Security camera system suggestions for 20 unit

[Grant Lin]

Has anyone had any good/bad experiences with security camera systems? I am looking to put in a new system and the prices I've been seeing on Amazon differ drastically. Any input or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Grant Lin I've had good experience with Everfocus systems. They are professional grade products that were installed by our low-voltage contractor, and have given years of reliable service.

I also self-installed a less expensive system by Swan on a smaller project recently. It has performed flawlessly for about a year now.

I highly recommend connecting them to the internet. That way it's easy to follow up on complaints and problems just with a click on your phone instead of going to the property.

The systems are really valuable. For instance, several winters ago a snow removal contractor presented a surprisingly high bill for weekend service (times when the property was not staffed). We were able to review archived footage and show that the times he reported being on property were drastically inflated.
