Hey Guys,

I was looking into purchasing a home security systems to monitor my property. I travel a lot for work, so I am not around a lot and I want to be able to access my cameras from wherever work takes me. Does anybody have any suggestions on these types of systems?

Thanks,
Julia

Well, since you dropped a link to a site that sells alarms and security cameras in another post, I would think you already know the answer.

Tsk Tsk, Julia.

Julia is probably a 300 pound guy with a hairy back wearing nothing but his shorts sitting in front of a computer with a list of URL's in front of him. He needs to spend all day dropping those links onto sites around the net in order to get paid.

Jeez, how can I find a lucrative job like that and get rich too?

I recommend that people check out Costco and consider buying a 4 camera monitoring system with a DVR recorder that can also be remotely accessed. It is only $299. Costco gives a three year warranty.

For that price why risk dealing with a faceless link dropper?

I have that system. The coolest thing it's done so far is capture our vehicles shaking when the east coast quake happened. The system was well worth the money. I can view the cams live from my iphone when I'm out and about. From my laptop I can access the DVR and search previously recorded events whenever I have wifi, which is mostly everywhere since my phone has tethering.

I'm really glad I don't have to worry about such nonsense. Hell, my doors are unlocked right now.

Ah, country living...

Yeah well get robbed a couple of times. You'll see how quickly your definition of nonsense flies out the window.
