Here is a simple tip for anyone thinking of installing a home cctv system. Considered what will happen if someone steals your computer. Remember it doesn't matter how good the cameras are if you are using your home PC as the recorder as the chances are high that's going to be one of the things they take. You might not be using the home PC as a recorder but many do. Make sure your recorder will not be taken in any break in!

Good point CameraGimp...

Also PC's used as DVR's tend to be s***!

Cheap...

But s***!

We normally hide the dvr (in the attic etc) and use a wireless I.R extender to operate it, drop a lead down to a bedroom TV & the job is done without disturbing decor.

We find this works well in most domestic installations.

after reading this, how has the O/P got full trade?

Im sure this reply is giving the o/p constructive advice,give the guy some credit he is a qualified spark so i can't see it being beyond his skill level ,after all alot of the install is A-B connections and cable routing .The set up advice he can get off here,that is if he can be bothered searching through the sarky remarks.

Sometimes diy cctv can come in handy for people on a budget,i've got cctv installed through-out my house (voltek) it cost me about

Archives storage can be done remotely on Client side - another PC or Laptop. It is possible If PC is equiped with Server application and has permanent network connection. Client application should also have permanent network connection. Therfore even when PC at home where burglary was made will be stolen the proof of criminal activity will be recorded.

Geovision is good, but pricey, especially the higher end cards.

AVtech is budget, low end.

Dont expect any decent results without spending some good money, and either expect to spend a lot

of time learning, or money paying someone to get the best results.

I can vouch for Geovision as an end user only, I had it running on a dedicated PC running XP with static IP for 3 years 24.7 and it never let me down, the 400fps card is awesome but pricey
