I am planning on buying a 8 camera surveillance system for my
home and was wondering with of these is a better system and why:
Swann, NightOwl, Qsee or Lorex.

Answer
I haven't seen any of the brands you mention,
but I know that many security camera systems
that are sold under a lot of different names
are actually exactly the same junky equipment,
sometimes with only slight cosmetic differences.

You could probably waste your money on any of them to equal effect.

Security System with different recording times?

baddawg121

I'm looking for a security system where I can have different recording periods on each camera.
I was thinking to have around 8 cameras for my business where some would be on only during business hours and others to be on all the time. I also want the data on certain cameras to be held for X months before deleting footage.

The way I see it is that I would have to have multiple DVRs to do this.

I was just wondering if there was already a system in place that didn't make me do that though.

Answer
A DVR is enough. A DVR can control 32 security cameras at most.
As for you want to keep the footage for X months, it depends on how many cameras you run and what video quality you use. Normally, a 500GB DVR with 8 cameras can last for a month.
