Question: I'm looking at getting up to 4 cameras to mount throughout my property.
Probably all will be outside, so weatherproof is a factor.
I've done lots of looking around, but there doesn't seem to be just the
right camera out there. This is the closest I've found: http://smarthome.com/7537B.html
But it doesn't have audio and the resolution is a little lower than I'd
like. If this had audio and was closer to 400 lines, I'd be happy. I like the
idea of the automatic mode switching to give me 24/7 coverage.
I don't want wireless. I also need the ability to pump the camera signal
through upwards of 500' of cable (don't know if that's a big deal or not
since most only talk about 60-100' of included cable). And, lastly, I need
the ability to put all 4 cameras in to a mixer (or whatever you call it)
so that I can display all 4 on 1 screen - or record all for at once.
Can anyone help the newbie find information about Surveillance Camera Equipment?
Answer:You'll want to have a look at the "Night Hawks" at http://www.silentwitness.com. There are loads of other choices as well...

Either way, you're looking for professional grade CCTV equipment. A four
camera multiplexer may suit your present needs, but if you might see
yourself needing a bit more, you might consider going with an eight camera
one.
