There is loads of good info on this forum, but also conflicting info from different opinions, so I thought I would just ask straight away. We live in Alaska and have many dogs. We want to be able to watch each dog yard and also be able to see the wildlife that comes and goes from the property to assess what they might be barking at. The house and kennel building have 250ft or so of conduit running between them. We were looking at one of the Costco systems like this: http://www.costco.com/Lorex-16-Channel-Analog-DVR-with-2TB-HDD%2c-12-1080p-Cameras-and-130'-Night-Vision.product.100220740.html Our budget is in the $1K range. How we could have cameras on both buildings is the question. Or at least have the dvr in the kennel bldg and have a monitor in the main house for the system. The conduit running between the buildings is a small conduit. Any advice you might offer will be appreciated thusly.

I'm finally getting around to actually ordering this system. I appreciate all of the advice given. I had asked about sound and someone suggested I get an outdoor specific microphone. Also, it looks like Costco only sells the 8 channel DVR for this system and not a 16 channel. Is there a 16 channel that will accept microphones that you guys recommend? This is system in reference: http://www.costco.com/Lorex-8-Channel-IP-NVR-with-2TB-HDD%2c-8-1080p-Cameras-and-130'-Night-Vision.product.100217003.html#

Hey Guys, Came here with advice a while back and got directed towards this setup: http://www.costco.com/Lorex-8-Channel-IP-NVR-with-2TB-HDD%2c-8-1080p-Cameras-and-130'-Night-Vision.product.100217003.html# If I wanted to have 2 cameras that were outdoor able and could have sound, do some exist that could be added to this system? Should I pick an entirely different system? I appreciate any advice you are interested in giving!

Thank you for this advice.

So something like this would be a better choice? http://www.costco.com/Lorex-8-Channel-IP-NVR-with-2TB-HDD%2c-8-1080p-Cameras-and-130'-Night-Vision.product.100217003.html#

Thanks for all of the info, guys!
