Here’s hoping there are people here who have knowledge about the best modern systems out there right now and would be willing to write a few lines to advise what to buy.
Looking for a system that has wireless capability, covers 16 zones now and expandable later, 2 outdoor video cameras, controllable from remote location with phone.
Oh and if possible supplier.
TIA
The best systems are from security company's like ADT or others, they can install your system and also monitor it for you.
The do it your self lines are rated in the link below.
And a good place to buy from.Code:http://www.toptenreviews.com/home/smart-home/best-home-surveillance-systems/
However one word of warning, the wireless camera systems can be hacked into and you can be watched by others,(yes kids it has been done) and those others may not be too friendly to your valuables.Code:https://www.cctvcamerapros.com/

But with that been said and if you're a bit of a do it your-selfer and like playing around with things..There are lots of systems available from E-Bay to Ali express and even your local electronic store for very reasonable prices.
You have a few options either a wired system or a Wi-Fi set up..Wiring up 16 cameras is a lot of cable and a lot of hassle but very reliable..Wi-Fi is easier maybe not quite as reliable or as secure but very do-able..You do need to plug each camera in to an electrical outlet for Wi Fi..And you can view either on your phone/computer/monitor.
Now if you wanted a camera that can pan around with your phone those would be separate cameras and you would do that with an app on your phone''
Professional systems are:
Honeywell Vista, DSC, G.E. Interlogix.
You can find monitoring on the net for 5 to 15 bucks a month.
I use a Telguard GMS radio. I still have to pay the Central station 4 bucks a month for digital, but I send it over the Telguard TG-1. that cost me anothr 7.95 U.S. a month.with arm & disarm via cellphone.
As for a camera system...Sams club or Cosco are not bad systems..
Monitoring cost are basicly dealer cost... I was in the busness at one time....very long ago... you can find resources on the net. equipment on the net... this is professional equipment the kind that ADT would use.
