Need ideas on CCTV system

[nejo 0]

Hi all,

 

I want to have two (for now, four to five when complete) cameras watching my house, interior at first.

 

I thought of using my Synology DS213j with their Surveillance Station at first, but I think it will be to weak to handle a couple of 720p cameras.

 

Now I don't know what to do really, I prefer to not have a computer running 24/7 and I don't feel like spending 1K USD on a DVR/NVR.

 

So, I thought I'd ask you guys for advice. What do you think?

You can get a NVR for under $350 that would handle up to 8 IP Cameras

 

Now you just need to decide on cameras and how you are going to mount/wire them.

 

I would look at IP cameras, analog is pretty much "dead" at this point

Nice, would you mind mentioning one (or a few)?

 

I'm thinking IP cameras, either Foscam (which seem pretty easy to get hold of here in Sweden) or HIKvision, however they seem harder to come by.

Would come to a total of about 650USD.

 

Any thoughts?

looks ok. The 2132 are outdoor cams as well not just indoor...keep in mind that they cannot be wall mounted without a braket....
