What is the general installation cost for a home monitoring system?

Q. 5 cameras for a 2 story home. 2 exterior and 3 interior cameras.

A. Wireless cameras from trendnet are about $150, I would recommend those for the exterior and run ethernet cable to the others unless you can run ethernet to all of them. Then you can access all cameras from a computer on your home network or even have them set up to view away from home. The good thing about POE cameras is you don't need to run power to them, they get their power over the ethernet line.

If you get the wired ones they are cheaper, and you would just need to make sure they aren't exposed to direct rain and they will work and are about half the price of one designed for exterior use.

Also if you put a pan and tilt one on a corner outside it may do the job of 2, another way to save $$.

Who can rewire my homes exterior?

Q. I'm trying to fix up my home and one of the things I'd like to see done is have the exterior wiring redone. I've searched online but can only find information on rewiring the electrical. The wiring I'm talking about is the wiring used for cable, internet, and phone that runs along the exterior of the house. There have been so many cable and phone and internet companies that add wires, leave old existing ones, then new companies come in and do the same. I'm wondering who I can call to clean up the wiring and remove old unused ones to make my home's exterior more aesthetically pleasing. Do I call a regular electrician or is there some type of specialist in this?
I know that I can go around and do that but I want a professional job where someone can come determine what goes where and what not. Cut the wires and patch up the inside. I'm busy and would rather tackle other things. I asked who can I call to do the job not how can I do the job. Thanks for trying to help though.

A. you could do it one line is active get rid of the rest

How can I sound proof my home.?

Q. I need to sound proof my home.
My exterior walls are brick.
My interior walls are drywall.
My roof is composition shingle.
They built an outdoor gun range by my house.

A. It is an expensive proposition to insulate against noise of this type. It is you who should complain and get them to move to a commercial area.

You have every right to peace and quiet enjoyment of your home. You should not consider moving.

Otherwise, you sue them and sue the government department that gave them the permit. The govt. department is supposed to send a notice to everyone in the neighborhood and should have held a public meeting to hear any objections. I do not think this was done.

Otherwise, get them to insulate your home to your specifications (call a sound engineer for specs) including the basement walls. The shock travels to your foundation too.

Your moving from there is not an option. (unless you hate the neighborhood etc.. and for various reasons you wanted to move - that's diff.)
