Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and new to home surveillance. I'm about to the start construction on a new home and having a way to keep an eye on things are high on the list of things I want, unfortunately that task is left up to me to figure out and needless to say I'm a noob.
I've looked at some camera packages and could probably buy one of those and be perfectly fine but If the tech world has taught me anything it's that you can do more for less $ when building yourself and get better performance.
I'd like to have 4 to 8+ cameras setup to my PC for viewing but also have ability to be viewed from my phone and such when I'm away. A good 4K camera would be nice if I can power it via PoE, I don't want to run anything more than ethernet cables to the cameras.
