Thinking about getting a home surveillance system. Costco seems to have good prices on Lorex and Swann systems.
Anyone have a system? Comments would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting to learn about this stuff. I see it all the time at Costco as well.
I have a couple of Nest Cameras. They work well and the footage is stored in the cloud.
I have a Lorex camera. Really pleased with it. App is reliable and easy to use. The live stream is off by about 2 seconds. Image quality is great and you can nest up to 9 cameras.
I have a Q-See 8-cam 1080P system that I purchased from Costco just over 5 years. Picture quality is great, for the most part the system has been fairly reliable, other than a hard drive failure.
Last year I installed a Lorex 8-cam 1080P system at my parent's house. Picture quality is fantastic, the app works great. I purchased the system directly from Lorex Canada https://www.lorextechnology.com/?_requestid=1810741 They offer way more product choices, better pricing than Costco and also offer a 2 year warranty. Usually they have promo deals on their site for additional discounts.
Additional info,
-Go with a wired system (be it analog BNC cable or IP cable) for security and reliability.
-Get a system with more cameras, you will find areas to use them. I made this mistake with the first 4-cam system I purchased. Sold it a year later and went with an 8-cam system to cover all angles around the house and in the garage as well.
-Look for a system with 2TB + hard drive storage.
-Stick with a 2K 1080P system, picture quality is excellent. While 4K is nice, it's absolutely not needed and it eats up a ton of data.
Wired (Cat5/Cat5E) with a POE switch to a NAS, expandable with no need to have outlets at every camera...
Thinking of going with Lorex NVR system with active deterrence IP cameras... Canadian (Markham) company and 2 year warranty.
