Hello everyone, I would like to setup security cameras around the house. I have a strong background with computers and most technology so I assume it shouldn't be too difficult. My budget is around $2000 and need 8 cameras (5 outdoor, 3 indoor) and I was looking into these cameras specifically: http://www.costco.ca/Swann%E2%84%A2-...100115809.html My main purpose is to monitor the house at night. I would like to setup the cameras in such a way that I can turn the television to a channel and see all the cameras and choose to zoom into specific ones. I would like ones that can be rotated as well. My dad will be viewing these cameras often as he is confined to a bed 24/7 so his main concern is to monitor the nurses that come in and out of our house. Our electrician in the family ran CAT 5 (ethernet) cable to each location where we want the camera. Is this all that is needed to supply power and everything to each camera? Are those cameras I chose a good choice for our house? Is this easy to set up? What steps must I follow in order to do this? I don't know much about these home security systems and would like to learn. Thanks!

Okay so can anyone help me pick one out for my house? I just need 8 HD cameras for my dad that I can change the television input to HDMI and view the cameras. If i can zoom in that would be good too.
