Brandon and Sideshow Bob, I'm greatly appreciative of your offers! May I bake you my special Army of Darkness cookies in exchange for the DVR and the wire?

Brian, what excellent advice and suggestions! I had no idea there was such depth to the care and feeding of cable.

CavSct, that's a great idea. I'm going to do that. I've actually been fretting about camera placement.

brutal- would you believe that we don't own any type of gaming system or adapter? That being said, I've got friends that are also interested in setting up cameras, and they have the whole gaming thing down. I'm going to pass them what you've posted- it's valuable information. Thank you!
