Simply put, just go online, search for the appropriate shops, and choose the right kind, and click buy. These sites have competitive prices; a few may even offer discounts and freebies at certain times of the year.

As with any other thing, it is best to shop around a little. Do not stick to one website. There indeed are a couple that has very attractive stocks and inexpensive enough prices. But often the same things can be seen in another website at a lower price or with a better premium. Reading reviews could also help a lot in order to understand technical lingo such as those in the specifications.

Another thing to consider are you state’s laws. As mentioned above, there are some cameras that are able to record both audio and video. However, it is a federal offense to covertly record audio. It is better to check first with a lawyer or someone knowledgeable in these things before installing the devices in order to avoid getting in trouble. If you are going to use it for business as employee surveillance, have a talk first with your employee’s union (if there is one) before set up.
