This always seems to be a catch22 with the getting free stuff from shutterfly. They give you an introductory little bit of credit, then they bombard you with 200 emails a day asking you to do more business with them. I liked the pictures I got from them before, but I get emails from them all the time. I have set up a filter they got so annoying.

Got this as a back up battery for my drone, hardly use it, but when I do it is nice to have that much extra flying time. If you have one of these, you may not know, but you can use it with the charger as a back up battery / charging device. If you're in need of a charge on your phone or the camera itself. It works really well!

Fly your GoPro drone confidently with these Karma propellers. Their design makes these propellers highly efficient, giving you smoother, quieter flight than standard propellers. Use this pack of two clockwise and two counterclockwise Karma propellers as a replacement kit for your Karma drone, and install them easily with the color-coded guide.

They work! They actually work! I crashed the living bajeezus out of my drone. And lo and behold, these fit as replacements for the ones I broke. I mean, I couldn't believe they fit! Go pro is legit.

I got this for a display port to HDMI (obviously), but I wish they would either make display ports on monitors, or quick making video cards with display ports. It is essentially the same size and shape as an HDMI. This thing works for that though..... and it does its job well.... displaying things and such.

Can't go wrong with this monitor, Acer is a solid brand and makes great stuff. It is relatively cheap compared to the rest of them there.

These speakers are legit. I have the matching ones in the front that are not the coax ones. I got these coax versions for the rear doors, and it sounds great. Can't go wrong with Alpine.

If you want to look super basic in front of group, whip this puppy out! For an even more basic set up, grab yourself a Star bucks and go to town with your phone on a stick! Nothing catches the best vistas and panorama shots like this thing. No more having to ask people to take pictures of you, you can do it all yourself with this!

Spot unusual activity in your home or business with this eight-channel Night Owl video security system. It comes with four 1080p cameras with motion-activated recording and 100-foot night vision to provide clear footage in Full HD. This Night Owl video security system has 1TB of hard drive storage and is expandable up to 4TB.
 

Can I use the wires from an existing inoperable security system to connect these cameras?

You should be able to, assuming they are BNC cables that are HD(1080p) ready. Which they should be... I used some 3rd party cheap cables as extensions to elongate the cables to reach further, and I didn't have any problems. I wouldn't use ones that are more than 10ish years old though.

Night Owl AHD Security Bullet Cameras: Watch over your property in striking 720p resolution with these cameras, which capture crisp footage to save to your Night Owl AHD-Series DVR (not included) and feature IR night vision for a clear view at up to 100'.
 

Can i hook to a t.v. monitor?

yes, there are two options for viewing the cameras this way: VGA and HDMI. As long as you have a TV / Monitor with one of those connections, you should be able to view them via live feed, access menus, etc.

What kind of router do I need to plug these cameras in? Can I just use any router? I don't need to record just need to be able to see what's coming and going

You plug the cameras in the DVR, and the DVR connects to a router. Also, yes, you can connect it to any router, as long as you have internet access going to it, you should be able to access the cameras remotely via phone app / desktop app.

Is there any way to both plug the camera cord into battery operated power as well as electrical outlet just in case home electricity goes off?

Yes, just get a back up battery. They might run ya around 50 to 100 bucks. It is worth it, but if the power goes out, don't expect everything to run for very long unless you spend a lot of money on the back up battery. They are great to have on all your network equipment though. I highly recommend one dedicated to your camera system. The battery will only kick on if no AC power is going to the unit.

Keep your Wi-Fi connection strong anywhere in the house with this NETGEAR router. Monitor your network with the NETGEAR genie app, keep track of your kids with parental controls, and use multiple devices simultaneously for downloading, gaming and more
 

I have a home phone but no internet do i have to have internet to use this router first

Well the sole purpose of a "Router" is to route the internet. So if you have no internet service there is no need for a router.
