Wildcat1 0 Posted September 30, 2011 All I thought I would post in this forum too for your help, advice and recos. Specifically I am looking to purchase (can be all at once or over time) up to 4-5 cams to secure the perimeter of my residence. I was thinking IP cams as I have a POE switch and CAT 5 throughout the residence might be the best option but am open to ideas as I also need good quality nightvision (due to issues in the area) so maybe need to go CCD route and come up with some analog type of setup. My background is IT so am happy from a data perspective but have no clue about things like baluns, hybrid systems etc. Willing to try anything if you can point me in the right direction. My initial budget is $1000 to $1500 to get started and obviously want/need to maximize the investment and allow for a system that can grow. Some of the cameras I have pieced together of interest from the board are: Vivotek IP7361 Vivotek IP8362 Vivotek FD8362E Acti TCM-1231 Acti TCM-7411 Axis AXIS P1346-E Axis 215 PTZ-E Samsung SCV-3080 Sony CH-140 Again, any advice, recos thoughts etc are greatly appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bgoodwill 0 Posted October 23, 2011 The ACt 1231 is a good choice.. you would be amazed how much area the camera can cover and the detail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
