Thanks guys. I went with the VN248Q-P . I think it will serve my needs pretty well and be clear enough to make me happy. I keep telling myself I probably wont even use the monitor - just view on my phone- but something tells me this is incorrect! Especially if I am home and something gets...

Thanks,...instead of spending the past 2 hours learning about IP cameras,...I spent the last 2 hours watching prank videos on Youtube. :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Just curious looney2ns,....why? (I did realize it was the same you recommended earlier,...but I didn't realize it until after I changed the size for budget reasons!) But they seem almost identical but door #2 a bit cheaper and has that DVI port. Definitely Not trying to over analyze monitors...

I am beyond a beginner due to my lack of any camera or networking knowledge, but I bought this PoE switch. I believe it is a managed switch. Unmanaged switches are apparently "easier" to deal with,...but I was told managed is the same thing if you don't try to play with the added features...

I have heard that as long as I go with a 1080p monitor or TV I am pretty much good to go. Even had some decent monitors recommended but I'd like to keep the $ down as much as possible since it will mainly be used for setup,... although who knows I may enjoy looking back at triggers etc on...

HAHA Yup! I was in the process of figuring out my Comcast Modem/router combo and had router on my mind! My fault. Thanks looney!

I just bought the same router (Edit-NOT Router but NVR)!!! without the ports for $265 from Andy. I believe he quoted me $320 for the 5216 WITH the ports.

Brutal! LOL

Man you guys got me thinking twice again!!!! :banghead:

I do remember you saying that fenderman,..and trust me I believe you 100%. But I just bought the NVR to plug some cable in and concentrate more on learning the basics. I doubt I'll even use every feature on the NVR by the time I decide to go BI (Probably this time next year!)

After paying $265 for the NVR and $240 for 2 HDD's I'd have to agree it is more cost effective to go BI. I am sure I will eventually regret going the NVR route,...but for now I think I can live without all the extra benefits of BI. More optionsisn't really an option for me with my limited (lack...

Too late now Philip! Just placed my order with Andy. But mat200 still liking his NVR gives me some relief! I know both BI and NVR will take some time to learn,...and granted I don't know one end from the other,...but BI just intimidated me!. Plus I was in no mood to research PC's and take the...

Absolutely! Ill just run a looooong cat6 from my upstairs down to the garage to the switch then hook the cameras up to the switch. It's a possibility I'll have some cables fished through the walls by then but I wont drill holes until I am positive of the placement. With day/night and different...

PoE switch and 2 4tb Puprle HDD's ordered!. Waiting on my invoice form Andy.

Thanks Penguin,...now I am definitely going with it.
