup should I also consider. 1) Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I Outdoor HD 3MP IP Bullet 1) Hikvision DS-2CD2632F-I Hi Def 3 MP Outdoor Bullet IP Vari-Focal 1) Dahua ION Series ESDV-NVRION-8 8 Channel 1080p Hi Def Mini NVR 1) WD Red 3 TB NAS Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, SATA III, 64 MB Cache 1) TP-LINK TL-SF1008P 10/100Mbps 8-Port PoE Switch, 4 POE ports This puts me in at $748 Your responses are appreciated. The 2032 camera will go near my front door. The 2632 will go on the side of my house pointed towards the street.

The NVR is easy to work with, it automatically detected the Cameras without hesitation and recording and playback is easy to understand. I haven't played with motion based recording but at this point I'm not sure if I will. Once I get a switch I'll hook it up for remote viewing and report if it's easy (at least for a novice).

A thought came to me today, if a burglar came to my house and they stole my NVR...I'd be in a mess. Which makes me think, maybe I should put my NVR in my attic and run cables down to my desk. Good idea? The only issue I see is that it is hotter up there. I'm not sure how often I'd have to actually have fast access to the NVR.

I ended up buying the Hikvision - DS-7608NI-SE/8P NVR along with that 3TB hard drive. Hopefully everything comes in by Saturday and I can begin to install.

Where can I find one that is compatible with this camera?

That was the HD that amazon said people buy with that nvr. Which HD should i buy?
