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!

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? 1) 4-Channel 960H H.264 Security DVR with HDMI Out View and record 960H high-resolution video with sharp, detailed images 960H high-resolution live viewing and recording (30% more detail than standard D1 DVRs) H.264 video compression Built-in motion detection and scheduled recording VGA, BNC, and HDMI outputs Two-way audio streaming Easy video offloading via network and USB Remote viewing and remote configuration Free iOS/Android app available Built-in bandwidth throttle to improve remote viewing over low bandwidth connections Choose your hard drive (Supports up to 4TB) Discount 1) Security Grade Video Storage Hard Drive - 1TB 4) 700 TVL Day/Night 65' IR Outdoor Black Turret Dome Camera CD700B 1/3 Sony CCD image sensor 3.6 mm lens 700 TV lines of resolution Digital day/night improves the camera’s low light sensitivity 65' IR range IP66 weather rated BNC analog video output Operates on 12 Vdc @ 320 mA Built-in OSD 1) Waterproof Pre-Amplified Microphone 1) 4 Camera Power Supply - 12 Vdc 4Amp 12 Volt UL Listed •UL-listed •1/2 in and 3/4 in combination knockouts •AC/DC power LED indicator •Made in the USA 1) 8-Out Surge Protector w/ phone protection 5) Parts, Cables, Connectors, Boxes, Etc cable #1 cable #2 cable #3 cable #4 cable #5 Microphone

So, if I can find an installer to do it for say 4bills, would this system be a better bang for my buck? granted I didn't really give you much info on what I was offered. http://www.costco.com/Q-See-8-Channel-720p-HD-Security-System-with-2TB-HDD-and-8-720p-Cameras.product.100104432.html?catalogId=10701&keyword=865574&langId=-1&storeId=10301

So, 700 tvl cameras lose quality if only using a 960 dvr? I won't lose quality of picture if I went with 960h because it's capped at the dvr? Do they make a 720p dvr and if so, would the money be too much considering the "marginal" difference? Thanks for your help!

I am curious if I am getting my eyes poked. 4 700 tvl 65IR outdoor dome cams 1/3 image sensor built in OSD 1 preamp mic all wires and cables included 4 ch 960h H.264 dvr hdmi out built in motion detection and scheduled recording two way audio streaming remote access for viewing supports 4tb however comes with 1tb. asked for detailed bill and 700 is for install, 180 for Network Tie in for remote viewing DVR and registering my domain for a year at 75 bucks. Any thoughts?
