home security camera system?
Hi !
I’m wanting to install a home security camera/DVR system. Good info seems hard to come by. I am temped to try the x10 wireless, (easiest looking solution), and also I do have one location that I would like to include, (outside building), that has AC power, but I can not get a wired (video) connection to . Does anyone have a recommendation between the x10 systems and the bundled systems, (First Security etc, Sams Club), type hard wired systems. Is there a good up to date reference book about this ? I have an attic and cellar, although it’s difficult at my age to do much, (wiring/crawling), in the confined attic space. Does anyone have an opinion about image quality/distance transmission of the x10 system ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. THANK-YOU in advance for your help !!
You didn’t say how many cameras you want to install, however there are always issues with wireless cameras such as, lost signals, ghosting and most of all someone getting your signal and seeing what you are seeing.
A really great system is the Wilife system which records directly to your PC with the included software. Set up is simple and the cost is really low. All you need to do is the following: 1) Load the software (PC Only) 2) Plug the USB receiver into the wall and the USB cable into your computer and 3) Just plug the cameras into any electrical outlet.
The video is streamed along the ELECTRICAL lines (not wireless) directly to the USB receiver and onto your computer and the default is motion detection so the system records only when the cameras sense activity. This system gives you the ability to set up 1-6 cameras so after you purchase the “Starter Kit” which comes with one camera of your choice you only need to buy additional cameras.
You can take a look at one of the Wilife starter kit options here: http://www.clearviewsecurity.com/wilife_spy_camera_starter_kit_wispysk_c0_p38.htm
Hope this helps.
