I appreciate the info. But this for nuns who a) have very limited funds and b) have way too much on their plate to deal with gadget overload.
Go to monoprice.com.
They have some <$100 cameras of excellent quality.
First, you want one with as many lines as possible, >500
And, as many Infrared LED’s as are available.
These cameras don’t come with the cabling or power supplies, but, they cost far less than what I have purchased through other companies.
