I have been thinking about getting a wireless camera security system for the compound and it looks like there is a ton of stuff out there with different options. I would like at least six cameras(option to add more) with night vision capability and a dvr. I just don't want to go out and buy something and have regrets later. If your an expert or have experience please share your thoughts. As always I appreciate the input here.

    No personal experience but Costco has a couple systems and a very liberal return policy.

    I'll be watching this also. Been thinking same thing. Seen several at Parts express but most are out of price range or just do not match my needs. Most I seen with night vision are very limited range or very fuzzy resolution. I also have no computer and aluminum siding that will play havoc with the wireless cameras...or so I hear

    Zmodo has decent system for the budget minded. I have a 4 camera system 3 outdoor 1 inside complete wireless setup no DVR, didn't feel the need to record/store everytime the motion sensors went off. I get alerts on my cell phone and I can control if I want to record or just take a snapshot.

    Check out Ring. They have a wireless cam now too. Two way audio, cloud storage, easy setup.

    Drop cam is good but more than three can cripple your average network.

    If you have the money, look at icrealtime.

    The problem with wireless is it really wireless, not really as most still require power. Will you be able to get power to the locations?

    Ring doorbell.
    Has a camera, two way audio, easy setup, cool app, and can be wired or you can use the battery that is built in ( last 1 year).

    Ring Camera, same deal. Has a battery built in, works on WiFi.
    I have the Doorbell and its great.

    another cool thing they offer is stolen cam/doorbell replacement. So if somebody takes you gear, they will send you new stuff.
