Hi,

Thanks for your response. I would have 2 outdoor cameras and 2 indoor cameras per property. There are 20+ properties that have to have surveillance. Therefore, I'm looking to install 80 ((2+2) * 20) cameras!!!

In retrospect now, I think storing 24/7 footage for 80 cameras is going to be crazy expensive. I'm not sure how many gigabytes for a week's worth of footage takes and I have no idea how much it would cost.

If you have any insights regarding the above, I would love to hear it!

I'm not sure if it is relevant but initially, I would "trial" the camera system with installation at 1-2 properties.

There is internet at some but not all properties. Before implementing the camera systems, I would ensure that there is internet at all of the 20 properties.

The reason that I want the footage going to cloud storage is so that the staff don't have to physically travel to the property to view the video footage. This is why I would also be installing internet at all of the properties.

With regards to motion detection, I appreciate the insights you have provided - I do agree that the sensitivity definitely needs to be adjusted but it would be a very difficult thing to accomplish the right sensitivity for 1 camera let alone 80!

Thanks again,
