I am thinking of putting a CCTV system for myself in my home. Of course I am not a rich guy so the ideal system is affordable ( for me - with my salary ehem ).
What I need to consider first is the size or area of my house. Then I need to consider how many security holes that I have. Like doors, windows, or any other way that a person can easily enter my house. Then I need to consider the level of security that I want. Do I need to monitor every activity? Do I need to monitor all the person and what they do?
In my case I just want to monitor who goes in and out the door and recorded video of who passes the windows during burglary.
I remember visiting one of my old client many years ago. The thief penetrated to his house by cutting a thick steel bar gate. Passive security does not work properly nowadays.

Analog or IP. Here we go again. It is really cheap to buy a simple analog and run to your own TV. Then turn it on when you want to check a place in your house. A very cheap solution not utilized by many homeowners. This one camera is better than you going down and take the risk. A four ca,era with DVR will be around 400 to 1000 USD which is not bad at all also. Contrary to what others say, this systems are pretty stable.
Another thing you can do is IP.
