I have recently hardwired the entire location for Ethernet using Cat6 and the next project will be video surveillance. Most of the cameras will be outside under an eve in the soffit. I would like them to be as least intrusive as possible, so I'm thinking about using dome cameras. I think IP cameras is a no brainer at this point, but I'm open to discussion. I'm plenty comfortable with network settings/configurations etc... I'm thinking a 16ch system may be the way to go so that I can add more down the road if I need.
I haven't decided if I want them to record all the time or to simply capture based on motion.
There are no runs longer than 200ft.
Any good suggestions on systems or just cameras etc...? Is it worth it to use just cameras and make your own NVR or is it better to get the NVR system with the cameras?
I appreciate any input. Thanks.
I forgot to mention cost. I'm not trying to buy cameras that are obscenely expensive, but I'm looking for a good balance between cost and quality. I've got no problem spending 100-150 a camera.
