I use high res IP cameras connected to a PC that runs Blue Iris software. Nice system at a minimal cost and I can connect 100 cameras if I want to. The night vision is awesome.

The basics are these $39 IP cameras from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G1U4MVA/ref=snk_ddb_dp_1_mdpajx?smid=A22E1JQ3DE3K79&psc=1&ie=UTF8
A basic PC I bought used running Windows 7 with 2 network cards, one for my Internal network and one for the camera network. Blue Iris software is $60 http://blueirissoftware.com/
And a $40 POE switch off ebay connects the cameras to the PC. It takes a little network configuration but its pretty easy.

No that is one thing it does not have that I wish it came with. I could probably rig some kind of battery back up to it but I am looking into a whole house generator.

Just remember to add cameras for the generator.

I've got a 1/4 mile long drive with lots of tree cover, my retired dad across the road, a neighbor that watches my place, a reputation for liking guns and a dog running loose. I do like the idea and have thought about it especially after seeing the picture quality.

Ring {that doorbell & other search light & cameras deal}
security seems like it's OK, I know a couple people that have it
lots of different options too, not that expensive, from what they've said
you can stream it directly to your phone or computer etc.
you can Bing Search it

I bought my sister a SimplySafe system
direct shipped it to her
I had a gift card & I didn't need it, so I used it for her,
she's in politics now, she needed it
not sure what the cost was now, it was nothing out of pocket for me
simple self install, you can Bing Search it too

I have a good system already, won't go into detail
on a public forum

I also have a bunch of LEO &/or ex-military
avid firearms enthusiasts, that live all around me

we all pack, we all watch out for each other
& we all have dogs too

I pity the fool, that tries anything...

Dam, I have to change my whole system now, that's great. I'm not into technology so I tried the best plug and play I read about. Thank you for posting yours.

Pretty much all modern camera systems have a USB port and the ability to export video to a thumb drive. They all can be different though so as a home owner with one of these systems its important to understand not only how to play and view video but to also to export it from the system. Most officers will probably not know how to do it.
