I have 13 Ubiquity Unify cams (old 720p) that are to old to use with the free Unify software.
Got them working 100% with Zoneminder running on Linux (CentOS7).
Access through webpage and can view multiple cams at once + set to record on motion.
Picked up the cams for about R 100 each and used an old Core2duo with 320gb SATA for boot and 4TB SATA for storage.
Cable was the only thing I had to buy new and install.
To keep costs down I have clusters of 4/5 cams connected to 8 port switches which in turn connect back to main switch in cab.
As the cams don't have ir lighting I have several flood lights around the property connected to motion detectors.

If it goes over into a neigbours yard, forget the bylaws, your neighbour might moer you for spying on his wife. I'm assuming you mean into the street maybe? I don't think anybody would care, you could argue its like planting a tree and the branches stick out over the boundary. Just do it, if somebody complains and you get threatened with a fine, then take it down.
What did this setup cost you?

Doubt it, also, I think your neighbours will appreciate the added security.
How much did you pay for the camera's? Is the picture quality good?

You can view main stream remotely as well.
Also have a Kguard hd thing, I use it for when random noises wake me, for when kids get hurt (to see what happened), to view after the fact when robberies and such are attempted and so on.

Good advice for those with the required budgets yes.

No it's not me, but this other guy that thinks he runs the shows in the neighbourhood (the big bad bully) has an arm extending out of the pole that is in his yard, and on this arm, are cameras that protrudes into municipal space, and therefore, not on his own ERF or behind his boundary. Is that legal?
Trees on the other hand are natural and can be trimmed whereas his pole and metal arms from the pole can't be trimmed.

What is the best way to broadcast the HDMI signals from my 2 DVRs to a TV screen where one could then just select the HDMI source to switch between the displays? Wired LAN available. the DVRs are at front and back side of house, the TV in the middle.

Does it bother you?

I am using HDMI to CAT5 converters partly due to distance between my NVR and TV's and partly due to it being easier and cheaper to run CAT5 than HDMI cable. The HDMI converters can be expensive though but work very well.
