I have been asked to set up a camera security system in a local store

[WarDemon666]

He was thinking about 8 cameras, but i think 6 would be enough.....

Anyways, any set up would work, but a hard drive and computer w/ internet access would be great.

Ive come across the Q-See setup at costco.com, does anyone have any information about that setup?

How about if I get the PCI card version and install it on a computer?

Whats the cheapest way I could get this guy a GOOD setup with about 6 cameras? (two outdoor and 4 indoor)

Internet access is a must, and the cameras have to be pretty good quality, like, able to make out / zoom into a persons face...

Thanks for all suggestions!

What kind of price range are you looking at?

I set up my club with a Geovision card that I bought here. I bought there top of the line,the GV-1480,it's been rock solid.

As far as cameras go,you get what you pay for. I didn't need the best but what I bought does the job.

Go to this site to
get alot of info on security systems.
