Hi Gents/Ladies,
Hope all is well, Im a complete novice when it comes to CCTV only very basic understanding so please bear with me.
Im looking for a cctv camera to monitor the outside of my house which is very small being from inner city London areas , in addition to this as many of you will know crime is high.
I basically staying to wireless to avoid channeling cabling etc, I would also like to view the footage on my computer, the distance between the camera and pc is minimal.
After visiting all the local DIY shops, it seems that maplin have an ideal solution, price wise aswell.

All in all this will cost around £160, exclude any fixtures and fitting, I have a few questions:
1) In terms of quality at night, how good will this system be?
2) Can I watch real time through my pc and record?
3) Will my pc have to be on at night if recording?
Please offer me your expert opinions.
Regards
