no DVR attached as i dont feel like looking at footage of birds and leaves blowing in the wind. i have it setup to record using motion detection. it sends me a snap shot photo with time mark + camera stores the footage for like 30sec or so unless more movement is detected.
it's a wireless to network system.
the previous system i had was more of a small-business type with a dvr and while it was great since i only needed to setup one IP for the entire system, it wasn't as flexible as i was stuck with the cameras i got with the system...and their cameras were too SECURITY CAMERA looking.
the current network cameras is just a white box about 3x3". unless pointed out you can't see it from the outside of the house.

Having said that, I would like 2 cameras. One to monitor my front entry, and one keeping an eye on our fenced in backyard... Just cuz.  |
hi mr. gale.
yah, no man door is a great idea. ive heard vandals usually break-in from those doors vs the garage door. honestly, i dont think one can actually break through a garage door unless they can wirelessly steal your code.
my security system also works on backup battery power and auto-dials via traditional landline separate from power, so it's pretty fail safe.

hey there, mr.zman!
sounds good. garages downtown are usually expensive + if it's an affordable old fashion place, better watch out for mice. they will nest under the hood and eat at your plug wires and other soy-based plastic bits on the car.
