As far as using only 2 cameras, I have a technical background, as I think I mentioned. I still have a registered version of AutoCAD 2002, which still works on my Win 7 PC here. I had a drawing of this house and lot, from 2004, that I used to plan it on the lot. I just took it and made a few...

I'm a little confused by what you're saying. This is what they call a UBC modular ( Universal Building Codes ) and is mounted on a regular foundation, not a skirt. So cables would have to go from the eaves where the cameras are mounted, down inside the walls, and then down through the insulation...

OK, let's work backwards then. How many decent quality ( highly rated ) cams can I get with a DVR for around $300? Because I'm still gonna have to pay someone to install them for me.

Why is it so highly rated?

Well if I could afford 8 cameras for that $300 price, I would.

Is this something like you're talking about?: http://www.amazon.com/Amcrest-960H-Video-Security-System/dp/B00PMEG8YQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1440632482&sr=1-2&keywords=DVR+surveillance

Ok, not quite sure yet, how, but...they have diagrams in the instructions? So what's a good system for not much money, for doing this? Several cameras, a DVR, and do they usually come with cable or do you just add that? Should I look for full HD 1080p? I want to be able to ID the fools for the...

But then we'd have to run ethernet to where? If we want a DVR in the house, with additional access on the PC, does the ethernet go to the DVR or...? And can it be daisy chained, or do you need a separate cable to the central point, for each camera?

POE? I'm not familiar with that terminology yet. ...OK, just looked it up - power over ethernet. So you have to run ethernet cables all around. I dunno. Not good either way. We have a modular house on a foundation, but it has plastic sheet and insulation underneath, so not great either way. But...

Here's my question: If you use wireless, they still have to have power run to them. Where does that come from? Someone needs to run wiring inside the eaves? And I definitely want to get something wireless, that has sound - standard, AND can save the video inside the house, to a DVR. What's a...

We are two sisters living at opposite ends of a long UBC modular house ( on a regular foundation ) in the Denver area. Someone has been harassing us at night, now. A few nights ago, after 1 AM when the lights were out, my sister heard a couple of guys laughing loudly outside her window. Then...
