kawasaki97 0 Posted June 30, 2012 Hi Everyone, I'm in desperate need of suggestions on which cameras to buy for the OUTSIDE of my house and which store/website will offer the most competitive prices. I've been doing some research and these features are important to me- Dome Outdoor, weather/vandal proof Vari-focal IR for maybe 50-70ft I guess more couldn't hurt right? White or beige in color "Tilt" or "Eyeball" feature $60-$100 range Auto Iris/Mona Lisa I need 4 cameras. One will be right near the front door. I was told that if you want a better view at the front door the camera should have less IR's. Is this true? I have heard mixed reviews on off name brands. Some say they are just as good as brand and other say the opposite. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shockwave199 0 Posted July 2, 2012 Go to gadspot. com and grab four GS830SM in white. For under 100 bucks, it really doesn't get better than what that camera offers, including smart IR which will adjust itself when someone gets close to it like the front door, so they don't white out. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shockwave199 0 Posted July 3, 2012 No problem. And to boot- each camera comes with a power supply too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
