Last summer at about 9pm all the window are open and I am watching the Simpsons marathon. My wife is working on the computer and yells out to me to ask if i was in the garage. She saw the door go up. I run outside and some dude takes off on her bike. Gone before i could even see him. He left behind my brand new land mower. I push that back inside, close the door, grab a pistol and go to look for the ****er while my wife calls the cops. While I am driving around I get passed by 4 cars racing down the street. I eventually go by a street and it's blocked off. I figured something major happened and now no one will be out looking for the guy. It turns out as soon as the call went out he rode buy a police bike patrol, they chased him, he hid under a porch and eventually fought with the them. We got the bike back that night and he is in jail serving a 10 year sentence for burglar 2nd. The a-hole had to walk by my open window and look at me then go to the door on the back of the garage and pry the lock off. Strangely an hour earlier the neighbors were out drinking on the roof of there porch. I was watching waiting for one to fall off. One did when I went inside for something.

Good, inexpensive DVR Systems can be had for $150 to $200 these days. The $200 one comes with EIGHT Cameras. Upgrade one of those boxes to a Solid State Drive when money permits and you could have it record 24x7x365, rock solid reliability, and low power consumption.NRA Life MemberComment

Those cheap cameras are worthless for trying to save a still image for later identification. The resolution sucks. They are only good for monitoring what is currently taking place.Comment

I would hardly call 600 lines of vertical resolution worthless. Standard NTSC is 480i or 480 vertical interlaced lines, so 600 isn't that bad. If you want HD cameras you're going to spend WAY more cash very quickly as the cameras are $150 each and the DVR Software (not a dvr box, as you'd have to build your own) is easily $200 more.NRA Life MemberComment
