I am in the process of designing a new house, and I want to incorporate a video surveillance system. I know absolutely NOTHING about these systems, and a google search shows everything from popular consumer brands like d-link, with single-camera products, to no-name (to me) brands that offer multi camera packages.
I'd like to do something on a small scale for the next year in my current home, and that would mean a wireless system. For the new build, I would not be limited since I can run CAT6 or coax anywhere. Ideally, I would get something now with 2 or 3 indoor / outdoor cameras that would scale for the new build.
Other features of interest:
Hopefully this is the right place to post this. I know we are all focused on home theaters and entertainment here, but this seems like something some of you might have experience with.
Thanks!

Other features of interest:
- Local Recording (not to on-board storage, but rather my hame server or NAS)
- Remote monitoring of live feed
- Local monitoring of live feed
- Motion detection
- Good night vision performance
- Decent range/optical zoom
- Audio integration, maybe, but that's not critical to me, especially if I mount the camera pretty far away from what I'm surveilling.
