Hi All,

Requirements:

Office - Located on a corner location but has some lighting from the street lights. Needs to have visible cameras outside which can each cover 15 metres to cover each door. Two cameras inside but these need to be more covert (which will be used predominantly during the day - no night security needed inside)

Home - Need four cameras preferable not large and bodied prison style cameras!Need to be more discreet but semi visible. two overlooking the front drive away, under the eaves(ie placed just under the roofline) -fitted on each corner (one wide angle to cover the drive and the other narrow). Two overlooking the rear garden, under the eaves -fitted on each corner (one wide angle to cover the whole garden and the other to look on to the lengh of the house at the rear). Placing one more camera facing the door area at just below 1st floor height(under an eave facing down)

For both - Should be able to record onto a standalone dvr, view the recordings over the internet and also be able to watch through a number of TVs present.

My first question would have to be are you sure you have chosen the correct engineer for the job? If he knew what he was doing he would specify what he was going to use himself.

He has specified some of the above and the rest I have put togther, he is happy to install what I provide. If he were to specify he would charge for a 'whole' strat to finish job which would cost three time my budget!!

Running high res camera in to a rf modulator to be be displayed on a normal Tv ?

If so why use decent camera's you have specified, due to you wont see high res pictures on a normal Tv, put a proper video monitor in.

Im on a tight budget but want the best value for money and quality so med priced kit.

Why not wait a little while longer so the budget could be a bit more.

I agree

if this is how you wish to do it, my advise would be to use decent monitors locally with the dvr's so you can view the footage at a higher res if needed and make sure that the dvr's are capable of playback over lan as some are not, also stay away from wavlet compression if possible

oh and drop the alarm cable and use some good old fashion 16-2-2c

Hi, no that was my plan, to have a man monitoring station ie hook up an LCD to the DVR but to also have the abity to view through the other tvs in the house.

What are the advantages of good old fashion 16-2-2c over alarm cable?Does everyone use this?

Take a look at www.crime-seen.com. We have a brand new prodcut that may solve the DVR problem as it is 120fps USB management and DVR system to

an existing PC. We do small kits for this type of environment on a supply only basis. Let me know and I will send you details

i wouldn't personally trust a man who sells NTSC stuff in a country that uses PAL..

I notice the referrals page and manuals pages don't work and the online demo is "Comming soon" (Sic.)

Doesn't mean they aren't a decent company, I just worry when the internet presence is flaky.

I always worry about USB.

It drives me mad getting emails from CCTV manufacturers when they quite clearly have leeched my address from the site, tis why God invented ifsec.
