wyndaff Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 First post so please be gentle. Had 4 IP cameras running but they have all died now. Looking to get an 8 camera DVR setup. I have specific requirements. 2 outdoor cameras, 6 indoor, power and signal in 1 lead, 1 month DVR recording, some cameras on motion some on permenant, various lighting conditions(day/night), easy to operate DVR with burn option, oh and it has to have a really good image quality. I have a HNC in electrical engineering so will be doing the install myself Is there a web site that has all this equipment on, and is there anything else I should look into many thanks Wyn Jones
Chorlton Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Hello & welcome Wyn CCTV is like cars, all take you from A to B but huge difference in what you get from Kia, Ford, Audi or Bently. Do you have a budget as you could spend 5-50K to get you from A-B. Let us know if the budget is equipment only for DIY install or what you expect a pro to supply & fit for. The more info we get the more advice (sometimes too much) you will get back. C.
wyndaff Posted September 11, 2008 Author Posted September 11, 2008 Chorlton that has to be the fastest reply ever. The 'budget ' is around
satsuma01 Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 i would also add that if you have never done a cctv install before professionally then my advice would be get a pro to quote it, as there is more to cctv camera setup than just throwing a load ofcables round the property.

Wooly-bobs Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Get a few proper quotes in, it may not be as expensive as you think. Buying DIY kit is all very well initially, be prepared to buy it again in a few years time. Look at leasing the system over a few years if your situation allows it. You only get what you pay for,
