Security cam / DVR help for a noob

[Driven2slow]

Thank you. I think this is exactly what I am looking for.

Quick question, I can view this setup in real time from my phone/tablet/smart tv even when it's not recording, correct?

Thanks again

Let me know if my price is high on those.... It was hard to get a feel for them.

When you do install your security camera system, I'd mount
a good dummy camera you can easily see and the real one
you can't.

Instead of the faux camera, put a standalone IP camera in place to use that "faux" camera that's not going to record as your live feed.

Thanks. I'll pass the links on

Same.

I know Mike watches that shit when he's bored though.

Sometimes he stalks you when you're sitting at the bar.

Got this set up from Costco and had it on my house for 4 years with 0 problems... shows on my smartphone, ipad... pretty good night vision
Easy hookup, plug and play

This is my line of work.

Heres what I recommend, no need for a computer. All you need is a monitor:

Its a Lorex system and what comes with it:
4 1080p Cameras POE IP/RJ45

Thanks again, I went with this system. Also found a promo code and got another 15% off. Under $500 shipped

I think my extra cameras will work with that kit. I have 12 left

I might hit you up... let me see how this install goes

Finally got cracking on this today... tested a few of them out in the living room and then on with what I knew would suck... running cables.

Old house with a cramped attic, one person and one ladder. I moved that ladder from the corner or the house to the attic access (have to climb a ladder and go through a hole in the garage ceiling) about 49 times. Five hours, two trips to the hardware store and one trip to Best Buy later... I have one camera installed! It's pretty stealthy, as it blends in with the overhangs. Happy about that.

My old LCD TV wouldn't recognize the camera, so I ran to Best Buy and snagged a 32" Vizio. No idea where it's going to end up, so it's on my workbench in the garage for now

I bought this set up last year when they offered a 16 channel DVR. It works pretty well with a Defender app with playback and record. Caught a fox talking a shit on my driveway last month when I thought it was the neighbors dog.

This is from the app on my phone, the TV in HD looks more clear.

Also, I just ran to the gas station for some duct tape... because I may or may not have drilled through the roof.

Looks good. Why did you need to hit the hardware store and Best Buy?

First I needed a bigger drill bit.... then the flashing for my underhang had about a 4" gap up to the actual roof... so the screws provided weren't long enough. They would have been just hanging by the flashing. I wanted them anchored into the wood. I also bought some copper tubing and ran the screws through it between the flashing and the wood, so it was sturdy and not pinching the flashing up.

Went to Best Buy for the TV to use as my monitor. I only have the one camera running right now and it's not connected to the internet/cloud yet. I am going to need a longer Ethernet cable to connect to DVR to my router... thats tomorrow's tasks. Mount and wire the other three and get it online
