Hi Folks, I just picked up a HIKVision DS-8716HI-S DVR unit with only a couple of outdoor IR cams that seem to be poor quality. I need some advice on which cameras I should look at for the best resolution for a domestic 1/4 acre house block. Also some pointers on how to actually work out camera positioning for the best coverage. Any & all help appreciated.

I needed to get some sort of surveillance system on the cheap, as I am currently on disability & trying to stop an absolute nutter from persecuting my missus & kids. I am just looking for any & as much advice I can get, so I can build a system that will atleast stop, if not catch him smashing our windows & thieving our property.

Hi Guys n Gals, I am in OZ & recently purchased my 1st DVR & a couple of cams, to help protect my family from a convicted sex offender next door, who has systematically terrified my wife & children, not to mention damage my home (windows), animals, (poisoned & stolen puppies), vehicles (thrown paint stripper over 2 cars) & indecently exposed himself & made suggestive comments to my wife & sons. This all has been allowed to go unpunished as the police wont act without absolute proof. We have several audio recordings of his bragging about the damage & filthy behavior, but it is inadmissable in court. I have very little knowledge of using surveillance systems , unlike the grubby neighbour who uses state of the art set ups as protection for himself. Please be patient if I ask some seemingly silly questions about getting set up. lol On a brighter note Happy New Year ALL
