Home CCTV setup

Waitey · Feb 8, 2016

Looking for options on this.

I have no idea where to start.

Needs to have 3x cameras - With night vision setting.
Screen to monitor them
Central HDD to record it all.

Whats out there?

Doesn't @Gaz_ do home security setups? Might be home entertainment - but someone definitely deals with this stuff on here...

Have a search for Hikvision recorders and HD cameras good bit of kit.

Cookson · Feb 8, 2016

Our local pub recently had a cracking system fitted where the cameras track cars moving up and down the street

you could get away with a decent IP camera and record on any laptop/computer.

it depends if you want a dedicated recorder or not?

I use an old desktop that isn't connected to the web, so just records 24/7 365 days a year.

Ideally needs to be completely standalone. I can rig and old PC up for the recording.

I did, but I couldn't remember if it was you or not, I knew Gaz also did it so edited you out, in case I was wrong and dragged you into a random thread

How much for all that, excluding the ipad (this needs a wall mounted screen of decent size?

How do they draw power?

Rubicon_ · Feb 8, 2016

Looking online they take 12v dc. Looks a good bit of kit.

I bought a sannce kit off amazon for my house, got 4 cameras with infrared night vision, control box suitable for 8 cameras, all cables and a 1tb built in HD for about £170. Has an app to watch remotely and record what you see or can be watched on the TV through HDMI.

So far it's been as good as I'd expect. The email functions to email when motion is detected or a camera wire is cut can be a little temperamental but other than that it's spot on for the money

Draw power using Power over Ethernet. So you just have one Ethernet cable going to it and it draws it from a POE network switch.

For all that your looking at about £800+VAT.

If you wanted a monitor you would need to connect it all to an NVR so looking at another £500+VAT.

These are proper quality though.

Amazing video quality!

Do you work nationally?

I'd have two commercial locations for you to do. One needing 2 cams and one needing 3 cams.

Can supply info for quote if needed.

Andy_con · Feb 8, 2016

I have one of these and the quality is just as good as that Vs. HIK Vision at 1080p 30FPS
I made an offer and got mine for about £70

but totally 100% agree standard cameras that operate in lines are old hat and crap.

Quick Noob query...

I have one CCTV camera at home.. It sends me motion alert images when I'm not there and saves videos to the onboard SD card. If i want it to record all the time to somewhere is it best to use an NVR or upload the videos to somewhere ?

DannyR · May 30, 2016

Depending on make some can store on a NAS

Gaz_ · May 30, 2016

Yeah go for hik vision or Dahua as they are pretty comparable in price vs quality. All systems we fit are IP, powered down the cat5 cable

One thing to note,
Dont have them too high up or all as you'll see is tops of heads,......

For intruder identification you need to ideally be filling over 50% of the image

Gaz_ · May 30, 2016

Something like this

http://www.cctvsuppliersuk.co.uk/se...xel-ip-cctv-kit-4-channel-nvr-with-4-cameras/

Plus a monitor. Then think about hooking it into your network for remote viewing via app/browser. Port forwarding/static IP will be needed for this

The bigger the hard drive the better. On a 4 camera system you want at least a 4tb..... Ideally more . This will keep the frame rate and resolutions decent

IMO You'll need a months recording to be of any use etc

Also think of putting them on a ups for power outages

AndrewF · Jun 1, 2016

I would recommend against anything Wi-Fi based or recording to SD cards

Run cables to cameras and have it recording to a dedicated NVR like Hikvison or Dahua as mentioned above

I would also recommend against NAS drives too, complicates things and I have know hard drives have a high fail rate as the disks are constantly recording

Most Hikvision and Dahua have built in DDNS so no need for a static IP, simply forward the ports and away you go

Cool thanks..

I actually bought this when on offer... Really surprised by quakity tbh..

They do their own NVR? Or can i get anything? This is for home so i dont need anything huge.
