Need ideas on CCTV system

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I want to have two (for now, four to five when complete) cameras watching my house, interior at first.

 

I thought of using my Synology DS213j with their Surveillance Station at first, but I think it will be to weak to handle a couple of 720p cameras.

 

Now I don't know what to do really, I prefer to not have a computer running 24/7 and I don't feel like spending 1K USD on a DVR/NVR.

 

So, I thought I'd ask you guys for advice. What do you think?

You can get a NVR for under $350 that would handle up to 8 IP Cameras

 

Now you just need to decide on cameras and how you are going to mount/wire them.

 

I would look at IP cameras, analog is pretty much "dead" at this point

Nice, would you mind mentioning one (or a few)?

 

I'm thinking IP cameras, either Foscam (which seem pretty easy to get hold of here in Sweden) or HIKvision, however they seem harder to come by.

if you can buy hikvision 8ch NVR ,it is cheaper and can do ur job efficiently.as it has a throughput of 40 mbps
