I want to install a Home Security Camera System. I don't want to buy a prepackaged kit because I want to invest in better camera's. What will it take for me to build a system if I buy a used monitor and CPU and new camera's? I don't know what else is needed to create my system.

Answer
You will require drill , mounting bracket & Camera for installation.

First you will have to take decision about the proper position of Camera. Then you have make mark on the wall. You will have to drill the holes & fit the mounting bracket. Connect the wires from camera to monitor. Check the power supply with tester and give power to Camera.Position the camera so that it faces the proper area. Check the overall operation.

What is the best system for home security cameras? Wirered cameras or wireless cameras?

I never bought a camera before. Which one should I start with? Should I buy on Ebay or go to a local store? How dificult is the installation?

Answer
i mounted and wired wired camera.. but never set up.. setting up seems pretty easy.. it comes with software so you have to set the camera to the right order..

wireless might be easier and less of a hassle if its both indoor and outdoor... no wires to run. only mounting..

wired is better because you get the connection regardless of wether and location.. as long as you get the cable in..

i dont know where they got it but it was shipped so it was probably from an online retailer..
