Newbie question

good day, I am a newbie to CCTV systems and since my son was targeted by a group of teens, he had his tires slashed and a few other problems I am finding I need cameras.

I am on a budget and am looking at a Zosi system I have a couple questions

1. can I run a DVR without a HDD and use my portable HD instead and can I use a laptop with the HD connected and connect to the DVR.

thanks for the help.

Hi. What is your location. .?

If you are on a budget then don't start to waste it on junk

How many cameras do you need and your budget

Im in Saskatchewan and my budgets around 300

I found this for under 3, Q-See 4-channel 720p HD Security System with 1TB HDD and 4 HD 720p Weatherproof Cameras

would need at least 3 cameras

would need at least 3 cameras

Hi. I know your budget is 300 but if you can go a little higher this is better than the q-see.

Even tho they are both made by the same company the lorex has better software.

Both are available in Canada
