Hi guys now I know this my be a hard question to answer as I know theres a lot of factors to consider. Now Im going to ask about TVL first I know more should be better but theres more to it. Question 1 is if you looking for a cameras whats the best one to get 420 / 460 / 480 / 520 / 540 /560 I think 540/560 going to be out my price range ( All cams will have IRL ) Question2 Is to do with the shape of the camera. Now I know it maybe a silly question to ask but if there anything I kneed to know when picking a style of camera. As I like the Vandal Proof Domes Question 3 Is it better to go for a cameras with more IRL Question 4 how do I work out the power I need as the guy in the shop is trying to sell me a 5AMP 9 channel box but I have found a 10AMP 9 channel box for around the same money. Question 5 Do you think its better to go with a varifocal lens over a fixed lens. My system is going to be used around the out side of my house each cam is going to be around 8-10 feet up around bedroom window hight of the floor. Last Question Now I have found 2 domes that I think are ment to be the nut's and dont use IRL. And there on sale there got some good spec.

Hello m8 I was looking at getting a dual lens cam I was told it work's like this. 1 cam is for the day time colour and the othere is black and white and there ment to give you a better picture as each lens has its own job. I dont know if thats true or just sale's talk but thats what I was told hope that may help a little

Maybe you could give me some info on what you think would be best for the job hope you like I did look but cant find any thing to say if you can or cant post pic's if you cant ill just add link's And yes I wont laser beam security lol ( Joke )

Thanks m8 you full of info in the uk its hard to get any info on system's as theres not many shop's that let you in unless you in the trade I have only found the one shop. And thay guy dont no much about this unit in hiss own words. ( I cant tell you much m8 I just sell them we have sub contrackters that do all the work ) And uk forums not naming name's but unless you in the trade or buying from some one of the forum thay dont wont to know. So thanks againe m8 your input has elped a lot so as all the othere info from the guys on this cracking site. Im hoping I can help some one out soon maybe with a step by step for the DIY guys and girls out there that are new to this like I am.

Hay blake I asked the same sort of thing I think im going to go with dome on the front. As I dont think it will stand out to much and bullets at side and back. but may end up all dome's. As there going to be harder to remove I would think but I may be wrong

OK found the Seagate’s SV35 Series Drives I found it in a 500gb or a 1TB unit now im lost as to which one to get. The price for the 1TB is about double of the 500gig. But thats not a problem what im lost with is do I need a 1TB drive for 4-5 cam's max. 1 channel will be set at D1 the othere 3/4 chanels will be at cif I think Looking over the pdf file im I right that the system can only record 1 channel with motion detection setup Anyway hope to be going the shop later on today ( Saturday ) to maybe pick the system up as im looking to buy all the stuff in one go so going to try to get a deal on the price

Hello guys I found a dvr system in the UK that im looking at maybe buying. But cant find to much out about it as its rebranded at lest 3 times in the UK. Now I found the same system in the US its called a Intellicam G4-HD-E I just wonted to see if anyone in the US have used the G4 dvr and what you think to it?. Thanks guys

Thanks a lot guys and thanks Soundy for the full info and a link to the camera. www onlinesecurityproducts.co.uk/dome-cameras/clearance-sony-580tvl-ccd-samsung-winner-4-dsp-00002lux-vandal-resistant-28-11-varifocal-aspherical-lens.html When I can upload to the side ill upload a layout pic of my house and where im going to place the cameras

ok thanks dude I did wot to ask a question to you guys but forgot to so its 2.33am in the UK and its just poped in to my head LMAO. Im going to be putting the dvr in my loft now I was wondering if you think its worth fitting a cam in the loft just incase some one wonted to nick the dvr. Im looking to have the dvr Backing up over FTP for motion detection just got to find out how to FTP and what I need ( IE WEB SPACE OR SOMTHING) Thanks

Hay man yer thats the unit im getting the 8 channel one for £### + vat at 15% so £### GBP thats about $### USD I think VAT is the same as Tax in the us not 100% on it then im looking to add a 1TB hard drive cost about £60GBP thats about $90 USD [edit by mod-msrp prices only plz]

Thanks m8 Yer I think it did so no matter what setting I have the unit running it it will let me stream at a lesor rate. I take it this could all so work the othere way ?. All so m8 I see you sell the unit whatyu think to it ? Thanks for any info and on a side note is there a Hard Drive I should look out for that will run best on this unit or is it just any old sata 7200 drive Thanks

Yer will do m8. Found a cctv shop about 30min away from my house so phoned them up and asked about the apollo IE ( Do you sell a dvr called Apollo with hdmi out) yes. So I went there today and had a look at the system up and running looks a nice bit of kit asked to see some play back video witch the guy did and it looked ok but it was x 16 screen's he could not get it to bring up one big screen. It would just keep going back to live streem but it looked good anyway. And He got a price for me on the dvr with a HD and its £160 + vat at 15% so £184 GBP thats about $305 USD that is a 8 channel unit then I need to get a HD but a 1TB is only about £60 PS the unit in the USA is called a Intellicam G4-HD-E and can be found a www intellicamusa com if you wont to have a look. Dont know how much this unit would cost in the US be good to find out just how much we over paying n the UK Now Its not a badlooking unit better looking the the othere units on show it looked more like a part from a AV system.

Hay thanks dude ill check on that then ill all so upload the ip when i got the system sorted out . for you guys to take a look at. thanks againe

thats a cracking looking cam I think I would go for that. I can say with out a doubt that I would not think thats a camera from the pic

Hi m8 I cant post links yet but if you look on ebay theres a system thats got 4 wireless cam's and a base that you fit a sd card to and maybe a HD i dont know 100% but have a look on ebay in the uk there about £80-£100 So in the us there going to be around $60-$80 i would think

Hi m8 i dont know anything about cctv but I do know I would pay for some one thats in the cctv trad to setup a system for you save you money in the long run.

how does the system stack up that I have asked about ?. As I say its a basic system to beable to see live over the net.

Hi ya its around £400/$654 up to £600/$982 top end But would like to stay close to the £400-£500/$818 mark. As I say only looking for a basic system that I can monitor and control over the net. Thanks
