Thanx for the reply... I'm looking into getting some flood lights installed with motion on and try to wire an alarm to that. Also for the cameras how is lorex?
(Lorex LND2152B HD 1080p Outdoor Dome Power-Over-Ethernet Camera (White))
The lorex is about $100 dollars less than the dahua: (Dahua IPC-HDBW3300 3MP (3 Megapixel) Color IP Network Security Camera, HD 1080p (2048Hx1536V) Resolution, Day/Night mode)
if i go dahua nvr with lorex cameras I could save $400+ as opposed to dahua cameras... I would really appreciate the help ... I just want to buy some thing good and not have any regrets.
