Looking for better camera, hard drive system or both?

Recommended Posts

I currently have the set up below and I am pretty dissatisfied with the level of clarity I can see on playback. I have "upped" the level in which it records to get the best possible video recorded but still I want better. Night viewing is really bad. One of my neighbors car was hit in the street and I told him I would see what kinda car it was. I couldn't even tell if it was a sedan or 2 door! There's got to be something better. I at least had them install the best lines they had so I can swap out as I needed. What would you recommend for high quality video and playback? I was slightly upset at the time that they put one of the cameras under the roofline on the second story which makes the camera far away giving it a more tough time capturing video. They said it was for weather purposes. Anyone have any recommendations?

Hi. 2 things stand out from your post

 

 

MADE IN USA.

 

 

other is 960h recorder yet only using 700tvl cameras.

 

At least change your most needed cameras to 960h

 

Also cable ..... Did you buy the cheap kits

No, I made sure to get really good cables, they are very thick and from what I was told the best they had. I wanted to make sure of that as I know they are the constant in an install.

 

Is that the best video I can get because of the DVR? In other words. Higher would be overkill because of what I am recording it off of? I just want the best possible playback possible. (say within $100 to 150 a camera)

 

Thanks for the reply!
