Need help with a new installation equipment

[dogpatch 0]

Hello all, I need some help with a residential install.

 

Home: 2000 sqft, 2 levels, with attached 2 car garage

 

Detached garage: 600 sqft located 200ft behind the home.

 

Property is surrounded by woods, 4 acre lot size.

 

House is sited 100 ft from private road.

 

Desires a cctv system, with motion, h.264 and blackberry access. Uncertain about alarm inputs.

 

My feelings:

 

2 cameras inside the home (front entrance and back door)

1 inside the attached garage (back door)

1 inside the detached garage, long cable run or wireless?

2 cameras with crossed fields of view covering the front and road (may need 3)

2 cameras with crossed fields covering the back of the house

1 camera looking at the detached garage from the home

 

9 or 10 cameras so probably need to jump to a 16 ch dvr?

 

I need a call on what cameras and dvr would work well. Lets say the budget is $1000 for equipment.

 

Thanks, Steve

Hello and welcome to the forum.

 

You may have to increase your budget some. A $1000 for 10 cameras and a 16 ch DVR may be asking too much. An extra $500 added may not even be enough; but that is just an assumption on my part.

Thanks Larry. The $1000 is based on inexperience... if the cameras are say $150 each, dvr $350, cables etc $200. Then 2k is probably a better number. Steve
