Video Security Cameras
#7
The basic principle of "you get what you pay for" applies here. You can save money by getting a complete system from Sam's or Costco or Microcenter, but it's not going to give you a whole lot. 

The two most recent systems i installed used an MPX DVR which gives you the option of using analog or HD cameras and an HD DVR with HD-TVI IR cameras. 

The MPX DVR has analog IR cams on it and gives a pretty good picture, especially at night. It uses bullet and dome cameras--both with varifocal lens. At night, the IRs illumate the area as if it were daylight out but it is in black and white. The HD DVR uses HD-TVI cams with IR and gives a crystal clear 1080p picture at 2.1mpx. You can take a screencap and blow up an image to get a clear view of a license plate over 50 feet away. 

The MPX DVR has 8 channels and a 1TB HDD and runs around $300. The HD DVR has 8 channels and a 2TB HDD and runs about $500. 
The cameras, whether analog or HD run anywhere from $100-$500 depending on what you want. You can get good cameras between $100-$200. 

The MPX DVR uses a cloud based remote connection so there's no need for a 3rd party DDNS or any port-forwarding for remote viewing on a PC or smart phone. Not sure about the Avycon HD DVR as i've not gotten to the remote settings yet. 

Most home owners won't want to shell out the $2,000-$4,000 for what i've described so they go with a package that they purchased online or at the previously mentioned stores and it gives them some security but won't really be too helpful in identifying a face or license plate, especially at night. Most people just like the idea of having visible cameras as that's enough to deter most criminals from any activity around their house.
