Question on security cameras

I wasn't exactly sure where to post this but since it is for a MFP, I figured I would start here.

I am giving consideration to installing cameras on the exterior of the property to monitor the front door, side entrance, back yard and front yard.

Has anyone installed these? If so, what are some recommended brands/costs? Also...did you install yourself or have it professionally installed?

Thank you for all your opinions!!

@John D., I went with these cameras. PoE means "power over ethernet". So they only need the one wire and both data and power goes over it. And ethernet is easy to crimp. So the electrician was able to pull the wires without plugs on to make smaller holes, then crimp the ends on after the wire is in place. If you go that route, though, you have to make sure to either get a PoE capable DVR or a PoE switch.
