Help me choose a CCTV System

[micmac 0]

Hello All.

 

I need to set up a cctv system in my shop, but the more I read the more bamboozled I am.

 

The wherehouse that I get my stock are selling a wireless 4 camera system with a 500g hhd but this will cost me £420.

However I have seen similer sytems on a certain website that sell them for about £250 shipped in from Hong Kong.

 

Another alternative is one described in title as... 4-CHANNEL HDD WIRELESS USB NETWORK DVR CCTV CAMERA AUDIO Video Alarm Precord CAM

 

And description...

4CH WIRELESS USB NETWORK DVR CCTV NIGHT DAY CAMERA CAM

Built-in USB Based Network DVR

12LED Nightvision Cameras

Higher Resolution Cameras

 

and the price is £108

 

It is the difference between USB network and HDD that is confusing me. My intention is to be able to record 4 cameras (say for 1 week at a time) and be able to view them in real time but I only have a Netbook in the shop, and my mate thinks it would not have enough space to record over a decent length of time.

 

I don't want to spend £420 if I can get the same thing more or less for £108.

 

I am sorry if I seem to have gone o a bit but I think an employee is stealing from me I need to get CCTV in as soon as I can and any advice would be appriciated

I don't know that there are many cost effective, reliable, and quality wireless systems.

 

Can you hard wire the cameras?

My shop is really small, and since I need netbook on counter I would need receiver here, and shop couldn't cope with wires everywhere

I do have a two camera wireless system in with a monitor, but it only has an AV input / output, so don't think I can put this online as it were.

hi, £108 you will just be buying junk that will not work

if its for your shop look at wired systems. also in the uk you have to use a system that is fit for use if used in public.

 

 

£420 will get you a good 4 way system with full internet viewing

wireless or wired you still need to get cables to the cameras with wired you can do it with just 1 cable (for 4 cameras)
