    home secerity camera input needed

    i have no idea where this thread would belong. anyways heres what i need. i have a pretty small home and need some cameras set up. many reasons it is kinda a bad hood theft does happen and well i just want/need things to be recorded. i really only need cameras in the front the house (2-6) will be plenty. i prefer wireless so i dont have to run cables all over the place. needs to be night vision and be able to show a clear enough picture from 15 feet away to identify someone. i dont know much about hooking them to my pc but i would prefer them hooked and saving to the pc vs a dvr device. looking to spend under 300$ if i can. pretty much just need to see the front my house and street at night we do have plenty street light. if cheaper id like it to rec on pc since i have tons of hd space that needs to be used. any way i could watch this on an android smartphone would be a huge bonus.

    For 300 you will only be able to afford some terrible cameras and not get many features you want. I doubt youll even be able to tell a specific persons face from more than 10' away and in the right lighting conditions. Light on the street is actually a bad thing for you with the cameras. All you will be able to see at night is what is in the area of light and all the rest will be black, or you will be able to see a little bit into the dark and all the lit area will be totally white and unable to see anything. If you want to see stuff properly you have to dish out some money, cheap image sensors, lenses, and software wont get you very far.
