I have just purchased the 4 camera security system for my father.  I am not very techy and i am ordering an internet modem for him.  His company is telling me that the 10 MBPS would be good enough for this system.  What is your advice?

10Mbps is fine as long as there's not a lot else going on. However the real spec yyou need to ask about is the UPLOAD speed since ISPs like to quote the fast download speed while making you suffer with slow uploads. Since the cameras are uploading, you need a minimum of 1Mbps- more is better if there are multiple cameras that could record at the same time.
