Hi Gents, Our HOA has problems with kids jumping off roof into pool at night. Big security vendor is proposing an analog 8 cam 700tvi system at $3000 plus $100/mo monitoring. They tell us new analog is better than digital. I call BS. I would like to put together a standalone 720p digital system with good night vision cams. I would so much appreciate all of your views and advice. We plan on installing a cable modem to allow remote smartphone viewing. Cheers

Appreciate your continued advise Boogie. Thx. for the PM.

Thanks Boogie, I'm a bit apprehensive re Q-See brand. 5 years ago we got a Clover analog system ( top of line at the time at costco) and it was a POS. Clunky interface and usb1.0 output. Explains why Clover is out of business now. Any suggestions re a semi pro system. I'm tech savvy enough to get a system going vs. very simple consumer grade unit. I was leaning toward a 720p as i bit higher frame rate vs. 1020p and less frames per sec. Just need to ID the hooligans jumping into the pool ( Glad we didn't have this tech when I was a kid or I would have still be on restriction from my parents. !!)
