mrblueox 0 Posted October 28, 2016 I need a system for outdoor use. I need 5 cameras with a recorder. Internet access is not available where the cameras are going to go. I looked at this system Nigh owl model wm-16hd10l-8720 comes with 8 720 cameras. Can anyone else suggest a ssytem. budget between 5-600$ and longest run from recorder to camera will be 250ft. What is a good source for cameras and such. I know the better the camera the better the pic Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a 4 cam IP system twice the res of the cameras you have listed plus you have no more expense as you don't need to pay for power supply .... This system is plug and play IP https://www.lorextechnology.com/hd-ip-security-camera-system/8-channel-hd-security-camera-system-with-ip-cameras/LNR341C4B-1-p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrblueox 0 Posted October 29, 2016 They just have none listed on the site that are cheaper then 200$ for a single camera. Since i will need to add 2-3 300ft cables to the package and need to stay as close to 700$ i can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or buy your listed system that's out of date and waste your full budget Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1stsighttechnology 0 Posted November 6, 2016 A better option may be to use IP Cameras, you can then only run one line from the cameras to the recorder. If the cameras are a distance away, with IP you have the ability to also shoot across a wireless link ( I have done that a lot lately). Here is how I see your IP set up being IP cameras running into a POE Switch One Cat5e from the POE switch to the NVR Keep in mind you will always need electric where the POE Switch is.

mrblueox 0 Posted November 6, 2016 Thanks got the ip camera system. Looks like hopefully I'll get it setup this week waiting on cable. Just need to find something to protect nvr in non climate controlled building Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
