I keep thinking about something like this. Was it a pain in the ass to install?

In a word, yes.

It was a morning of climbing around in the attic to run the wiring for the cameras. The DVR is in the top of the master closet and the monitor and mouse are on the computer desk in the living room so I had to get the wiring run between them. That added a couple of hours to the project.

It wasn't horrible, but it was a bit of a PITA.

I would do it again though. It hasn't caught a burglar yet, but it did help track down a missing book (left on top of a car), and find out what happened to a dog that mysteriously disappeared (DIL picked him up). It's also saved me countless trips to the front door. Since I know who is knocking, I know which kid to holler for.

I had a would be break in expert once. His knife was in the window when I got home and he was nowhere to be found. He sort of ran into a 95lbs baby who does not bark unless she wants to be petted or something is wrong. She also does not go more then 3 feet from my wife if I'm not home.
On a side note knife was jammed in the window frame right next to the lock behind her couch. My guess is he woke her up.

Cotton- VERY nice camera install! You have the cameras well placed and well focused, and obviously spent extra for quality equipment. Good job!

On a battery backup, too! So many people miss that part.
