Security systems can be difficult to set up. I bought a Q-See system, 4 cameras, 700 lines of resolution, 2 TB hard drive for like $258 new. The hard part is setting it up. It’s amazing what these new systems can do. I have mine on a reserved IP (if you don’t know what that means then you should probably have someone set it up for you) with a cell phone app. The cameras can be set to record motion only. At 30 fps I think I get 1-2 months of recording, you can even program them to E-mail when something happens. The technology is really cool! Nothing much happens here but I’m ready if it does.
