Default Security Cameras

Anyone know a good affordable place we can get security cameras for our house? Or an installer? Any info would be great as this is a bit of a priority for us.
Thanks

Not sure if they're a good price but I remember a few weeks ago Costco had a very impressive looking full home setup for around 700 dollars. The website starts off expensive but near the bottom there are nice looking kits for 500ish dollars.

Costco has a few different systems online that I have been eying.

I went to a few commercial installers and they wanted thousands to install what is offered at Costco for $300.

For residential, all you really need are some dropcam's.

They are HD quality and the video footage is stored on the cloud so even if the camera is stolen, you still have the footage.

Default Security Cameras

I know Costco always sells great home security cameras with multiple cameras, and as far as I know they are a DIY kind of application from them. Maybe worth checking out

I know someone else that does installs I'll try and get his name and number and post as soon as I get it.

Some people use these for viewing their tanks while out of town too, which is sweet!

FOSCAM canada has good selection of cheaper cameras that you can access through internet and has several different platforms for android or apple devices. I bought the F9821W for my tank and its pretty awesome. Camera cost me around $120, pretty easy set up. Check it out.

I bought three Foscams myself. The pan-tilt one works pretty good but the software REALLY sucks for them. Each device comes with its own dynamically updated URL and the video quality is decent.
