best do it yourself security camera system image

Lost of crime in my neighbor and interested in home camera surveillance. Is it expensive and is it worth it?
Answer
You can purchase a variety of different systems, ranging from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand. You probably don't need the most expensive systems (unless your house is huge). A good option would be to place external security cameras in areas that a thief would most likely pass through before he entered your home. You can then attach the security cameras to a DVR so that they only record when there is activity.
However, I think its important to point out that while security cameras are great, they are only one (optional) component of home security. Your first goal should be a home security system. You can purchase these online and install them yourself. They are the same models as you would receive from ADT or Brinks, but at a fraction of the cost, since you do the actual installation (which is not that difficult). The site below is a good resource for home security systems and camera systems. Good luck.

How much to install 16 camera security system?
Connor
I was just wondering about how much ONLY an installation would cost for 8 outdoor cameras? This includes wiring and mounting and all that. Thanks!
I'm saying like if we had a professional come and install it, we all ready bought the system.
Answer
Well over a grand unless you install it yourself. About 700 bucks if you do a little comparative shopping and install it yourself.
