Recommendation on security camera for new build

[terence8888 0]

Hi all,

I'm in the process of building a house and I would like to have security camera installed (by myself).  The requirement is relatively simple: 2 or 4 outdoor cameras.  The requirements are simple: remote viewing and some form of storage (onsite or offsite).  Priority is simplicity and not too expensive  I'm thinking of IP-camera using PoE.  The plan is to ask the builder to run CAT5/6 cables from where the cameras are going to be installed to a central point (utlity cupboard).  The rest will just be installing the camera and setting up the PVR.  Am I missing something?  Any recommendation for components to go with it? 

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Hi going iP is a good option ….. I would also say at this stage of your build ….. run more cables to we’re you might need cameras at a later date  …… or we’re you might want outdoor lighting as POE lighting is getting popular at the moment

Thanks.  It's a good idea.  I didn't know about lighting.  Will investigate
