    Guidance on new CCTV system

    I live in the UK and have a 5 bedroom, detached house with integral garage, a large rear garden with patio and a smaller front garden with parking area for 3 cars. I am happy to install a system myself, but looking for guidance on positioning cameras and purchasing a good all-round brand i.e. good quality of camera, NVR and software. My requirements are: - IP system, POE, probably around 4 or 5 cameras (one on each side of the house + one for the porch). - 8 channel NVR to allow for expansion - Audio camera installed in porch. This may need to be wifi as I don't think I could easily get wires to the porch - Around £500, possibly higher for better quality cameras and software - Notifications to Android mobile - Cameras to give good quality images, ideally 4K, both day and night I have a gigabyte wired network around the house with a large switch in the loft, so easy enough to connect the NVR to this to enable access through TV's or computer. I don't want much I know Any advice would be very much welcome.

    Home cctv system for a newbie

    Hi Jim, I also live in the UK and have started looking for a CCTV system to install at home. It sounds like we have similar requirements: - IP system, POE, probably around 4 cameras to start - 8 channel NVR to allow for expansion - Around £500, possibly higher for better quality cameras and software Like you, I expect the cameras to be installed around the roofline to provide a good range, but also to help with wiring, which can be run through the eaves. However, I would also like to install an audio camera in the front door porch. Did you purchase a system in the end and if so, what did you get? Was it a self-install? I appreciate it is around 9 months since your last post so technology will have moved on even is such a short period of time, but I need a start point and I'm phased out from reading many, many articles and looking at lots of cameras etc.
