A few years ago I looked into all of the wireless systems as they are in theory easier to set up than a wired one. After a lot of looking, and NOT wanting a subscription based video storage I ended up with the DVR, and 4 cameras that all run off of Power over Ethernet, or PoE. The cat 5e cables and a switch in my desk cabinet, and drag cables up the wall and to each corner of the house. Dirty hot itchy work. Attic work is never fun.

In the end, I have a system that only cost the electricity to run it, and it stores a 8 days over the most boring video on the planet. My driveway, side yard, back yard and back door. I think the entire DVR and 4 cameras was about $500. I can add more cameras and they are color HD cameras with infrared B&W at night.

It did let me capture the moment a pizza delivery guy smacked into the garden dry stack retaining wall. It did more damage to his mom's minivan than the wall. I picked up one stone, and placed it back into position.

It just runs flawlessly 24/7/365. I never have bothered to put the system on the internet, so it is 100% hack proof and even if someone hacked it, they would die from boredom watching the yards at my house. Wow, there goes the dog to take go pee, look there, the dog chased the bird. Wow, a car drove down the street!
