Wireless Security Alarm

have some questions about wireless cameras. when running wireless can the other cameras function if the main usb cord or the dsl cord are removed. meaning if you just disconnect the usb will the other cameras on the system still work or does it matter?

I’ve run cat5 cable throughout the house, which i thought I could use to connect security cameras. I don’t need anything fancy (no recording) i just want to be able to use a switcher with a couple of cameras to view who’s at the front door from my TV.

My question is, can cat5 cable handle what the cables that run video/audio/power to the camera handle? Mostly worried about the power.
I don’t have power at the camera locations, so I need cameras that can run power through the connecting cable from the switcher. I would like to splice the cable that comes with these cameras and solder the ends to my prewired cat5 cable. I’m just woried that the cat5 cable wont be able to handle the power…. any input is appreciated.
(I don’t want wireless cameras and am not looking for high end stuff just a basic system)

I am looking to use my exhisting hard drive or to buy a refurbished dvr for a two camera system. Both cameras hook up with one single rca and are wireless. Does anyone know of a site where you can purchase a cheap surveillance DVR or can I use my external book drive with some adaptation. thanks

Where is the best buy on a home security system?

I Would Like To Spend About $200.00-$500.00 On This.
Any Suggestions Will Help. If Anyone Can Send Links. I Am Lost Between Wired Or Wireless? DVR? Any Help Is Welcomed And Thanked.
I Think I Need About 4 Cameras. Thank You.
If Someone Could Actually Configure A System (Wireless Cameras? DVR?, Reciever?) I Thought It Would Be Easier Than This But I Do Not Want To End Up Purchasing A System And Than Figuring Out That It Is Garbage. So I Am Turning To Anyone Who Answers. Thank You Again!!!!

I never bought a camera before. Which one should I start with? Should I buy on Ebay or go to a local store? How dificult is the installation?

Last weekend while bringing groceries into our condo, I had left our groceries right in front of our door. We share a hallway with 3 other people. I naturally bring the groceries in a few bags at a time. When I came back into the hallway I noticed my only plastic bag missing (which was all meat…really expensive steaks!) and a gallon of milk gone. One of my bastard neighbors took it! I knocked on each door and only the old woman next to me answered. I don’t ‘not’ suspect her but…you never know. She didn’t hear any noises or anything.

So my husband is dead set on getting surveillance and security now because he really doesn’t trust our neighbors. He thinks wireless cameras and a touch pad system.

We cannot move right now…

what types of security worked best for you? prices? suggestions?

I just purchased wireless outdoor surveillance camera for my house. It is and is not wireless meaning the camera needs a power source. I would like to install 4 video cameras around my house and want to use a SOLAR power device.
Also (please) a SOLAR power device that would generate enough energy to 4 surveillance cameras.
Any suggestions?

And do not say DUH, I am new to this.

Im installing 7 wireless cameras, and im just wondering if they are going to slow my internet down. Or vice-versa, will the internet interfere with the cameras.

I’ve checked reviews from walmart to tiger direct and they are all over the place from just ok to totally sucking but none good. HELP!!!
