Hello,
I'm in the market for upgrading my 4 first alert analog cameras to an NVR system with IP camera's for my home. I need 4 outdoor camera's, but want a 8 camera NVR in case i decide to add more. Theres just so many different quality's of camera's such as mega pixels ect. i'm just not quit sure what is best for me. I just want something stationary with good day and night quality. Any help is appreciated!
