I have been reading through the Wiki and realize it's a long road ahead if I want to have the security camera system I envision. My main reason to build / purchase such a system is for a greater sense of security for my wife and children.
For those who have had security cameras for a while, did you find that your sense of security increased? Or did they have the opposite effect? What things gave you the greatest sense of security?
I live in a low-crime area. Our neighborhood's biggest problem is car prowls and we keep both cars in the garage. The purpose of the camera would be alerting me to an intruder outside before they came in and helping identify any potential criminals after the fact.
