best outdoor security camera night vision image
Bp1066
I want to put 1 or more security cameras in my yard for many reasons. I want to know how much this will cost and where i can buy this. I want something that records and stores footage so when i go on vacation I could view the footage when i arrive home. Any tips or sugestions?
Thanks.
I want this to be as cheap as possible so i don't think running a cord through my yard would work.

To recorder the video you need a computer with lot of hard drive space or a video recorder - this can be digital or analog.
I use a DVR similar to this one:

You need to add a hard drive. One of these is probably good enough for around 30 days of recording:

but a 500 gig is probably a better idea. Set the image capture so when nothing is going on, there is only 1 still every 4 or more seconds, then set motion detection areas to trigger the recording to go to real time - that will revert to the 1 per four seconds (or whatever you choose) after about 15 seconds of no motion in the detection area.
Then comes the cameras... Higher resolution or night vision or wireless or rated for outdoor add to the cost. Remember - wireless is only wireless for the video signal - you still need power for the camera. If wired, the low-res are probably the cheapest cameras you will find with decent resolution.
This is probably as cheap as it gets - the night vision "throw" is not very far...

If you only need it for a one-time deal and install the camera under the roof-eve, you can use a indoor camera - but just so you know, it won't last as long as a camera rated for outdoor use.

good resolution and long throw on the night vision.
I am not aware of single channel DVRs... since you have 4 channels, you can use up to 4 cameras - but you do not need to fill all the channels.
If you are that paranoid, you might also consider a battery back up - the cameras and the DVR need to plug into it.
Since we don't know the cameras you want to use, we don't know the power they draw - but this

should last a couple of hours with just the DVR.
Be sure to install the DVR in a place that is (1) difficult to find and (2) attached to something solid so it cannot be easily removed.

How much would it cost to set up Home Security Camera system?

I would like to put some security cameras around the outside of the house, because of trouble with the neighbors. I would like to view what the cameras see, later. I think I would need at least three cameras, one on the car in the street, one on the front porch area, and one on the back yard area. Or maybe two in the front.
What is the best way to do this?
About how much would it cost?
Answer
It depends what you want to do with the video.
An inexpensive consumer 4-channel surveillance DVR is about $300.
Add in a 500 gig hard drive for about $70 (records the video).
4 cameras - Average $100 each for outdoor rated, night vision, so $400... budget around $1,000 for a low-end, multi-camera, system.
The expensive part is the labor. Are you planning to install it yourself? How will the camera's wires get from the camera to the DVR? Thinking "wireless" cameras? They still need electricity - so is there power where you want to install the cameras?
Actually, "wireless" security cameras use more wires than wired ones... The camera needs power (1 wire) and transmits video wirelessly to a base station. The base station needs power and a wire to the DVR. Total = 3 "wires". A wired camera has one long "combo" cable that carries video and power.
How do you want to monitor that video? The DVR has a video-out connection that can connect to any TV with a working, available, composite (yellow RCA jack) plug. More expensive DVRs can be added to a computer network...
