got it. Purchasing it tonight. Thanks for your help.

Thank you both. Boogieman; when I looked at that link, I see a LaView LV-KN988P86A4 on newegg for $749. Is that the link you intended to post? Your post mentions a $299 price.

I want to install a security camera system. I'd like to have 4 cameras that can view/record day/night at 50-75 ft minimum with reasonably good clarity. I'd like motion detection on some of the cameras but not all. I don't see a need for wireless and can run wiring in the attic. My budget is roughly $500. I'd like your thoughts on what system and features I should be considering. Thanks in advance.
