You should have a monitor connected to the NVR, like all electronic equipment it goes wrong occasionally so the monitor is the best/easiest  way you can tell if its on and working properly. 5 Days using Motion detect depending on how much motion seen on the camera 2TB/3TB HDD I would recommend the Western Digital purple range. If you go down the the IP route you could use a POE switch, a decent one would set you back £80.00. You then have to decide on which NVR and which cameras.

I rate the Hikvision and Dahua Cameras I wouldnt buy them from Ebay the Chinese are very good at copying cameras and unless you know what you're buying and who from you can easily be burned, around £140.00 per cam from a reputable retailer is about right. Then you just have to choose a NVR. I have heard some great things about the Hikvision NVR. I have my own Hybrid DVR/NVR so dont use any branded recorders (I do use budget ones on occasion horses for courses) The above will break your budget

 

The alternative recomendation is Security Warehouse HDSDI kit this would come in under budget

 

All CCTV has smartphone facilities nowadays

But I don't see how any of this will be good for anpr?

Or was it just for visiually trying to read it?

Thanks peter for the info are there any reputable hik dealers in the west midlands ? Will take a look at the security warehouse system , just need to read the number plate and see a face at around 20 metres max more like 10 metres should be ok
