Thanks, you guys have been very helpful. I want to get your opinion one more time. I called QSee support about this already, but I think I trust you guys more. They provide 100ft cables, but some of my runs are approx 160ft from the DVR. The power I can run locally. Will that extra 60ft have a big impact on the signal? This is the system I'm considering after looking them all over and reading reviews. http://www.amazon.com/Q-See-QT5680-8E4-1-Security-Surveillance-High-Resolution/dp/B00DWFFC94/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1393426530&sr=8-3&keywords=qsee+16+channel+8+camera

@shockwave199 - That's the one i was looking at. @boogieman - It's primary function will be watching employees, there has been some theft of property and hours. There are less than 20 employees, so identifying them shouldn't be a big issue. She wants 8 inside and 2 outside. I can get the needed coverage inside with 7, but still need 2 outside. Do you have any thoughts on the one shockwave posted?

Out of curiousity, what do you guys think of Q-See setups. They seem to offer quite a bit for the money.

Thanks guys. I'm probably going to go with one of the setups from Costco or Sam's if I can find one I can add cams to. I understand what a low end system costs, but to someone who's never purchased CCTV equipment, the cost would probably make her jaw drop. It's a small business and I want to do my best to avoid the word "thousand" when I give her a quote. I appreciate your input.

Hey guys, I need help, I haven't done a CCTV install in over a decade and my aunt wants me to install a 8-10 camera system at her business. I'm not sure what the budget will be, she asked me for a quote. I'm looking for the most reliable system for what I assume will not be a large budget. Most of what I used to install was Bosch and Dedicated Micros equipment, but that is probably going to be out of budget. I'm not familiar with many other brands. What I'm looking for is domes or minidomes and IR bullet cameras and a DVR. Any advice or info you could provide me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike
