    Home CCTV advice & NVR Suggestions

    Interesting replies chaps. I suppose from my point of view I don't really need CCTV but i enjoy researching and learning some new skills ( and its something to play with) My budget is tight so my whole mantra is get the best system as I can for as few £ as possible. I know this will never be a commercial system but like I said I don't need that. I've had good fun so far setting up my wireless bridge from an old router that was dumped in a cupboard. My camera has all been dispatched so its a waiting game now. On my NVR situation i've been looking at some alternate. either a QNAP NAS (http://www.ebuyer.com/501196-qnap-ts-120-1-bay-desktop-nas-enclosure-ts-120?utm_source=google&utm_medium=products&gclid=CjwKEAiA9KymBRD6g6iOvv2joU0SJAB0vRQyUyzxhpNiPEzM2HSikguXbOn4G0LamAJWEPmSj1pSxxoC0nnw_wcB) or a Raspberry PI set up as a NAS. Again i know they are not professional solutions but they should serve my needs. Anyone tried either of these solutions?

    Home CCTV advice & NVR Suggestions

    Thanks for the reply. Ive read that ispy isnt the way to go now as they have started charging for some elements? So with a NVR1 would i not be able to record at the full quality? Whats the £33 a camera? is that to add more channels? Where is the best place to get a NVR2? what are they called? Sorry for all the questions
  3. Hi everyone, can I ask for some advice… I am looking to set up a small residential system to cover my house. I ideally want to cover the front and my garage. I looked at getting a system from amazon, but after reading into the quality of 700tvl cameras I decided against it. I am on a bit of a tight budget so keeping costs down is a must. I have ordered a Hikvision DS-2CD2032 from aliexpress to cover the car outside. I have also already got a Samsung 7010p (http://www.samsungsecurity.co.uk/en/products/cameras/dome/fixed%20domes/internal%20cameras/snf-7010.aspx) I was thinking about putting this inside the garage. I have also got 2 watchbot cameras, not sure if they are much use? I will have the cameras running to an DD-WRT router that will be acting as a bridge to my main sky router. My next challenge is how to record, as previously said I’m on a tight budget. I have been looking at 2 options… An old laptop (i7 processor I think) running Axxon Next or XprotectGo. I’m a newbie to all this so I’m not sure how hard these are to set up or which is the best solution? Or is there better out there? I don’t need to hold video for get lengths of time just a few days. My other option is one of those mini NVR, you can get them on Aliexpress for around £25. What are these like? Is there a brand to avoid and where’s the best place to get them? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. PS do cameras sell well? The Samsung I have is brand new, I might put it in the classifieds to get something more suitable to my needs.
