Full Version: need a system in a hurry
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
My grandma owns a building in which I am acting as the maintenance man.  I am having some issues with vandalism and I want to install a system that I hope will first act as a deterrent and second aid in the identification of people commiting vandalism.  I am on a limited budget and would like to spend around 400$.  I am happy with a vcr time lapse recorder because I live in the building and it is no problem to change tapes.  I hope to incorporate my time lapse recorder into my entertainment stand and use my tv as a monitor in order to save money.  Is this possible? The first room I want to monitor is 24' x20' with 7.5' ceilings (laundry room). The second 24' x20' with 7.5' ceilings (garage). the third 7' x 4' with 8.5' ceilings (hallway).  I don't have a problem with buying a 4 camera system and finding somewhere to put the fourth camera but I have not seen any 4 camera packages with vcr timelapse.  Any help is appreciated, I know the information I need is on the internet I just do not feel like I have the time to do the proper research so any help is greatly appreciated. If you need more information just let me know.
Hi,
I am going to recommend all the components that you would need to put together such system.
1-time lapse recorder http://www.surveillance-video.com/samst960hour.html.
4-cameras. I choose this high resolution mini dome camera because its high res and it has very wide angle lens, which is something that you need based on the room dimensions that you provided http://www.surveillance-video.com/ctictvaremid.html.
1-quad processor. This is the processor that would allow you to view all four cameras in one screen. http://www.surveillance-video.com/ep4cq.html.
4-power and video cables. Power/video combined cable (Enables cameras to be powered from one central location) http://surveillancevideo.resultspage.com...ug=&w=cpi.
That would be a complete 4 camera time lapse system, which can be used with your existing TV.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
