I am looking to purchase a home security camera system. I see you can buy kits with the camera DVR wiring ect. I am looking to spend 200-300. I'm not really concerned with apps for phones or anything like that I just want reliability with descent image quality. Most of the ones I see on Amazon have good and bad reviews. I don't mind piecing a system together. Some kits say they come with a security grade HDD but that does not tell me anything. I would prefer to have a wd purple HDD for reliability. So what do you guys use? Any CCTV installers out there that could give me recommendations on good brand names? Looking for a wired system. I know 200-300 is a very small amount of money in the CCTV world but it's all I have. I am looking for something with 4 cameras and a DVR with 8 camera upgradability. I don't mind piecing together a better system by buying a used DVR and buying a few cameras at a time. Looking for reliability as these cameras will be hard to get at 25' up.
