We have a house located on a lake that we just completed, when we had it built we hired a company to prewire everything for home automation and security. We currently have a security system in place by them and have no complaints. We have also inquired about purchasing everything else 4 Cameras outdoor a dvr and the required switch equipment. Needless to say, we checked some of the prices of the equipment online and where shocked at the markup. For 4 cameras, NVR and switch they are quoting us ~$4000. Needless to say this is not in our budget and we would like to do something ourselves I am fairly tech savvy and have a few friends that are more so than me. Just wondering if anyone has purchased something that would meet our needs and not break the bank. the main goal here is just to remote view the home and record if anyone where to break-in or attempt to.
Thanks
