I need your recommendations

I'm going to put up some security cameras. More than likely wired but I would also try wireless. These will be outside on the house and monitoring the doorways. I need some recommendations for some setups. Either recording to VCR or computer. B/W or color it wouldn't matter as long as it has a decent picture.

TIA

This is what I do for a living.

PM me and I can hook you up with cameras, DVR, cable, mounts, etc. (We don't install, but it's a decent DIY.)

Just let me know what you're looking for.

Dunno what your wholesale options are through work (might be able to pick these up cheap

)....but Linksys/Cisco recently did a new small business grade camera setup, the WVC200, has an admin panel to monitor a bunch of them.
