Help! Security camera system for 3 story multi-unit apartment building needed. Pls recommend

Sep 24, 2005 2 Replies

I have a 3-story multi-unit apartment building, each floor is about 60 feet wide and 120 feet long. I need to put at least 4 cameras security system, hopefully 6-8 if costs not high. I also like to be able to see via Internet from my own home (100 kms away). I suffer some vandalism e.g. someone punching holes in the wall, so hopefully the cameras are not fragile. but low cost and be able to function through walls up to



150 feet is my priority. I prefer wireless if not too expensive and if they works.


(I tried X10 system which claimed to work up to 100 feet including barriers. but it did not work for 20 feet if there is a wall.)



I look for costs hopefully around $1000. I am near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. thanks ahead


If you're looking at capturing images the police will be able to use to counter the vandalism you're experiencing, you won't get anything worthwhile for the $1000.00 budget you're on (unless they're cameras you've picked up at auction somewhere). You're going to need to determine your priorities (i.e. how much you'll save with a proper camera system versus how much you'll spend on repairs).
