    Thanks all!

     

    CaptainVideo, I sent you a PM. Great to find someone else from Long Island. I'm in Nassau County

     

    Hey gabelman, I'm from long island too .

     

    Check out my two posts in this thread link http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=51070

    I explain some of the bad about all in one box type systems .

     

    I use a supply house in Ronkonkoma called canal alarms .

    Chris at the counter is very knowledgeable. They are an authorized

    Reseller of many popular brands .they have a lot of stuff on display

    In the showroom ,and I can't find better prices anywhere local .their

    website is 123securityproducts.com .you can research dvr and camera

    Specs and check out the learning center on their site too .

     

    You didn't say how many camera's you were considering for each

    Residence but I would recommend at least an 8 channel dvr .most

    average sized homes on long island need at least 6 camera's for

    decent coverage .

     

    Hikvision makes very good equipment .the ds-7208hqhi & ds-7308hqhi

    Dvr's are worth considering .

     

    Check out the link I posted about the bad side of all in one box systems ,

    Then look around the website .

    Come back and ask more questions or feel free to send me a pm .I am

    Happy to help you any way I can with dvr & camera selection , design ,

    and installation questions .

    I'm looking to buy a security camera system for my home. Can anyone tell me what they think about this system?

     

    HIKVDS7208HGHISH2TB Hikvision DS-7208HGHI-SH-2TB - 8 Channel

    HIKVDS2CE16D1TIT13 Hikvision DS-2CE16D1T-IT1/3 (8 Fixed cameras)

     

    In addition to the above question: Is there anything I should get to protect the cameras for a home near the beach? Someone mentioned I should get humidifier for some cameras. I want audio for one area where a camera will be displayed. Is fixed or dome cameras better. I Want to be able to view on iphone and windows computer.

    Someone mentioned to me that some Hikvision systems are made out of the U.S. and US is better. How do I know whether or not is from the US?

     

    I'd greatly appreciate any advice.

    Hi All,

    I was wondering if anyone can help me find a video system for the outside perimeter of my home and for a relative's home. I'm not very familiar, nor do I understand much, but I don know I want HD, Night vision, and a very good quality system. I was going to have ADT come to give me an estimate, however, they do monitoring and have a monthly fee. I'd just like my own system, where I can view everything on my phone and/or computer and stores everything on the DVR. I'm looking to spend around $2,000 for each system, if that doable. I had seen some systems at COSTCO but I'm not sure how good they are. I would also need an installer on Long Island.

     

    Any system would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
