I agree with Soundy on the VCM-24VF cameras. I installed four of those cameras around my house, ran the Cat5 wiring through the attic and used a Geovision card in a computer. Soundy did final termination work at the cameras and at the card dongle and power supplies. The cameras are really good and I've pretty happy with them. I bought them online from down in the US, about 1/2 the price from here. The sellers up here are pretty tight about selling to the public.

The only thing I would do differently is get away from the Geovision card and computer and go to a PC based DVR unit. I find that for some reason when I watch the recorded pictures, it looks like it's raining on the screen. But it's only on two of the channels and if I swap the camera feeds around, it stays on the same channels, not with the cameras. So that tells me that the card and the computer don't play along nicely.
