Hi, I'm looking for a video surveillance system, but I am very confused by the different options available. I tried check out newegg to see what is there, but I don't even know what 90% of the specs mean. I am looking for a video surveillance system that matches this criteria: -Records video to a computer that is on 24/7 -Is able to record good quality video day and night * -Suitable for outdoor and indoor use -Small in size, not a huge clunker that is very visible -I need at least 2 cameras to be part of this system -Motion detection is a must have (so that I don't have hours of blank recording) -Total cost (including cameras, wires, etc but excluding the PC, which I already have) must be $200 or less* *By good quality, I don't necessarily mean HD. I just want to be able to recognize a person in the footage. I don't want it to be so blurry that the person in the recording is barely identifiable. *I will be buying from an online retailer like Newegg or amazon, since they are cheaper than smaller retailers/box stores. What would you recommend?

The foscam is too big and bulky. I need something more discreet than that. With a camera of that size it will be clearly visible. I want something smaller.

I am currently unemployed, so I won't have any money coming in for a long time. I don't need a camera for indoors, only outdoors. I will look into the Foscam and see what the deal is there.

Hi I am completely new to surveillance systems and I hope to learn a lot here.
