I'm gonna be going down this path pretty soon. Being the network nerd that I am, I prefer IP cams, but....$$$$$ Having said that, I refuse to buy something where I can't make out a fuckin' license plate if needed, or I can't see sh!t @ night. Sooo many options to consider...PC or appliance based DVR...IP Cam or no...etc..etc..Plus I plan on doing home automation at some point so everything will talk together at some level. Subscribed...for giggles.
