If its single story you should be able to do the wiring post handover. Dont bother with analogue cameras, run Cat6 cable to where you want each camera and then buy a good 2MP-3MP IP Camera, if you get a POE switch you can power the camera off the same cat6 cable. If you hunt around you should be able to get Hikvision 3MP cameras for about $150 if you grey import them from china, locally they retail for about $260.

Otherwise get it done pre. Also you don't need a POE switch if your NVR has POE. Get pOE IP cameras for sure. Get all the cables terminated where you will keep your NVR. Ours is in a linen closet.

Re: CCTV for Home Security 5Sep 26, 2015 12:06 am For a more straight forward installation free of any potential issues, pre-cabling is advised. I recommend getting your pre cabling done by the person who will be installing the cameras, it can result in a neater installation afterward. If it is a double story house, pre-cabling is highly recommended.
