Hey guys what's up?
I have been reading and researching home alarm systems and video surveillance on and off for many years and always got stuck with too many questions at some point. Well I don't want to wait until somebody breaks into my house and get it now done within the next month. But I will need some help and suggestions and that's why I decided to sign up on this board.
I attached a floor plan of my house to help with any suggestions on what to buy and where to install. I included all 5 planned cameras and the alarm sensors on doors and windows.
So far I'd like to get these things:
- 5 wireless 720p outdoor cameras (one at the front door; 4 on each corner of the house recording alongside the walls. This way I should have everything covered and each camera records the next camera just in case somebody screws with them.
I already own a Synergy NAS disk station with 10 TB incl. installed recoding app and would like to use this to record all 5 channels in a loop.
- 1 Central alarm system monitoring all 11 door switches and glass break sensors on all outside doors, garage door and all windows. This system needs to be connected to an inside / outside siren with flash and set off a call to the local police station when triggered and notify me via call on my cell phone. I also need to be able to monitor this system from my Android cell phone.
So what do you guys suggest? What cameras work very well, especially with a NAS from Synergy? What central alarm system matches my requirements? Any other ideas? Am I missing something?
