zeoxeo 0 Posted November 3, 2014 Hello all! A few years ago I had some drunks at my door doing some questionable things early in the morning. Ever since then I've wanted to install a few security cameras. Placing the cameras won't be too hard, I know right where I want them, BUT, I'm having a hard time finding cameras that fit my criteria (probably due to a lack of knowing where to look) So, my question to you all is, what camera(s) should I be looking at? I want something concealable (probably going to put it in a bird box along my fence) I need something that's got decent night vision, about 30 yards would work well. It has to be able to stand up to -50f degree temperatures outdoors. It would also be great if it had a live feed I could view anywhere from a computer or smart phone. And a really great feature would be a short backup battery for when we lose power during winter snow storms and summer thunder storms. What kind of products am I looking at? Thanks for your help everybody! -Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zeoxeo 0 Posted November 3, 2014 The bird box will be about 30 meters from my door(rough estimate). I'd like to set up two cameras. I suppose I'd prefer to spend <$100 but I'd be willing to go up to 175 per camera if there's something perfect in that range for my preferred specs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would go with Hikvision's new HD-TVI stuff and a DVR. Quality is excellent for the price. How large is the bird box? You should be able to get a plain old bullet camera right up to the hole.
