I have problems with neighbors and need to catch on camera. I need cameras to be hidden/unnoticeable. I researched CCTV systems and had more questions than answers. They have been dumping oil under tree 15’ behind garage and theft, etc. The police can’t do anything because I don’t have any proof. I need to cover cover outside of house, behind detached garage 35’ away and shed 11’ away parallel to garage. The house is T shaped. I was considering 8 camera system. There is a large tree 5’ to side of garage and 3’ to the front so there are a lot of large roots close to the surface. It might be possible to get direct burial cat 5 cable to the garage just buried beneath the surface. The cameras on the house can be wired and I prefer it be a wired system. I read that wireless camera systems aren’t that good. I am considering an 8 camera POE NVR or a hybrid/wireless system and I can add the cameras of my choice as needed. There is electric to the garage and shed. Any help is appreciated.

Yeah, I installed a cheap 8 channel wired system I purchased from NewEgg, $230, where I used to live. That was about ten years ago. The system worked OK. The cameras weren't good at all at night. I ended up purchasing $50 separate boards and lenses but I don't remember where I got them. I think it was from http://www.SecurityCamera200.com I purchased cheap $5 plastic domes from Ebay to put them in. They allowed alot of light and worked good at night time when the outside lights where on. They stayed with the house when it got sold along with all the paperwork for them. Now I have to relearn everything I learned 10 yrs ago, and then some because I have to figure out the wireless part to the garage and shed. SecurityCamera2000 inventory has been out for the last 6 months. Those cameras you show look small enough I could probably hide in the tree or a bird house. They would never see them. I could use camo paint to hide them also.

Hi Ipman, Thanks for responding. No I haven't done anything with it yet. I started looking into it more then I got side tracked with various issues and some health issues.
