Security Cameras Systems

I have 2 wireless cameras and using thrm for home security do i need a time lapse vcd or a regular one and i have a pvr im not using can i hook that up too cameras i tryed but it didnt work dont know what channel they would go on

Someone broke into my house today while I was gone. Makes me mad. I have a nice house and work hard for my stuff. Rural area, takes the cops 30 minutes tops to get to my house. I am thinking of buying a closed circuit camera system that records to DVR and a set of motion lights for the doors and an audible alarm system. What else should I consider. Oh yeah, I just got my .38 special out and made sure it fires good.

We have had some trouble recently with someone messing with our cars while we are gone. We want to purchase an inexpensive home security camera, something we can set up outside. But it would have to be motion activated, and possibly be able to view in the dark. I don’t know anything about security cameras, and in the process of trying to read up on them, I’ve just become more confused. We don’t have a lot of money, so any inexpensive suggestions would be helpful. They would have to be wireless as well. I don’t know how or what we would use to record the video…like I said…I don’t know anything about security cameras…any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks

i have no choice but to live in a town that has alot of robbery and vandalism , i thought bout locking all the gates with a pad lock at night, buying security cameras, and we have two dogs that are very protective, but we seem to get robbed by people i know my dogs never attack someone once i let them know its okay for them to be in the house so therefor if my dogs are home and im not home and they come to the house my dogs wont attack, what are the best places to buy security cameras , isnt there something i can buy to put on all the windows and doors that causes it to alarm once opened , im not talking bout an alarm system dont have enough money for that but more like sensors or something
when i say people i know im referring to friends and acquantences i know someone is backstabbing me but i cant figure out who and i cant go around accusing now can i

For discouraging intruders what have you found to be the best method/device? My ideas so far have been a motion sensor alarm system, an iron gate, a dog (?), a security camera and/or notices or stickers. What do you think is best?

I already have an alarm system at home. Should I still install a home security camera?

I want to buy 1 camera, to place in a window that can view outside my house at night. I’d like to set it and forget it. I need it to record all of the time, and be able to access it when something is vandalized. I’m thinking some kind of DVR. Can anyone who currently uses a system like this let me know what they use, and if they like it. I’ve already looked at a number of internet sites, but they don’t have product reviews.

I’ve run cat5 cable throughout the house, which i thought I could use to connect security cameras. I don’t need anything fancy (no recording) i just want to be able to use a switcher with a couple of cameras to view who’s at the front door from my TV.

My question is, can cat5 cable handle what the cables that run video/audio/power to the camera handle? Mostly worried about the power.
I don’t have power at the camera locations, so I need cameras that can run power through the connecting cable from the switcher. I would like to splice the cable that comes with these cameras and solder the ends to my prewired cat5 cable. I’m just woried that the cat5 cable wont be able to handle the power…. any input is appreciated.
(I don’t want wireless cameras and am not looking for high end stuff just a basic system)

I’m looking for something cheap that has audio and is wireless. Thanks!

i like for it to have night vision, and pretty good clarity, also be able to install it to my tv. oh yeah biggest thing be affordable.
