best do it yourself security camera image
I need ans
I'm looking for a indoor only "security" camera system that's wireless.
Can you recommend any good ones?
It's mainly to keep an eye on my elderly mom. Just in case she falls or something.
Oh, it also needs to be viewable on a computers at home and away.
Thanks

Wireless camera systems are convieniant but they're not secure, anyone could watch your mom. Wired systems are much better.

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?

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...
