Default home security system

Well we had the old suburban broken into and the womans expensive nitro r/c truck stolen a cpl weeks ago. So i bought an ebay 8 camera dvr system for the house. 4 cams out front, and 4 out back. The dvr is on the home network so she can turn on the tv and see the kids playing in the yard. This has motion detection, infrared, and is a killer system for the $180 i paid for it. Comes with the dvr unit, 8 cameras, 8 mounts, and 8 x 20 meter cables. Hard drive not included, that was $70 for a seagate brand 1TB 7200rpm drive. Holds around 25 days of footage when motion detect is enabled. Very easy to use, and we can log into it from our smartphones too. I really reccomend it.

That's great... where the hell is the link.
I've had people try to break into CB a few times & I'd LOVE to get them on camera.
Not just or for the cops, but maybe I know who they are & can find them hehehehe.
I almost slept in my blazer a couple years back after I realized someone tried to get into it. I was going to sleep in the back seats with Theo & Louis. Theo is my rotti/bull mastiff of 135lbs that can jump to the top of a 6' fence & over in 1.8 seconds (no fat, all muscle) & Louis is my well loved Louisville Slugger!
OK dude/s ... I let go of one to call the cops... (Louis in one hand & Theo freaking out on a leash on the other) - you choose which one. Man I was pissed off, I felt so violated & taken for granted.

Im still teaching myself how to use it, instructions are written in "chinglish" and not too in depth. Image quality is pretty good, resolution is 10XX x 780 ish - pretty good. Ill post screen shots when i get this networking thing figured out.
