When we were finally able to get the second installer to come in (after him cancelling several times, playing phone tag and figuring out when I am able to be at home for him to do his thing) he had to do his own site visit to figure out where to put the damn camera. He explained he had experience installing these cameras in new houses but was flummoxed at the idea of installing one in an older home.
He finally came up with something that would work, which was no small feat, because not only do you need to have wires running from the camera to the dvr, but you also need the dvr to connect to the internet. Ideally, you'd have the dvr connected to the monitor on your computer that is next to your internet connection, but you have to have a separate monitor just for the DVR (pauses for breath)
He informs us that we can install the DVR to a flat screen tv. So we spend over a grand and buy a nice flat screen tv, a bit disgruntled but figuring that the tv needed to be upgraded eventually, and wait anxiously for him to come back to install our camera system. Little did we know what the future held: wires all over the place, holes in the walls, and the crazy making is just getting started.
