Let's say you're taking images (forget off site video) every 3 seconds from your 4 cameras.

Some form of off site recording is also a must, even if limited.I know what you're trying to do, but it's not realistic. If you were starting fresh and had the same list of priorities as the ones listed above, what would your wishlist be? Good IR/Night vision is a plus but necessary (looking into motion sensor lights).Įase of setup does not top the list either, I am a tech support specialist by trade so I can work my way through most setups. Image quality & reliability are the next biggest factors followed by DVR/NAS storage. Some form of off site recording is also a must, even if limited. In other words, at what point do you see diminishing returns on your investment? Looking at a 4-6 indoor camera setup I do not necessarily have a budget set and am looking for the best bang for the buck. A lot of the posts I have seen on here all have a budget associated with it. I've looked into the dropcam/foscam type cameras but would like something a bit more professional. I just purchased my first home and am looking for some advice regarding surveillance systems.
