Thinking of installing security cameras around our home.

I have a friend who I helped install these in his colmado:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EWP1C6A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
Quality is good, night vision sees off into the distance quite a bit.
For cameras in this price range, those are some of the best you can get.
Choosing a DVR is really key.
If you pick a crappy DVR it'll be hell setting it up to view remotely. Try to pick a DVR that has a mobile app that's pretty much entering a username and password. I know you can do that with NVSIP but not sure which DVRs some with that software built in.
Good luck.

Just install Parallels - 80 bucks or so, and you can run Windows software on your mac.
I have 5 cameras in around my little used house in the UK. The outside ones are all IR, the one in the garage IR/Wireless. They email me when they detect movement, the other option is an SMS message. I can login anytime online or via my phone to see whats going on, playback recordings, take photos, start a recording etc. I saved about US$10,500 as compared to some other systems 
The neighborhood has had 2 burglaries in the past few months, both of those houses had no visible CCTV cameras, they do now. It's clear from just about every study, that CCTV cameras are a good deterrent and can aid in convictions, including the DR.
Combine CCTV with dogs, lights and you have a pretty good deterrent. Of course at the end of the day if they "really" want to get into your property they will.

I bought an IR flood light on Amazon to improve the night vision of my cameras. I can now count the geckos climbing on my neighbours walls.

Okay, dummy alert here..... Since this uses an SD card, does that mean you don't connect to a computer, you just remove the SD card and insert it in computer slot?? I ask because we have Macs and after what Harley said......
i would expect that such cams also work with a Mac.
usually when i buy cam stuff for the boats, the descriptions and software shows one section for windows programs and one section of the manuals for Mac's.
i can't tell you what different things you have to do, as the only one in the family with Mac Computers is my Sista who works as Graphics designer thingy stuff ans tells that Mac is the only way to go, myself i am a pure windows 8.1 user and have no clue about a Mac. but the cam descriptions of my equipments always show instructions for connecting the stuff to a Mac, too.
or do on google/amazon and alikes a search for Cameras for Mac Computer Systems, i can imagine that you get millions of pages offered.

Seems like it fifty fifty how much of a deterrent the cameras are. It does make it look like you have valuables to protect. Me, I like dogs, guns and a strong safe room for sleeping. Never leave the joint empty. No one messes with us so far and I sleep just fine.
dear mike,,,,,,im sorry to inform you,,,,,,,but it was on the local news channel...which is national cbs 2 ...and my hood...we had one lov/coke murder/divorse in 50 yrs... a slow down christian neighborhood /walking distance to big catholic church/school... and please reread my post....
the bathrooms in my house are the only rooms under video high res surveillance.
what ya think why i let all the girls on my beach use the bathrooms and showers here, for free???
btw, it really helps that the Cam in the shower head is waterproofed, Deeep waterprooved.

I can only guess so......since Ochoa sells 1m sections of scary looking spikes that cement on top of the wall..... not cheap if I remember rightly....
Do it the dominican way :nervous:, on the front use these for esthetics and on the other 3 sides use the sharrded glass technic. ( note that ladrones use cocunut halfs to bypass the glass effect. )
P.S. I say dominican way, as I cant start to count the number of houses who have a gorgeous front-road facade...... and the rest is apparent block and zinc......ie, MIL, SIL.....

Security is a type of theatre, a set of deterrents implemented to make choosing another locale a likely occurrence.
Cameras, dogs, walls, walls, with razor wire or glass, motion sensors, electric fences can all be defeated by a determined ladrone. The idea is to make breaching a layered perimeter more trouble than its worth. If a nasty guy has to bring a ladder, a blanket, wire cutters, poisoned meat, an IR emitter, lock pick, hack saw and a snack, he will just go next-door where he needs fewer tools to attain the objective.
I don't like glass on top of walls. I do not find it ascetically pleasing and it is easy rendered ineffective. A couple of wires suitably spaced with 50K volts running through them is a much more problematic deterrent to defeat. Very few people in this country appear to know how electricity really works and a electric deterent might just be the Dominican equivalent of a Rubik's Cube to your neighbourhood ladrones.

It could easily be run off an inversor. An electric fence is just a closed electrical circuit. There is a slight loss of energy over the entire run of wire and to power a transformer to boost the voltage, but the wires themselves just contain the current, they don't actually use that current or discharge that current until grounded when someone or something touches both wires or one wire and the wall/ground. So electric fences are very cheap to run as they consume almost no power themselves.
