I have to protect a meat cutting building, a cattle barn, and a machinery storage barn. Cutting building is 35 ft by 100 ft. I need capacity for about 14 outdoor cameras, 4 indoor cameras, 3 door switches, 5 meat cooler temperature alarm monitors. I need the system to alert me by phone if an intruder comes. I need to ge able to activate an alarm by phone. also need to be alerted if incoming power fails. Don t need a lot of recording capacity. I need quality components that will be reliable

I'll do that. Choosing hardware is very confusing to a novice.
 
To even start to help a site plan/sketch showing distances between buildings, specific areas of interest and interior layout sketches/pictures are needed.

You need to determine exactly what you want to accomplish with video surveillance. That will govern how many and what type of cameras will be needed. It will also determine what lens size, focal length, is needed. General lighting conditions, especially at night if you want effective night video, s very important in camera/lens selection. Unfortunately, there is no "plug and play" or "kit/package" solution to achieve good video surveillance.

I kind of saw that when I went on Amazon to lorry ok for security camera systems. We're in the country so its dark at night. What I primarily need is intrusion notification in real time so I can respond by triggering a alarm and then come to the farm. My house is a half mile away. Additionally, I need to know immediately if the power fails or a refrigeration system stops working
 
Power failure and refrigeration failure are separate problems. You could use a camera focused on refrigeration gauges/indicators for a monitor. Power failure will require a significant UPS to mitigate the power failure and send the notifications. With a half mile of distance between you and the site you'll need an encrypted dedicated RF link to handle the video feeds. That's one of the reasons I asked about a site plan. Is there a clear line of site between the two locations, even is it's at rooftop heights?

House is up a hill and behind a patch of timber . Have internet via dsl line to the cutting building. Any communication cotta goby phone. We have emergency generators on site. Power outage should be no more than 1hour duration. There are dedicated cooler monitoring systems that canalert by text and phone,. I'd like one system only, but not a deal breaker. I should add one more requirement--Ease of use. As you can tell I'm not tech savvy. We can string pipe, run wire, and mount components, but that's as far as our electronic ability goes
 
What speed is the DSL at the cutting building and what is the internet speed at the house?
 
Net thing is how many cameras, total, so the bandwidth requirement can be calculated/approximated.

Google earth can be quite good for providing overview pictures of the layout, buildings from different angles etc.
