  1. hey all, I been looking into whole systems because I found that trying to piece a system together myself is more work then expected. 16 Camera Lorex security camera system: https://www.lorextechnology.com/Wired-security-dvr-system/Complete-16-Camera-Varifocal-Security-System-with-Night-Vision/prod340106.p 16 camera GW Security camera system: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VF6M646/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3P6IPPGM0ZR39&coliid=I3SPBGLQ1OC3ZQ&psc=1 Which brand do you think is best? Which of these two would you pick? I'm looking for good Hard drive space, constant recording, and 16 camera. I prefer that half of the cameras are remotely controllable moving dome cameras with pan/tilt. I also like to have remote access from cell phone or PC from remote or on sight locations. I'm not sure but I think the GW system has better image quality and space? Do you think that is worth the money at 2300 dollars? (As far as what you get for the price) Is there anywhere where I can get the same or better for the same or lower price? I am open to other options. I want something good that will last, I will be installing it myself. Everything is outdoor, except the DVR, that goes indoors. EDIT: What do you think of this system from USG? http://www.amazon.com/USG-HD-TVI-Camera-1080P-CCTV/dp/B00U7AWOFW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430407324&sr=8-1&keywords=16+1920x1080+HDTVI I am looking for input on what you think has the best quality for around 2K dollars, hopefully that price or less. Plus I want something I can also check out on my phone.

    Designing a home camera system, parts suggestions?

    I wouldn't mind spending a little extra for good quality, but I will need 16 cameras simply because of the area needed to be recorded. This camera: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA46G1VX3882&cm_re=720p%2bPOE%2bcamera-_-2P0-000J-00084-_-Product I like this camera, its an okay price, does descent video. But I don't know if it can record to a folder in a NAS drive at all. If it can, I would consider it. Only problem is, I'll be spending over 2500 dollars in cameras alone at this price. The NAS: http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/network-storage/business/business-storage-4-bay-nas/ I was planning on buying this NAS drive and then doing a raid 5 with four 6tb seagate disk drives. for 12gb of storage and mirror raid for redundancy. Trying to get away with saving to NAS and not having to buy a dedicated PC just for cameras.
  3. Hey all, I am making a home camera system to survey and record. My plan: 16 cameras with POE, NAS support, at least 50 ft night vision, 1080p and good resolution/screen size. 1 GB router with enough ports. 1 NAS with good capacity. 1 UPS with good run time. Basically, I am having trouble finding good cameras at a good price, Lorex has some nice cameras but they are 200 dollars a piece. As far as remote watching with my phone, I can VPN to my router and view the cameras as media video streaming servers, so thats easy. Basically, I know what I want to do, I'm just having problems finding good hardware that can support my needs. Most of what I find is either cheap junk or overpriced good stuff. EDIT: I forgot to add, I would like to have actual motion sensors trigger recording if possible. Like those flood light motion sensors, something like that, but for the camera, no flood lights.
