Hard Drive Recorder Brands

[HoofHearted]

I'm looking to put in a Hard Drive CCTV recording system at our warehouse premises. I'm just looking for the popular brands.

I notice that Maplin are selling some Swann equipement. I wondered what the main brands are? And what might be a good website where I can see this sort of equipment?

Thanks,

Ian

They are, but to be honest, most places just want a letterhead, and they will sell you kit.

True.

Reminds me of the Rockford Files. Print your own bus card outside the shop/office/warehouse then walk in. Get introductory discount. Hoiked you in then throw you in the keep net. lol.

Now, where are my savings......

And any sap can print off a letterhead...

Going back to the DVR, SystemQ do a 300gb 4 camers unit for

They also do a 80GB one for considerably less, and a 1TB one for considerably more.

Horses for courses, didnt realise the op was after cheap. (didnt know we could quote trade prices either tbo)

Work out what you want to achieve, how many cameras you will need, day night, internal external cams etc. lighting? How long you need to record for before overwriting, remote viewing, and a whole lot more.

If you want a does everything for a ton out of a box good starter for a small business kit, try screwfix.

In my experience every business is different regardless of size as are their requirements.
