best CCTV for these requirements?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am in the UK and looking to upgrade my home cctv system and am looking for

some advice and suggestions on what best would fit my requirements.

 

I would need:

 

- At least 4 cameras (2 indoors 2 outdoors) with option to add more cameras later

 

- To record motion capture images every second or so to a device like a DVR with a

hard disk and to simultaneous upload to an ftp server (so I can have a copy

of the images stored at home and a copy stored externally)

 

- to be able to view all cameras throuhg one interface via a web browser from anywhere

 

- to have descrete cameras that are small enough to be 'hidden' from view

 

- if possible to be able to view the live feeds on a mobile phone

 

- if possible to be powered over the same cable the feed the video signal as I

don't wnat to have to install power outlests everywhere the cameras are (is this possible?)

 

Up until now I have used devices from ICAMView which work ok but

I now need a more professional and reliable system. Having look at companies

like CPC who have loads of different dvr/camerra packages i am at a lost to

know which ones I should be considering?

 

for example:

http://cpc.farnell.com/x-vision/s4-450d-e4tx-160/dvr-4-vandel-dome-netw-160gb/dp/SR0770405?Ntt=sr0770405

cheers

Hi

 

I have a budget of around £500 uk pounds. What I find hard to work out

is what are the differences between the various PVRs? I really need one

that can store photos locally and send the to an ftp server. Based on my budget

what choices do I have?

 

cheers

"Professional and reliable" for £500 may be a bit ambitious. A single "professional" camera can cost £500.

I guess its just a question of balancing cost vs quality.

You where happy with the ICAMview devices to a point ---- so where is it that the current setting is failing your requirements? What need is not being met by your current system?

Hi

Do you want IP or analog camera's? If IP I would consider the QNAP Security range and you can then just choose which IP camera's you need.
