Aban-CCTV-Camera

All the 4 Channel DVRs from the website, apart from one being the AVTech 674, are indeed all D1 Recorders, 25 FPS per channel.

Pick up a used linksys router that is DD-WRT flashable. Router manufactures are so slow updating there firmware, so i prefer open source supported hardware.

You can try masking out areas of movement, such as the trees, if possible. Sometimes the issue is that the cameras produce a grainy image that is interpreted by the dvr as movement.

You could try using an infrared sensitive camera on the inside, and have an infrared light outside?

I personally use Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB hard drives, which are 7200rpm. But due to the floods in Thailand, hard drives prices are still high but are dropping slowly, So I’d wait a couple a few weeks to save a few bob. I've never had much luck with WD, so avoid them.

Your best picking up a cheap dvr for about the £100-150, you can also get cameras from £20 and up. You will also need cables and a power supply for the cameras.

Like Soundy said, IR cameras wil not work behind glass. The camera is best to be mounted on the wall with a clear view of sight. Here is a budget cctv camera system, that might do the trick.

OMG -50, brrrrrrr

Welcome along, love the name lol.

I always use Samsung SpinPoint F3, and find them very reliable.

Perhaps it’s a power supply issue? The camera might be under powered when connected with all the other cameras? Just a suggestion.

Take a look at the PIXIM cameras. They offer the best results for high light contrasts.

Hi, I know that phone jammers are illegal in the UK, so i’d stay clear of them. I am not sure of the legality of the Mosquito, i’d assume if it isn’t banned yet, it soon will be. I really think night vision cameras that are viewable via there LEDs glowing, will be a better way to deter bad behaviour.

Put posters of his mug shot all over town lol! Could turn into a good viral marketing campaign!!

Would have suggested using Explorer 8, browser compatibility is usually the issue.

Agreed, there are known issues with some DVR software and browser compatibility. IE 8 or below is recommended.

Additionally if there is a strong light source in shot, such as a street light, that will effect the responsiveness of the IR.

Great post, thank you.

Very nice job that matie. Thanks for sharing.
