Hello, I am new here. I want to installed a security systems at home. I am thinking to do 8 external cameras with IP system. No wireless. I would like to be able to see details like a license plate as far as 30 - 50 feet. My budget is $700. Any recommendations on brands or other things that I need to take into consideration before I made the purchase? Thank you!

Am I asking the wrong questions in this forum? 60 views to the post and nothing? Is this the wrong place to ask these questions?

Thank you for the information. Now I am thinking that maybe a should buy a 8 channel NVR and just 4 cameras for now and the add more later on. I am looking at the Elite Series 8 Channel 4K NVR with 8 POE for NVR and 3MP IP Network Indoor/Outdoor IR Bullet Security Camera for the cameras. Is that a good selection? Is the 4K NVR way more than what I need?

Thank you for the reply. I only need/want +-100 feet of distance. I just think that is silly that with some systems you cannot read a license plate or details like that. Any recommendations of brands? Thank you.

Hello, I am new on this and the forum. I want to install 8 outdoor security cameras and DVR at my house. Since I am new at this, I was looking for reviews at Lorex, Night Owl, Swann but discovered they are lower ended systems so it might not be what I actually want. My budget is in the $600s maybe low $700s. I found one company called GW Security, they have a system around my budget with the following specs: "High Definition 8 Channel DVR with ( 1.3MP 960P HD 1600TVL 3.6mm Wide Angle Lens Cameras Support mobile surveillance by phones with Andriod, Balckberry, WinCE, Symbian, and iPhone ,HDMI & VGA Support IE browser to remote view and HD 1600TVL high resolution Uncompressed latency-free analog transmission ensures you see things in realtime, as they happen, without loss or delay. HDCVI enjoys industry leading point-to-point transmissiong distance of 1,640ft (500m) from camera to DVR Pre-installed 2TB Hard Drive with 1 Year Warranty and Free Life Time Tech Support From U.S.A" Now I know that good ones are in the thousands but could you tell me if this is a decent system? or any other brands that you might suggest?
