How do you peep~?~ Security camera quality

[NickSully]

Most of ours are in convienient stores. Hard drive compatibility, stability, and general hardware durability are lacking IMO. We went to Speco for their DVRs and haved had a problem with them. Also they are rather cheap for what they are capable of.

Thanks, I'll be sure to check them out.

I would need to know what make and model recorder you have to recommend a specific camera for you. Basically I would need the input type so I can match that with the output on the camera.

Mine is a Netrome Blackbox NS840

It uses RCA cables and 500ma 12 volt power from the system to each camera...the aftermarket cams can be converted using the F type coax to RCA conversion and using their own stand alone power source.

Here's a link to the info~!~ (after testing, this link actually takes you to a page that you scroll down to look for the NS840 model)
