Remote Surveillance System

[zimagold]

A little out of my comfort zone. I have previously looked at in town small DVR or IP based cameras.

I am helping a friend find a camera surveillance/security system for a remote 500 acre ranch. The care taker of the property was hospitalized today, so the install will be this week. Need to order parts today (Overnight shipping) or pickup a stop gap at Sams Club / Home Depot / Costco etc. in the Denver Area.

Site:
- Located on the plains, good line of sight, few trees
- Fiber internet connection, service is being started this week with expected 20Mb Down / 5Mb Up. (Can go higher if needed)
- 6 or so out buildings (50/50 whether they have power)
- 2 roads have access

Expectations:
- View cameras remotely to check current status
- Record sufficient evidence in case of theft or vandalism (7 Days storage)
- Prefer remote upload of video and/or DVR options will be considered
- Need roughly 6 cameras for external coverage

Budget for above: $1-2k for initial hardware, will evaluate based on capability.

This will probably be supplemented with 1 or 2 trail cameras for high quality stills of any vehicles entering or existing property.

Any help narrowing options would be appreciated.

Edit: Response time in area can exceed 1 HR, just looking to generate evidence and discover when something has happened, no expectations of deter/stop activity.
