The cost of basic CCTV is:-

Your privacy - basic systems are likely to be hacked or have known exploits, have no maintenance or software updates going forward. - £40

Your internet - hacked systems generally become part of a botnet where they use all your bandwidth and grind your internet speed to nothing. - £40

Your electricity - Fancy mining bitcoins for someone else? Even if your system isn't exploited to mine bitcoins, what use is basic when you need to use it in evidence. - £40

Your time - it's likely DIY or basic CCTV will fail and have no support. - £40

Your money - you could have put that towards something that would be useful in an event. Many people have gone basic and regretted it after an event. - £40

I do installs with 4 hd cameras and 1tb hard drive in dvr for around £200 total

Using what?

Plus what use is a 1Tb drive with 4 cameras unless using very low bitrates?

Also the cameras I have at home cost me £120 +vat each

Catnic,

 

Large domestic garage, sub wanted camera within the reveal of the opening (upvc cladded) a mere 3" between no signal & full signal

todays install CCTV with proper analytic notification its the future 

[whistle]

We recently upgraded a bargain booze shop and fitted the 2mp Hik tvi cameras as the coax was already in place.

i paid £xxx per camera and charged more than Logan’s full install per camera to swap them over.

 

When will these lot stop working for peanuts.

 

No trade prices in public please Andy

I use sannce 4 camera kit.

The fixed root password has been leaked on Sannce kit, give it a month or so and it will fuel the botnets.

Ouch, I hate that sort of timewaster, like the time the subs (obscure) router was only dishing out DCHP DNS to phones and PCs but would hand out an address to the DVR giving the illusion all was well but cloud wouldn't work, and it wasn't obvious why...

Ouch 2, not as bad as that apalling piece of crap cybergibbons managed to get his hands on, where editing the cookies got you past the pw in the rare case it hadn't been changed!!

Thompson routers are normally problem jobs

 

I've got also sky one where the DNS just stops working,  naturally it f'kin miles away
