Security Cameras

As discussed in the last meeting, here is a list of home security cameras that are a great deal.

NOTE:  Some kits listed below have the ability to do more cameras, but those other cameras are sold separately.  In other words, the first example says 8 channels but only includes 4 cameras.  With this model, you can buy four more cameras to cover all 8 channels.

The following schematic shows how a typical home is protected by crossing the line of sight of the cameras so that one camera protects another.  See below:  The red line symbolizes cameras protecting each other within line of sight.  The black arrows are the coverage area of the camera.  In other words, two cameras per corner of the house.  The example below probably doesn't match any home within our area, but it is a good example to get you started.

Thank you Henry very much for putting this together for our neighbors. I was unable to copy the pictures of the cameras onto the blog, but I am sure there is enough information here for them to get the idea.
