Can anyone recommend a good video security system? I need one that can
see at night,must be outdoor compatible, uses motion sensing and can
record to a DVR. The most important thing for me is image quality, it
must be very good. I always see those grainy crime videos on tv and
wonder why someone even bothered paying money for the system.

Having everything is nice. What I really need to know are the
technical specs to look for that insures I have a good outdoor camera
that will work off of motion at night. I can look at cameras all day
but it does me no good if I don't know how well they will work and the
quality of the image.

The cameras are on all the time. The motion sensing is done in the DVR.
$500-1000 won't buy much if you want great picture quality as you say. *One
dome camera will run at least $300.- Hide quoted text -

Having cameras on all the time is a waste, a waste ro review the video
and a waste of recording media. you dont want to spend hours reviewing
video. You get a set up with motion sensors triggering the camera, I
have one and a camera for 100$ and the quality is fine. 300$ gets you
quite a bit these days, as I said I have a camera with built in IR
Leds and motion sensor that cost 4 years ago about 100$. There is no
reason to have the dvr sense motion, the camera should do it.
