Hello, This is my first time posting here so I hope I am in the right place. I am looking for a pretty basic CCTV setup, but I've had an incredibly hard time finding what we are looking for. So I was hoping someone here could lead me in the right direction. We run a retail operation. We have a manager's office right next to the registers. What we need is 2 cameras right outside of the office, and a monitor inside the office (or a 7 inch tablet would be even better). It doesn't have to be wireless since it is literally 6 feet of cord we would need to run, but we would accept a wireless system as long as it doesn't interfere with our current wireless network. We also don't need to record so a DVR system would be overkill. We just need to be able to monitor what is going on in real-time. This seems like a really basic setup, and when it was explained to me what was needed, I thought it would be a piece of cake. But after scouring the internet, I'm having a hard time finding a very BASIC system. I know we can go the route of wifi cameras, an android tablet, and an app, but we would like to find an all-in-one system that just works solidly 100% of the time. Can anyone recommend something to me? Thank you.

Thanks for all your suggestions! I hadn't thought of a 2-way mirror. Unfortunately I talked to the manager and he isn't really feeling that. I had looked at the Saance and Lorex systems on Amazon and thought they were a little too complicated for what I need. The price is right, though, so maybe that is what we'll end up with. The cameras do look kinda huge. I'd love to have something a little more discrete and less big brother. It is what it is, though. I will look into the analog cameras and quad splitter and frame grabber. I have never heard of that terminology so perhaps Googling them will open up some new avenues for equipment we can use. Thanks again.

High resolution is not that important. It could even be in grayscale if we had to. Basically one camera will be for monitoring the lines at the registers to know if we need to call in reinforcements, and the other camera will be to monitor who is knocking at the door of the office. (We count cash in the office so we have to keep the doors closed.)
