[QUOTE="EhlerDave, post: 3044895, member: 2564"] [B]The elcheapo one I use allows for "timed recording" or "cover shots". On the timed part you can set the DVR to not record on any camera at any given time, so if you want to do anything in the yard you dont want recorded you just set the timer. :) So if you plan on being out and do not want recorded on Saturday morning from 9am until 1pm you just set the timer, or any time as you want. The cover shots, you just take a snapshot with the camera and can place it over an area that you do not want recorded, but the rest of the picture will be. The DVR will just record over old footage, so having them run 24/7 is not a big deal. I just saved some night vids from mine so the sheriff can come look at the guy and if they want they can have a copy. It is simple just stick a flash drive in and select the part you want and click save with the mouse. Now I have a copy in the computer and still on the flash drive. The system I an on now was a whopping $99 and will run 8 cameras, it came with 4. My other system had a power surge sent into it after 4 years of use and it no longer functions, the surge took out several items. Oh this did not come with a HDD, but had everything else in the kit to set up 4 cameras. A set of 4 cameras of higher quality and the lines, power supply and mounting can be had for about $75. Or complete 8 camera system for as little as $200 to what ever you feel like spedning. Mine works fine and even at night they do all I need. [/B] [/QUOTE]
