Hello mike,

You seem to be the only one with extensive security knowledge on this forum.

Can you please respond to my queries asap so I can either buy or exchange the cameras and dvr I bought before the installation guy comes tomorrow morning.

I dont mind installing redundant systems to cover the first one. Please tell me how to do it.

You mentioned in a different thread about phone line with seizure, fob. What are they.

Please check the tech specs of the 4 pack camera system I bought on this link and let me know if they are good enough or if it is better to upgrade. I have another 10 days to return or exchange the camera pack and dvr in the retail store.

Click on the CCTV Professional 4 camera pack for tech specs in this link for the cameras I bought.

questions about cameras:

Let me know if I should upgrade to the other cameras in the link above. The cameras I bought have vari focal lens 3.5mm to 8 mm and one fixed 4mm lens on C-500R camera set ( you said 4mm- 9mm is good)

1/4" CCD image sensor (you said 3/8 is good, should I upgrade to a 3/8 image sensor) IR-led 12 pcs BNC connectors

My apartment is just a studio of 13X17 ft with one door and two windows. I currently have two motion sensors in the door alarm system as well as a cell backup package.

Do you think I need zoom lens for my cameras and if so, can I buy them later and install them on the existing cameras.

You recommended X-10 feature on Visionix Powermax. Would that help me any way in my security setup.

Link for the DVRs below but unfortunately the DVR I bought is not listed on the website.

You said to stay away from wavelet compression format. My DVR box says MPEG-4 compression format and I guess I am fine there.

Would it make any difference between a 4 channel DVR and a 8 Channel DVR for my situation.

TIA for your response.
