Re: Recommend a CCTV package
If you only need one camera you could save a fortune by using a motion sensing Dash Cam.
You can get Full HD ones off the bay for £30.. Granted it doesn't go to HDD but goes to memory card.
Re: Recommend a CCTV package
Well one cam is the minimum .....a 2nd one would be useful for inside the house ....so a 2 cam package would be ideal

Re: Recommend a CCTV package
i like Hikvision for quality, like the look of arlo systems if you dont want to run cables
Re: Recommend a CCTV package
Surely you would have to run power cables even on a Wi-Fi system?

Yes you would and some dash cams come with moulded cigarette adaptors and others with a USB connector I would suggest going for the latter should you go down this route.
Re: Recommend a CCTV package
probably won't go for a dashcam as we need the ability to records.
Are swan a good make of camera?

Re: Recommend a CCTV package
No idea not got great experience of security cams until last week I had one to review, 4 wireless cameras, night vision, phone app seemed good very easy plug and play with plenty of settings and came with a 1TB drive in the unit they retails for around £180
Re: Recommend a CCTV package
I'm sure I have some brand new cameras here from when I had to change a DVR and the local shop only had full kits in stock so I bought them and took the DVR out. I will check and can put them in the BST for you if I have them.
Alternatively, do you have a NAS/server? You could look at IP cams and a PoE injector so you only have to run a single ethernet to the camera and set it to record to the NAS/server share.

Re: Recommend a CCTV package
I have the Alro and its good. Although they are not meant to be run constantly. I arm them when I leave the house and disarm them as I return. Doing this I found the batteries to last about 8 months
Re: Recommend a CCTV package
I'm after a powered solution. Having to take the things down to recharge them would just annoy me lol

Preferably after something with a DVR as my system isn't on all the time

Re: Recommend a CCTV package
I had a Securix system from Maplins which off memory was similar spec to the Swan system - 4 channel DVR with 2 external & 2 internal cameras but I then bought the matching cameras - possibly off evilsatan as I wanted 4 externals but never got round to fitting them. It's run perfectly for the last few years, pictures are fairly good although night vision as you'd expect is improved by having a security light also running, ios app works well.
Coincidently I took it all down at the weekend as have bought a new Hikvision system, more expensive but better quality cameras, however greater cost!
Re: Recommend a CCTV package
I bought these, they are POE and the picture is spot on.
The app is easy to use and the system is easy to set up install etc.

Re: Recommend a CCTV package
The new Hikvisions are POE cameras the DVR powers the cameras so only Ethernet type cable required, 2 camera system might just fit your budget.
other option is UNV camera system just had a 32 camera system fitted at work and the images are amazing with fantastic zoom too keeping images crisp.
Re: Recommend a CCTV package
I have a securix system thats ran well for 4 years at least now. Looking to go to hikvision but might wait till we move house.
