thanks for the input any opinion on which of the brands you mentioned has the best ipad app for searching past video? Do any of them provide thumbnail search?

Does this exist? I've been searching for a decent camera system that my residential customer can monitor with their iPad and Mac computer. It's a simple system - probably 3 outdoor cameras with an HD-CVI DVR or NVR. I was hoping to find something like DropCam or Logitech's intuitive interfaces. These are great in my opinion for residential use, but as we know Dropcam doesn't make an outdoor cam and Logitech has been discontinued. The cameras have to be able to record audio as well. I might be able to go as high as 2K on the budget. Any gems out there that have escaped the "Chinese software writing syndrome"? Thanks in advance!

Hey, I'm an A/V guy who's learning surveillance better - primarily for residential. Thanks for the all info in advance. Much appreciated.
