Installing a New Video Surveillance System

[terracore]

I had a decent CCTV system until lightning hit a coco palm that was *near* the AV cable and fried the whole system, including the DVR unit and a GPU that was in my PC (the DVR and PC shared a monitor).

The replacement system is wireless and the cameras are powered by a standard USB cord. Three of the cameras are remote from the house and powered by mini DIY solar setups that also power motion activated security lights. So I'm not running cables everywhere.
