Allright, I will go with that camera Soundy, I didn't realize you had already posted that link once... Thanks for posting the pics FF, I see you have 8 cameras up there, I think I'll start with 6 and go to 8 if need be. I'm going to call Sean in the am and get everything worked out. I really appreciate your help...

Pic is gone, I posted it while I was walking out the door and didn't think about the address up there. I'm not all that worried, you guys seem like a good bunch and I'm pretty well armed anyway.. Thanks for the insight on camera location, which ones do you guys think I should use? Not looking for top of the line, just something reasonable, that will work well in a low light situation. Thanks again!

Here you go Soundy, thanks!

All good info Soundy, thanks! I will look into adding quality motion detectors to the flood lights. If you have enough info to tell me, how many cameras do you think I need? The security system does have the stay and away settings, to be honest, the alarm was not on the day we were robbed. Hindsight is 20/20. Thanks!

Drawing with mods, stars are cameras. Not sure about the ones in the middle, on either side. We are on a long, corner lot, there is a street on the front door, and garage door sides. There are woods on the back part, pretty thick, I don't think that's going to be the access point for anyone looking to break in. We do have a lot of flood lights, but I was hoping to install the IR cameras, and just keep the front light on. Thanks for checking out my post.

Night vision or IR is going to be important to me... we have a few knuckleheaded kids that think knocking on my door at 12am is funny, apparently the sight of me in my boxers, holding a remington 12gauge isn't scary enough for them... I'd like to get their ugly mugs on camera. The plan is to put the system on motion detection, so save HD space, going with a 500 GB HD. I can run either cat5 or RG59. If I don't have the DVR and pwr supply in the same space, I'm guessing I'll have to make two runs, correct? Cat5 and maybe 18/2? I'm mostly concerened about how many cameras we'll need to effectively cover the house. Hopefully that drawing is enough info.

Hey guys, our house was broken into Feb. 29th and I am taking the steps now to better protect my family. We have a security system, but it was during the day, and it wasn't on. We live in a gated neighborhood, with camera's at the gate, but just found out that the camera wasn't even working that day I would like to install a decent DVR system like this one: Qvis Apollo HD 8 I'm not sure how many camera's we need, I'm thinking at least 6. I would like to access it online and through my phone if need be. Not sure of the cameras we will need, any help would be appreciated. Power supply, something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Supply-Box-CCTV-CCD-Camera-9-Port-12V-DC-Pigtail-/320555253221?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa294fde5 This is a rough drawing of the house. the two lines signify french doors, single line is one door. I don't really have a budget for the system, but I'd like to be around $1,500 if possible. Thanks!

Hey guys, I've lurked on the site for the past week(House was broken into and I am gathering info) and I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I would like to install a basic but reliable system in our house, in the next week or so. I really appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks and Go Gators!!!
