uscgto 0 Posted October 7, 2011 Welcome. Whats your budget? Can you draw a map of your property? What are your goals? Budget is upto $3k (please remember I am a noobie when it comes to this and I might be overquoting the budget). Maybe after gaining some knowledge I'll realize it was more like $1k deal. The property is a rectangle on a 10k sqft lot. It'll have a wrought iron fence and a gate in the front. The built area is abt 4500 sq-ft. Goals: I am trying to cover the front of the house with 2 cameras and couple cameras in the rear as well. I would like to repeat 4-5 cameras inside the house too. Motion sensors and some integration with the alarm system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted October 7, 2011 Your original budget figure is more accurate - you should expect to spend no less than $150 for a *quality* camera, ideally closer to $200+, so there's $1600 right there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
