Thank you! One followup question: is there any benefit to running the cameras on their own network? I mean, literally, running copper to the cameras to own router which is connect to the DVR, whereas the rest of the house would be on its own network? I could then connect the DVR also to the...

That's a really good point. I would want the cameras to record around the house, as well as in several locations inside. Because this would be full security, I imagine I would want continuous recording rather than motion based for greatest reliability. If it were continuous recording, could I...
