Due to my recent break in that neted a loss of $12,000.00 to my insurance company and mental stress to my wife and myself we have installed a security system now. The question is I would like to install a camera system 4 to 6 color cameras and a DVR and multiplexer. Can this be accomplished for 1200 to 1600 dollars. If so what are the web sites. Also, where does one find a floor safe as mentioned in the other thread I think I would like to explore that option also.. Thanks George

Ouch! Ramsey Electronics (www.ramseyelectronics.com) has a pretty good selection of cameras and a time lapse VCR. I'm considering installing some cameras myself and they appear to be decent quality. Dollarwise, I think you're probably in the ballpark depending on what you spend on the DVR.

I haven't looked lately, but I know Sams Club sells video equipment intented for businesses and they weren't that expensive compared to other sources. Just go to samsclub.com -> business needs -> motel/bed&breakfast -> security systems

Clockmaker,
I copied your thread to the electronic security forum also in order to draw on their knowledge.
Floor safes can be found or ordered from many local locksmiths or security companies. I have not used any online vendors so besides doing a search, I cannot help you there.

WE just setup DVMRe GE units @ work and they are great but very pricey.
I have a DVR PCI card in my PC with software. It cost me about $400-500, don't remember but it works for me. I am a computer guys so setting up the rest of the hardware was easy for me.
I can appreciate the beauty of a standalone DVMR unit. MOST are very pricey. I was looking at this one on EBAY.

I sent an e-mail to another Ebayer who purchased an identical unit and they were happy, but I have no first hand knowledge of this particular one.
